THE WISDOM OF MOVING FORWARD

THE WISDOM OF MOVING FORWARD..often times we spend so much time crying over the past, the past relationships, the past miracles and doors, opportunities and levels such that we lose focus on what is presently available to us. Isn't it amazing the children of Israel were crying to be allowed to go back to Egypt, while God was busy bringing them to the promised land. You have to apply the wisdom of moving forward in order to move to your next level. It takes a very strong person to let the past be past. To cry over your past and carry injuries and  heart breaks drain you of the strength you need to possess your present promise. Isaiah 43:18-19 puts it this way...forget the former things behold I am doing a new thing. You can't behold by looking back..let the past be the past and look up, there's something new waiting for you. I command Grace and the power of God over your life, raise your head above the storm and frustrate the devil with your moving forward and keep your head up regardless of what you've been through. Speak right now,  your tongue has power " I AM MOVING FORWARD", don't die where the past left you. Bounce back and keep your head up! He is your God!!! Amen!

THE INCORRUPTIBLE SEED - WATER AND SEED

'WORD -THE INCORRUPTIBLE SEED'
The WORD OF GOD is both SEED and WATER

Words spoken in faith put pressure on every circumstances. When a circumstance tries to put pressure on us, we can turn it around by putting pressure on that circumstance with the Word of God.

Mk 11:23, Jesus said: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

If we believe, doubt not in our hearts, and believe what we are saying, it will come to pass. The Word spoken becomes a seed.

It may be small at first, but it just keeps growing, and it keeps putting pressure against the mountain. That constant pressure of the seed (spoken Word) making its demand will bring the harvest of desired results.

But for many of us, the problem is that we have not really understand fully that the seed is what forces the production. The soil does not decide what to raise or where to put the pressure.

An example: When we planted soy beans, we got more soy beans, one hundred times out a hundred.

The seed, not the soil, determines the production. Now, the soil may determine the amount of production, but the seed determines what will be produced.

So the seed that Jesus is talking about in this kingdom principle is the Word of God. In other words, the Word of Promise, the exceeding great and precious promises, is the seed source!

Rom 10:8, the apostle Paul says, "The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart."
Paul is telling us how to plant God's Word in our hearts, where it will force production.

Then, in Lk 17:5,6, Jesus told two great faith secrets. The disciples had said, "Lord, Increase our faith." Jesus said, "If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you."

The King James Version says it SHOULD obey you. The Greek says it WOULD obey you.

Jesus said faith works like a seed, and the way you plant it is to say it.

Now, can we see the correlation between this and what God was saying through the prophet Isaiah?
"As the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, it forces the earth into production. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth. It becomes the seed for the sower, and bread for the eater."

The seed has Spirit Life in it. And Jesus said, "...man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God" (Lk 4:4).

The Word is a life source. Jesus said, "... the words that I Speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (Jn 6:63).

The seed is full of life. It is the Kingdom Seed. It is called the Word of the Kingdom (Matt. 13:19). And Jesus said:
..So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, and he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself.... Mk 4:26-28

That constant pressure of the seed (spoken Word) making its demand will bring the harvest of desired results.

As we speak God's Word, faith comes. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing, and hearing, and hearing the Word of God. That's why it's necessary for us to continue to speak the Word. This principle is so simple but many of us have missed it. All through the Bible we see that the Word of God is the seed. We sow it by speaking it into the heart, which is referred to as the ground or soil in Mk 4:26.

Question: Are we basing our faith on the Word of God and like Peter, who said, "Nevertheless at THY WORD..." (Lk 5:5

The Word says, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony..." (Rev. 12:11).

Beloved, if we will hold fast to God's Word and continue to plant the seed, IT WILL EVENTUALLY CHANGE WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE IN LIFE!

PROPHECY? Yes But Work on it!

Prophetic utterances from a prophet gives you a preview of the future set by God not man(2nd Kings 4:16-17) for God does nothing without revealing His secrets to His servants. Amos 3:7-.
This makes the devil and your enemies to attack you but remember non of the words of God goes back to Him void but accomplishes it purpose(Isaiah 55:10-11). So don't be afraid, dismayed neither discouraged for as the devil attacks you, bringing all darkness, as you walk in the valley of the shadow of death(not real death) His rod and His stuff they shall be with you, they shall protect you, encourage you, empower you and comfort you(psalms 23:4)for His promises are Yes and Amen(2nd Corinthians 1:20-.)and He doesn't glory in death(Psalms 6:8-, 88:11-)and above all, He is not man that He may lie(Numbers 23:19-).
So fight for prophecy, push for prophecy for it to manifest, for it to birth what it is incubating which is your expectation that all glory may go back to Jehovah God for it is not by power neither by might but by the Spirit of God(Zachariah 4:6-)

Work on it...it will definitely manifest!

