The Spirit, The Oil & The Kingship

 1 Samuel 16:13 It is God who makes kings. It is God who creates royalty. It is God who chooses leadership. It is God who brings about royal lines, and royal lineages on earth. He does it in His sovereign will and plan. He choses kings. He lifts up kings and brings down kings. He brings people before royalty. He makes royals out of non royals. He does so according to His purposes. He does so by His Spirit. There is a dimension of God's Spirit that makes royals, both spiritual and earthly royals. It is called the Spirit of the Lord. This was that dimension of the Holy Spirits anointing that came upon David. The Spirit of the Lord makes royalty of men and can make a dynasty of kingship from a family and lineage. The Spirit of the Lord makes wisdom available to those who have it. Wisdom rewards and honors men. Proverbs 4:8,9 Wisdom is a requirement for leaders and rulers. Wisdom is often associated with kings God has chosen- King Saul before he departed from the Lord, Joseph in Egypt,...

Remember Me

Judges 16:28 Our text passage shows us God remembered Samson and granted him his heart desire. God answered Samson's prayer. In remembering Samson, Samson's prayer was answered and he performed one final exploit which fulfilled his life's mission on earth. It is a beautiful thing for God to remember you. When God remembers you for good get ready for good things. When God remembered Samson, his prayer was answered and he was honored with strength while his enemies the Philistines were destroyed. Judges 16:28-30 Every time God remembers a person or a people for good in scriptures it is either for honor or deliverance. This is when God remembers a person for good. May God honor and deliver us. God is not blind that He cannot see us. God is not deaf that He cannot hear us. God is not armless or his hands too short that He cannot stretch out His hands to deliver. Isaiah 59: 1-2 Isaiah 50: 2 God is not a carved image made from wood, God is not some small pocket god that we carry ...

The Need For Power

Acts 1:8  There is a power that makes a human being more than a mere mortal. There is a spiritual power that answers to all areas and issues of life. There is a power that makes our lives whole, healed, well and established. There is a power that makes us effective in our life's assignment, calling and responsibilities. Acts 1:8 There is a power that brings salvation and attracts people to your God. There is a power that establishes families, businesses, careers and the work of a man's hand. Humanity was not originally created powerless. We were created with the blessing of the Lord. Genesis 1:26,28 To be blessed is to be empowered, it is an empowerment to succeed. The Lord would have us succeed. Your life needs power. You have a need for power so as to win every warfare against you. Ephesians 6:12 You need power to prevail in life. A powerless man, a mere man can be swallowed up in life at any moment. When the power of God is in and upon you, what took out others will not take...

The Patriarch's Blessing

Genesis 49: 1-28 Our text passage shows us Israel praying over his twelve sons and telling them what was to befall them in the years ahead of them. It's a very insightful passage we can draw many life lessons and spiritual lessons from. The power of a fathers prayer over his children, especially a godly father is very powerful. Jacob who became Israel is one of the father's of faith. He is the grandson of Abraham and the son of Isaac. Jacob was a man of great destiny. He was a man of God,  he was prophetic and he had encounters with God., great encounters of God. One of the places where we see the prophetic dimension at work the most in Jacob/Israel's life is in his fatherly/patriarchal blessing to  each of his twelve sons. Through Jacob/Israel's prayer for his sons we see the power of a father's prayer for his children. The words of Jacob/Israel during his prophetic prayers for his twelve sons show us not only what had happened in the lives of his sons up till the ...

Something Sweet

Exodus 15:22-26 Our text passage shows us bitter water turning to sweet water. This happened through God's intervention through His prophet. God can make your life sweet. The application of the cross, the wisdom of God to our bitter situation converts that which is bitter to sweetness. The tree or branch thrown into the bitter water represents the cross of Jesus Christ and the wisdom of God. God specializes in making the bitter sweet. It was what the ministry of Jesus Christ was all about.- turning the life and destiny of people from that which is bitter to that which is sweet. Isaiah 61:1-7 We see similar experiences in other passages of the scripture where bitter scenarios as a result of unpleasant experiences were converted to sweet experiences. The blind receiving their sight is sweetness to the blind. The lame walking is sweetness to the lame. The demon possessed getting delivered is sweetness to the oppressed. Those burdened and yoke laden being set free is sweetness to their...

By My Spirit

 Zechariah 4:6 Mountains can be levelled. Challenges can be overcome. Enemies can be defeated. However it doesn't happen in our human power or by human strength. It happens by God's Spirit! We can only go so far without the help of the Spirit of God. We can only achieve so much without the Spirit of God. We can not achieve supernatural things without God's Spirit. Men who fulfill their destinies do it by the Spirit of God. Men who don't go wrong achieve it by the Spirit of God. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is so important to us. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God with you. He is an excellent Spirit you can have a relationship with. He guides, He leads, He reminds, He communicates, He helps, He advocates, He fights and He reveals. We cannot defeat the lions of life without the Spirit of God and the might He gives. Judges 14:5-6 The Spirit of might dimension of the Holy Spirit was the secret of Samson. Judges 13:25 We cannot shift and overcome the mountains and block...

What Champions Do

  Champions win. Champions are visible. They are visible because they have been winning. Winning is a key to visibility. If you keep winning in life's affairs, your world will begin to notice you. And you should win, God would have you win. You can be and you should be visible for the Lord. Light is visible, if it is not it is darkness. You are not called to darkness, you are called to light, we are called to be the lights of the world through Christ Jesus! Light wins, darkness loses. Darkness always bows to light. Champions are light in their jurisdiction and habitation. King David was called the light of Israel. He led the armies of his nation into battle and always came back victorious. He never lost any battle on the battlefield. From the moment that young man went into battle against Goliath and won, he was visible in the land and kept winning his battles. David was a champion, a champion of light! Goliath, the Philistine giant he defeated on the battlefield was a champion too...
