Realities and Truth

  CHANGING THE NORM 2 The daughters of Zelophehad went to Moses in Numbers 27 to ask for their possession even though it wasn’t the custom in Israel to will anything to daughters since their father had no son. That age long tradition could have stopped them as it had stopped some other women in times past. These ladies knew what was ahead but they were determined to take a chance. Those who don’t take a chance don’t get ahead. Are you ready and willing to take a chance in this new year? Moses took it to God and God said the daughters of Zelophehad spoke right and should surely be given their possession. And because they dared made that move, it became a law in Israel that if a man dies and has no sin, his inheritance should pass to his daughter. It’s your turn to make history. What if they didn’t ask? Is any what if coming to your mind now? Are you inspired by the story of these ladies to go after what life is depriving you of, what you are entitled to or what is not usually the norm?

CHANGING THE NORM (1) Genesis 26:12 KJV [12] Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. At the beginning of the year, people make new year resolutions. Things they want to start doing or improve on, new territories they want to conquer and so on. Quite a number of people don’t follow through on this plan. They forget the book where it is written. Here we are in the first month of the year. Let it register in your heart that anything is achievable. If you can conceive it, you can achieve it. Make this year an improvement on other years. Be ready to do more this year because you will have more this year. Isaac sowed in a time of famine, when people will naturally hold back and he got a pleasant surprise. Be determined to make a difference. Be guided by the Holy Spirit. Be ready to increase your knowledge in various things including being technologically inclined because we are in the Information Age. It’s no longer business as u

OBEDIENCE  Job 36:11 KJV [11] If they obey and serve him , they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.  Walking with God and staying relevant in the Kingdom of God is a function of Obedience.  Obedience means compliance with an order, request or law, or submission to another's authority.  It is adhering strictly to instructions with a perfect heart. If we must have the privilege of being used by God to affect other lives, if His Word must flow unhindered through us, we must come to Him at His own terms not ours. The Kingdom of God is about following fully as Caleb did and it has a reward attached to it. Numbers 14:24 KJV [24] But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. You can't walk with God without absolute obedience. No parent likes to be disobeyed by their children because it incurs wrath. Prophet Samuel told King Saul t

YEAR OF PLENTY, TAKING NEW TERRITORIES  Joel 2:26 KJV [26] And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. Welcome to year 2021, our year of Plenty, taking New Territories. This is a very promising year but not without it’s own challenges. We must be ready to make the most of it. Let us begin the year by challenging ourselves to do more and also do things differently. Most times we ask God to do things for us. Can we choose to do things for God more than we have ever done? When a farmer wants plenty harvest, he sows more seed. What are you willing to give or do for plenty this year? God gave us His only begotten Son and He’s reaping a harvest of souls consistently. This is the year of investment. Investing time, money and efforts will yield great dividends this year. Get ready to enter new territories and take over. God is very territorial. That’s why He put us here to occ