MENTORSHIP

Treasure Your Mentor.
Mentorship is the impartation of information. Mentorship is accepting perfect knowledge from an imperfect man. Your mentor is anyone who
consistently teaches you what you want to know.

It was the secret of Elijah and Elisha; Moses and Joshua; Paul and Timothy.
Pursue and extract the knowledge of the mentors that God has made available to your life.

Mentorship Is Learning Through The Pain of Another. Your Future Is Determined By Who You Choose To Believe . A mentor is not just  a towering figure over your life but a friend, a brother, a sister,  a father etc ... A good mentor is that person who fits well in that gap you need them to be and is led by God first before he /she leads you. It may not be about age but divine wisdom in conduct, life, love and relationships with all people. Seek God in finding that true mentor.

I love them all who mentor me. I truly love you.
“A wise man will hear, and will
increase learning; and a man of
understanding shall attain unto wise
counsels,” (Proverbs 1:5).

13 FACTS ABOUT THE MIDNIGHT PRAYERS

1. MIDNIGHT is a time of transition, from one day to another. God can bring a transition in your life as you pray at MIDNIGHT.

2. MIDNIGHT is a time of great spiritual activity, both good and evil. Destinies of man are shaped and interrupted at MIDNIGHT. If you are not shaping your destiny at MIDNIGHT, then somebody may interrupt your life at MIDNIGHT.

3. At a natural level great victories have been won when nations were caught by surprise as their armies were asleep at MIDNIGHT. Satan launches attacks at MIDNIGHT: he feeds people in their dreams at MIDNIGHT; he rapes others in their as they are asleep at MIDNIGHT, etc.

God had to wait until midnight to execute judgment on Egypt: (Exodus 11:4-6) Then Moses said, “Thus says the LORD: ‘About MIDNIGHT I will go out into the midst of Egypt; and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the hand mill, and all the firstborn of the animals.’”

5. Midnight is the time people are most vulnerable to spiritual attacks. It is the hour when enemies lay siege and render people defenseless. It is also the time that you can launch a deadly, surprise attack on your enemies’ camp.

6. As a Christian, you can break open closed doors as you pray at MIDNIGHT. Samson lay low till MIDNIGHT; then he arose at MIDNIGHT, took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron. (Judges 16:3)

7. Mysterious things happen the most at MIDNIGHT. Have you lost anything or anyone very dear to you under mysterious circumstances? Chances are that the operation was carried out at the MIDNIGHT hour. Remember the harlot in Solomon’s time who lost her child by sleeping on it at MIDNIGHT and at MIDNIGHT she stole her friend’s child:
1 Kings 3:20(KJV) And she arose at MIDNIGHT, and took my son from beside me, while your handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.

10. David, the man who never lost a single battle in all his life, has this to say:
At MIDNIGHT, I will rise and give thanks to You, because of your righteous judgments. (Ps: 119:62)
What excuse do you have? Do you say, “I wish I arise but I’ll be tired”? Do you have a busier schedule than that of King David (president of the nation of Israel?). I don’t think so.

11. Do you know better than what Paul and Silas knew? Who praised and worshipped God at MIDNIGHT:
But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. (Acts 16:25-26)

12. MIDNIGHT is the best time to make serious intercession:
And He said to them, “which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at MIDNIGHT and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him;’ And he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give it to you’? I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he’s his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.” (Luke 11:5-8)

13. Praying at MIDNIGHT is a sacrifice that will not go unrewarded. God sees our desperation through the sacrifices we make to Him.

Pray this prayer:
-Lord help me to understand that when we are asleep, satan and his demons aren’t asleep but they are busy launching arrows at us,
-Lord help me to understand that there are serious activities that takes place at MIDNIGHT much of which are against us as Christians
-Lord deliver me from spiritual laziness so that I may rise up to defend my inheritance and to take back what the devil stole from me

GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU PRAY AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND FOREVER

PAINFUL CRISES ARE GODS BEST WAYS TO MOULD YOU!

Sometimes the best thing that can happen to us is something we would describe as painful or difficult. This is because problems and crises are often God’s chosen tools to develop character in us. When He allows these situations in our lives, it’s not only to build our character, but we are equipped for the next level of destiny and greatness He has for us.

I’m convinced your best days are ahead of you, not behind you. I know this because 1 Corinthians 2:9 says, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him” (NLT). You can be sure God has prepared great things for you, things so good you cannot even imagine them.

Those things are prepared for you, so the question becomes: Are you prepared for them? In other words, are you ready to handle the wonderful opportunities that are in store for your life? Do you have the wisdom, the maturity, and the character you need to steward them well?

Stay lifted!
