Presence begets Present

"For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He goes on living by the power of God. And though we too are weak in Him [as He was humanly weak], yet in dealing with you [we shall show ourselves] alive and strong in [fellowship with] Him by the power of God" 2 Corinthians 13:4 AMP italics and emphasis mine

Don't tell me what I can't do, tell me what I can do; don't show me what I cannot have, show me what I can have. Don't dwell on my failings and weaknesses, help me to see my success and my strength. I may learn from my failures, but I build with and from my strength.

Get out from the presence of those who major in your minor; they that insist on dwelling in your failures, mistakes, what you can't do or have. They DO NOT belong in your PRESENCE. Also, avoid like plague those the flatters – they have hidden agenda and it is not to your good.

Pick your Battles!

“ And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? . . . And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? . . . And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause? ” 1 Sam 17:26, 28a, 29 KJV italics and emphasis mine

Nobody asked David to fight Goliath, not even God; but he made a conscious conscience decision having asked himself a number of CRITICAL questions. The second you raise from your bed in the morning to the time you return to it later at night, you will be presented with hundreds of challenges to fight. But not every battle is yours to fight, pick your battles...there those to fight, others to walkaway and others to ignore.

How do you decide which battle is yours to fight? Here is my contribution to your insight:

1.       What do you|loved ones LOSE if you DO|DON'T fight? – think Kingdom,  Destiny, Call, Assignment

2.       What do you|loved ones GAIN if you DO|DON'T fight? – think Reward, investment, Protection, Provide

3.       Do you have the PEACE of God in you to stand and fight at this time and place?

Stand-Out to Stand-up!

"…Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God's promises because of THEIR faith and endurance…" Hebrews 6:12 NLT italics and emphasis mine

"why can't you be like your sister|brother…" and the story lives on, we learn from early on to copy, mimic and be like the successful ones. Thus, we copy exam – answers from those who are usually performing better than us. When we come out of school | college and life hit us on the face, we do exactly the same…COPY from successful others!

By all means learn from the successful people – the principles behind what they do, the rationale and understanding of their actions but good gracious don't be a copycat. You may be going through the same exams, but life gives us different questions. No wonder you fail while you copied from someone who has passed…be you, be original!

Have we Missed God?

"…But the Pharisees and the Teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”  Jesus answered them, It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick…" Luke 5:30-31 NIV italics and emphasis mine

The religious people during Jesus' time missed God appointment because they were hung-up with what God had said and missed what God was saying. They were busy with what they had constructed from what God had said and would not even think that God would speak outside their contraption.

I look at the organized religion today including the so-called born-again-ism and I cannot help but wonder 'have we missed God?' We sing and say Jesus is "the answer" for the world today, but our own world is full of questions he has not answered or we have not let him answer?

The Multiple Choice Questions!

"…It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a thing…" Proverbs 25:2 AMP italics and emphasis mine

When I was a student, we loved multiple choices questions' exams and hated open-ended questions. The reason for me was because I get reminded of the answers and I do not have to think (remember) for myself. The problem was (and is) every choice is so close to the correct answer you can easily get confused.

I want to challenge the non-thinkers amongst us with the following multiple choice question (think then respond):
{[[]]}. When was the last time you responded to life's challenge with an answer not provided by your friends, relatives, past experience or coming from a place of fear and disbelief? When was the last time you had a creative, original and inspired answer [thought] from within?
A: Today                                         E: I Don't Know
B: Yesterday                                   F: I Don't Care
C: Last Month                                 G: It Doesn't Matter
D: Last Year                                   H: E, F and G correct

I can Predict your Future

"…Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful…" Joshua 1:8 NIV italics and emphasis mine

You don't need to be a mechanic to know petrol engines don't do diesel, if you saw a driver pumping petrol in a diesel truck you will begin to prophesy of his truck's future immediately. Likewise our mind needs the right gas to run right, show me what you pump in your mind and I can predict clearly of your future!!!

We manifest what we constantly and consistently think (ponder, meditate, deliberate) about. If you want abundance – then think, speak of and act as a person manifesting abundance. Likewise healing, peace, health, wealth, love…you must pump these in your mind then think, say and act accordingly.

