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...

Exodus 4:1-5 Our text passage shows us God asking Moses what he had in his hand. The answer is a rod, a shepherd's rod which God would use mightily. What Moses had in his hand was all God needed. God doesn't ask us to give what we do not have. It is the kingdom of darkness who inconvenience people, asking for all sorts of things people can't get or what people do not have. Anyone who inconveniences people to handover or give what is beyond them more often than not is a false prophet or false minister of the gospel. Ezekiel 34:10 There is no time you do not have something to offer the Lord. There is no time you do not have something to potentially change your fortunes through God. Your prayer, your praise, your giving, your service, your skill, your kindness to the less privileged are seed you can sow. They are things you can give. The widow who gave two mites in the temple gave the least in the eyes of men but in the sight of Jesus Christ she gave the most. Mark 12:41-44 Th...

Revelation 22:13 Our enemy does not have the final word on anything that concerns us. He shouldn't. Our Creator is the one who has the final word concerning our situation, our matter and our  circumstances. We have to be careful who we listen to. 1 John 4:1 A wrong voice can take us down a wrong path. A wrong voice can take us off our purpose. A wrong voice may sound logical, seem right but it can lead to destruction. Proverbs 14:12 There are many voices on the earth, and many voices in the world. They are all speaking different things. Some are good things being spoken and some are not. Some are misguided voices. Some are sincere voices. Some are concerned voices. We have the voice of situations and circumstances. There's the voice of experience. There's the voice of the flesh. There's the voice of our dreams. There's the voice of human beings, companies and products. Nature has a voice declaring the glory of God, glory has a voce. Psalm 19:1-4 Rocks, stones and pl...

Judges 14:5-9 When Samson defeated a lion that is in its prime he got a reward from the battle. His reward was the honey found in the carcass of the lion. This suggests to me that every battle we win has something in it for us. Every warfare has spoils we are to receive from it after winning. This honey Samson shared with his parents, which represent his reward, his blessing, his spoil of war benefitting his family. When Abraham battled a coalition of 4 kings  to rescue his nephew Lot and prevailed against them he got the spoils of war. It was from those spoils he tithed to Melchizedek. Genesis 14 In warfare, the winner gets the spoils. In a contest or competition the winner gets the gold. When David killed Goliath he got the 'spoils' of battle- his family being free from paying taxes, access to the palace, employment and leadership in the kings army, and marriage to the princess (one of kings Saul's daughters.) 1 Samuel 17:25 After all the Apostle Paul had gone through in ...

Hebrews 12:2 We know from our text passage that Jesus Christ kept going as a human despite the pain, discomfort and death ahead of him because He could see the glory ahead. The joy set before Him was His reward. He knew and saw the glory ahead of Him, He saw the reward, it kept Him going. You and I are part of His reward, His testimony and the glory ahead that He saw. Knowing there are rewards ahead of our faith journey or in the path of our faith journey helps us endure what we need to endure. Rewards help us endure. Rewards motivate us. Rewards inspire us to keep going. Rewards help us to stay consistent. Rewards strengthen us to endure to the end. An aspect of having faith is knowing that God rewards our faith. Your faith in God is seen in your trust, your consistency, your dedication, your prayer life, your praise and godly lifestyle towards God. We have not been called to have faith for just the sake of having faith. Our faith pleases God. Hebrews 11:6 And when God is pleased He r...

  Isaiah 54:11,12 God is a builder. He builds lives, He builds up individuals and families. He builds nations. He builds generations and linages. Deuteronomy 7:9 He builds ministries and altars! He builds His church! Matthew 16:18 When God builds, He builds beautifully. When God builds He builds perfectly. When God builds He builds in strength. When God builds He builds with foresight. When God builds He builds with consideration. When God builds He builds to time! When God builds He builds to purpose. When God builds He builds with a plan. When God builds He builds on a worthy foundation. God builds and He gives people the wisdom to build too. There is wisdom to build, and it comes from God. God builds through people. God builds through us. God builds with people. Materials are needed in putting buildings together. What materials like wood, blocks and stones are to buildings is what our decisions, choices and obedience are to the building of our lives. Daily we are building, we ar...
