Intention (2)

 2 Samuel 7:1-16

Our text passage shows us an insight that brought blessings into King David's life.

 King David desired to build a house for God, it was his intention and this pleased God.

God honored David's good intention towards God's presence (the ark of the covenant), He did so through David's son- King Solomon.

Kind Solomon went on to build what is perhaps the most glorious and expensive temple ever built for the Lord.

1 Kings 6:1-14

It all started with a godly intention, King David's intention.

Your intention can also please God.

David's intention brought glory to God.

God wants to honor your godly intentions as He honored David's intention.

Your intention emanates from your heart and gives strength to your imagination.

What you intend is what you will most likely imagine.

Whatever a people intend, imagine, and work together in unity to achieve will be accomplished.

Genesis 11:4-6

Your intention can become your focus, when this focus is given illumination through your imagination, it's manifestation is almost certain.

Your intention is powerful.

King Solomon is another individual who benefitted from having a good and godly intention.

Solomon the young king of Israel found himself in the big shoes of his father, the legendary King David.

A young man, with his father's legend to live up to, at a time he had just stepped into King David's big shoes,  Solomon asked God for wisdom (a discerning heart and knowledge) to lead God's people right.

Pleased with Solomon's request, a request which came from Solomon's heart, God gave Solomon an abundance of what he asked for, and added distinction, majesty, and material prosperity.

1 Kings 3:7-14

Solomon's intention was right and it got him blessed.

The blessings he got from God started with Solomon intending to lead God's people right.

1 Kings 3:9,10

Your kingdom intentions can attract blessings into your life and generations.

This is part of what it means to seek first the kingdom of God, His righteousness, and all other things will be added.

Matthew 6:33

God spoke to Abraham, giving him the instruction to sacrifice Isaac his son on Mount Moriah.

Abraham intended to obey.

Abraham wasn't like Jonah the evangelist who didn't want the people of Nineveh to repent and disobeyed God temporarily.

Abraham acted on his intention and God given instruction, he got blessed for it.

Genesis 22:1-15

It attracted God's generational blessing.

It made God swear.

Genesis 22:16-18

Your godly intentions can get you blessed.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