Opium of the People

"…Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust…" Matthew 5:43-45 AKJV

In the name of religion many untold harm has been done to humanity…we have killed unborn children, punish the innocent, freed the guilty, outcast those who don't agree with us. We are drugged with religion, congregate every Sunday to get our ''fix'' then stagger out deluded of life reality and our mission on earth.

If we can put our religion on the side for a minute and realize that we are called to REpresent God to people and God IS LOVE and God's love is unconditional – He loves both the good and evil. The best way to rePresent God to people is by being the unconditional 'LOVE' that people are desperately seeking.

Lifted Hands - Lifted Christ

 "…Joshua did what Moses ordered in order to fight Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went to the top of the hill. It turned out that whenever Moses raised his hands, Israel was winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, Amalek was winning…" Exo 17:11 MSG italics and emphasis mine

Lifted hands in many places is a sign of surrender; it shows that you have no trick under the sleeves and are placing your life in the hands of the captor. However, lifted hands also means you are not carrying anything and are willing to listen, hear and obey the marching orders.

As long as Moses lifted hands Israel won, else they lost. Lifted hands also reminds God of Calvary – His son crucified with lifted hands. Perhaps it is time you lifted your hands unto the Lord in surrender and remind him of the cross. Listen, hear and obey His instructions diligently.

3-2-1 Ratio!

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and WHATSOEVER HE DOETH SHALL PROSPER." Psalms 1:1-3 KJV italics and emphasis mine

For every NEGATIVE (bad, damaging, destructive) EXPERIENCE (word, deed), it will take at least 3 EXPERIENCES to bring one to a POSITIVE state*. For some reason the bad experiences are burnt deeper and remembered easier than the good ones. Losing a $100 pains deeper than the joy of picking $100 on the pavement.

For every lie told, it takes at least 3 truths to be trusted again. For every unbelief statement you hear, it will take at least 3 truths to restore your faith. My point is, ONE: Be careful what & who you listen, TWO: Meditate and affirm the TRUTHs to yourself DAILY, THREE: Think before you pass on a lie, fear or negative comment to someone.

*Based on Losada Ratio – authenticity and validity of the research unproven!

SKELETONs in our CLOSETs

“He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!” Ezekiel 37:2-4 NIV italics and emphasis mine

When we hear the word 'Prophesy' we immediately think of things that HAVE to happen in the future that God reveals to us today. But there is another meaning to Prophesy, it is SPEAKing what WE DESIRE to happen. Words are the second order CREATION, preceded by Thoughts and proceeded by Action…when we SPEAK we CREATE.

Ezekiel was saying, it is only you God who can tell if these bones will live. God turns and say, ooh no, YOU can decide right now by TALKing to THE BONES. Do you have skeletons in your Closet?…it is up to you what happens next…SPEAK to your bones and TELL them come together to form a structure you DESIRE to see!!!

a Realistic God

"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me?" Jeremiah 32:27 AMP italics and emphasis mine

"This is unrealistic, we can't expect God to answer this, really" retorted angry church elder in a church leaders' meeting. His argument was, we were wasting time petitioning God for something that was not realistic. It was unrealistic for a handful of economic refugees in a foreign land to expect God to grant their petition to own a chunk of land.

The term "unrealistic" is subjective (based on individual view | perception) usually refers to something 'not sensible', 'improbable' and 'idealistic'. I can see why God prepared Moses for 40 years then used Moses to prepare Israelites for THEIR Promised Land for 40. God was ready to do the unrealistic but Israel was not until 80 years later...

Open Door Policy

"No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others. And God is faithful: He will not let you be tried beyond what you are able to bear, but with the trial will also provide a way out so that you may be able to endure it" I Cor 10:13 NET italics and emphasis mine

I have been learning so keenly how to recognize opened doors in my life for me to realize my potential. Where there is a DOOR, there is a WALL, where there is a wall there is a ROOM. Every time you encounter a wall – hindrance, obstacles, setbacks – somewhere along the wall, hidden in plain sight, is a DOOR.

To find the door, you need to look at the wall with a different EYE– talk to your SOUL (and mean it) saying "along these walls of setbacks, obstacles and no's is a door for me and these walls are meant to enclose, secure and keep inside what is meant for me. Lord, thank you for opening my eyes to see the door set only for me"

Mungu si Athumani

"God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good?" Numbers 23:19 AMP italics and emphasis mine

Swahili idiom goes "He who gave you, denied me" implying that God will give one and deny another...but Mungu si Athumani. We project our understanding of God from our understanding of man; thus we run FROM God instead of TO God when we erred and get into trouble, for this is what we would do IF God was man.

