Things are going to work differently

Even though the Lord is stirring us up to awake, to rise and take the land. He also desires that we do it from a place of resting in him. Our destinies are already accomplished, the work finished.

As our hearts rest daily in his love and grace, we are accomplishing in this period more than we would have done in years.

I have learned through the word of God and by experience that promotion comes from God and God alone. There is no help in man. Help is an attribute of God as the judge of all the earth.

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? Genesis 18:25

Observe carefully the above verse, it does not say he is the judge of Christians but the Judge of ALL the earth. Every issue in life must pass through the Throne Room of God. It is his decree that is exhibited in the earth

Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? Lamentations 3:27

Reality is a product of God’s decrees. I am aware that many argue this kind of scriptures out of the way in other to water down the sovereignty of God, but the word of God has no revolutions. It does not change. We only grow up into the revelation of the word.

But let us stay with today’s emphasis, Yes, promotion can only come when the king decrees;

Many seek the ruler’s favor; but every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD. Proverbs 29:26

In other words many look up to man for help, they do things to appease humanity. Even in the vineyard of the LORD many do things with hearts focusing on man for rewards rather than the ultimate rewarder.

Observe the above verse carefully, it does not say the Christians’ judgment or the unbelievers’ judgment. God decides every man’s favor. No matter how hard we work, no matter how much we serve, even in the LORD’s vineyard, only the judge of all the earth decides when and how to favor us.

Do not be deceived, look up to heaven and heaven alone, for;

……A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. John 3:27

Do not be bitter when you have not received, the judge of all the earth has not commanded your reality in that case yet. wait and keep waiting, Your God will favor you.

I have served at different levels and still serving in God’s vineyard but I have found out one thing about man, man loves to idolize himself. The reason man preaches self is to draw men after himself. Man loves to take the glory of God. But all of this is an illusion. There is no reality in man, only God lifts up. Only God promotes;

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. Psalm 75:6-7

 Look up to God dear beloved, it will not come from man. It is coming, but it must come from the throne of grace. Never look to the earth but look above, let your heart say;

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2

 In an encounter with the LORD, I heard him say “Things are going to work differently as you touch them”

 The spirit witnessed ;

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. Psalm 1:3

Now is The Day of Your Double Blessing

Things are getting excited in the spirit. Hearts are beginning to feel normal even in the face of the chaos. The energy of God from within is pushing off the weights.

There is a lot God has done for us, yes his benefits are enormous but there is a place for greater benefits. There is a foundation God has laid all his goodness upon and it his desire that this foundation be revealed in us. When revealed in us the fullness of God flourishes our lives exceeding all our imaginations.

God is doing exceeding and abundantly above all we can ask or think but there is a ground that is first established. And what is this ground

The Apostle Paul knew it; he prayed and explained it to the Church at Ephesus;

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Ephesians 3:16

Yes, it begins with the Spirit energizing us from within by the power of God. But there is a reason for this energizing. There is a reason for this strength which is;

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge…. Ephesians 3:16

Yes, then Christ dwells in our hearts by faith. Here the reality of who he is to us is accepted and unity to our hearts by faith. This is the peak of it. We are here rooted and grounded in love, we dive into the ocean of God’s love so that we may know the limits.

As we begin to pursue the understanding of this love, we keep on going, never knowing it is beyond comprehension. As we become swallowed up in the love and in the pursuit of knowing more of this love, we do not realize that we are actually being filled with the fullness of God.

….that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Ephesians 3:16

So our knowledge of God’s love is what ushers in the fullness of God. Not the knowledge of a church doctrine, not the knowledge of my sin, not the knowledge of my potentials but the knowledge of the Love of God leads to the fullness of God manifesting in our lives.

When we have come to this revelation, we are told;

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Ephesians 3:18

The Now doesn’t just come, there is a process that leads up to the now. Then the end of the verse reminds us of the ground on which he does exceeding abundantly.

It says according to the power at work in us. Every believer has the power of God on the inside but until the power produces the revelation of the love of God in us there is no ground for the “now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.”

This is why Apostle Paul on his knees was in prayer for the church at Ephesus.

I pray the Spirit of God energizes us from our inner man daily, that we may grow in the knowledge of the Love of God, that the fullness of God be made manifest in our lives.