We think God has favourites, those who DO [always] what He asks; we feel lowly and depressed for we always fail and wrong Him. But the prodigal son and the lost sheep parables (Luke 15) and John 3:16 paint a different story. God's LOVE is beyond human comprehension – we simply have to yield and receive it in spite of ourselves.

Prosperity by Covenant

"…If you start thinking to yourselves, “I did all this. And all by myself. I’m rich. It’s all mine!”—well, think again. Remember that God, your God, gave you the strength to produce all this wealth so as to confirm the covenant that he promised to your ancestors—as it is today…" Deut 8:17-18 MSG italics and emphasis mine

If you want folks to switch off | sign out, start talking about financial prosperity. Many would say it is unnecessary focus, waste of precious time for meditation and prayers. Yet the same folks would work 50hrs a week, bargain and scramble for a few cents in shops…Do I blame and judge them . . . not entirely!

For one, Prosperity Gospel has been abused so much so that it has rendered many defensive. The name itself "Prosperity Gospel" is misleading…remove 'Prosperity' from the Gospel and there is no Gospel [Read Isa 61]. God does not give us wealth, He gives us Power – enablement, ability – to get wealth.

Believers Creative Power!

"Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you" Luke 10:19 AMP italics and emphasis mine

It is easier to believe all knowing powerful God is in charge; this alleviates us the burden, responsibility and accountability of the REALITY we have CREATED. We hide behind "let YOUR WILL be done" and ALLOW the negative creative powers to take charge...then wonder WHY we in trouble!

We express our AUTHORITY and exercise our POWERS by aligning what we THINK, SAY and DO (Creative Power Sequence). Your MIND is a battle ground for FROM whence we THINK thus SAY and DO and consequently create our reality…both good and bad; it is your CHOICE to DECIDE what you experience!

Is your Bush Burning?

“…the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush…”© Exodus 3:2-5, NIV italics and emphasis mine

Moses was a flock-herder in the wilderness; he knew and depended on the bush for his and the livestock livelihood. Then God appeared in a fire, burning but not consuming the bush – He got Moses attention – THEN and only then, did GOD SPEAK instructions for the shift.

Is your bush – where you depend on livelihood – burning? Perhaps God is seeking your attention, perhaps you have made the bush your God, may be it is time for a shift in who and what you are taking care of – the business…PAY attention, listen for instructions for your livelihood and those whom you are sent depends on your understanding of the instructions.

We SEE, Therefore we BUILD!

"But the others said, “We can’t attack those people; they’re way stronger than we are.” They spread scary rumors among the People of Israel. They said, “We scouted out the land from one end to the other—it’s a land that swallows people whole. Everybody we saw was huge. Why, we even saw the Nephilim giants (the Anak giants come from the Nephilim). Alongside them we felt like grasshoppers. And they looked down on us as if we were grasshoppers" Numbers 13:31-33 MSG italics and emphasis mine

We build our lives [make choices | decisions | accept | reject things at sub-conscious level] based on image we have of ourselves (what we believe the world sees in and about us). If you often ask yourself, ''why did I do that?" the answer is, most probably, because we sabotage everything that doesn't correspond to the image we have.

How did I get this image? 1.What you hear about you from trusted individuals, 2.Built in from life experience and 3.Reflection from your environment.

How do I change this image? One: Talk to you of God's WORD of the image you choose and eliminate those who try to talk you out of this image. Two: Learn from your experiences, but choose not to be limited by them, Three: Choose the environment that is conducive to the image you desire – change friends, business, countries if you have to.

SMOKE Screen

"that we may not be over-reached by the adversary, for of his devices we are not ignorant" 2 Corinthians 2:11 YLT, italics and emphasis mine

A smoke screen is released intentionally to hide the movement or location of military units from the enemy. Think of something that you have ALWAYS wanted to do but have not. NOW think of what you think is stopping…now WRITE DOWN what is stopping you and indulge me please by READing it ALOUD.

How does it SOUND to you after you hear it? TRUST ME, it is a SMOKE SCREEN aimed to stop you from seeing that you can actually do ANYTHING you put your mind and belief to do. Move from the smoke screen and START DOING regardless of how you feel, what you see physically and who supports you.