In an encounter with the LORD, around 2:25Am, I saw the LORD lay hands on two people who desperately needed help from him. He laid hands on them and proclaimed the same blessing saying; “What I AM Doing with you this year, People will write about it”

Coming out the Holy Spirit led me to;

For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. Isaiah 61:7

And again;

And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed. Isaiah 61:9

Then the LORD said, “In my glory there is no shame. I have placed my joy in your heart and it is springing forth.

For every weakness and even for every wrong decision you have made, My power is resting on you and now your darkness is light unto me. Now is the day of your double blessing.

Do not live in despair, you are marked for glory. My blessings will announce you. Kings will tell of my goodness upon you. Rejoice and possess the double.

Blessings in Christ,

I AM Changing Things
There is a freedom that is coming through as we are facing the fears. The giants are now shrinking. The only way to overcome fear is to face fear and that’s what many are doing right now.

There is something that looks general on the outside but it is one of the greatest keys to a prosperous life in Christ Jesus, which is to understand the secret of his presence.

There is a mystery about dwelling in this presence. I am aware of Christ in me the hope of glory, I am also fully aware of if a man be in Christ he is a new creation.

All these I glean, in to keep my heart steady on who I am in Christ. But I do not forget the scripture that says;

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16

If I am given the privilege to come to the throne boldly, why ever leave? This is the place of authority, the home of grace and mercy. This is the place where the judge of all the earth makes decrees.

How can I be struck right before his presence. Why stand afar? May I always live and plead my case before the throne.

Brother, may the LORD open your heart to see that there is a coming. Once a man has found the secret of this place, no desire can match. This was the greatest secret of David.

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4

Yes, faith says we believe that he is, but we must also believe that he rewards them that diligently seek him.

This David found but he also knew there are rewards. Nevertheless all the rewards are not found outside but in the presence. May I be as selfish as David, to dwell in his presence all the days of my life;

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. Psalm 27:5-6

The secret is not outside the tabernacle but in inside the tabernacle.

May I not be as Saul who neglected this and his enemies bowed his head. May I be like David who found out the secret from observing Obededom, the Gittite.

And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household. And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness. 2Samuel 6:11

The ark, a type of the throne room, the place of the mercy seat. Here the cherubs cover me. Here my weakness is swallowed up by the grace of he who seats on the throne.

This is the place of victory. This is the heart of God. This is the secret of David.

In an encounter with the LORD, I saw a person who had a business but there were no returns coming to him from the people managing the business for him.

Then I saw the LORD appear and they were walking together as he was relating his issues to the LORD. I heard him confirm the promises given to him by the Lord as the LORD listened.

Then the LORD SAID, “I AM changing things”

I AM Planting Them in Strategic Places
There is the fire of God burning upon the hearts of his people as we continue to wait on him. It is breaking bondages, fears are beginning to have no foothold. Many heavy hearts are feeling light right now. The anointing is taking off the yokes.

The grace of God is just unmatchable. What qualifies me to be saved is my sin. What qualifies me for God’s riches is my poverty. My sickness is what qualifies me for the healing power of God. The great physician came for a wretch like me.

Oh I dare not look away from my saviour for even today there is no good thing in my flesh. My God my hope, My God my righteousness.

Oh this I have come to know, that I bring nothing to the table, of myself I am sufficient of nothing. All I do daily is sinful, for there is a law in my members warring against the mind of the spirit in me. I love the Lord, I wish words could say how much my mind loves him, but evil is present with me when I would do good.

I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Romans 7:21-23

I am a wretch, I know I am wretch. I am truly a wretch. My heart convinces me all the time. I need a saviour every second, I need a saviour every minute, every hour, everyday. Oh I need a saviour;

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Romans 7:24

Oh I know of one, he is merciful, he is gracious, and he is compassionate. Only the one whose nature is love can help a man like me. Only the one whose nature changes NOT can stand a filth like me.
My heart knows him. I have heard and seen his compassion. I will run to him every second. I will run to him every moment of my breath. Thank God for my gentle saviour.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 7:25

Oh he is my Victory. The Lamb of God is my victory. I will go to him with my heart. With my mind will I go to him bearing my sin in my flesh. He will not abandon me. He will not accuse me, for he knows I am but flesh. He will look upon me with compassion and cleanse me. Oh I hear him beckoning unto me;

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18

Oh the all sufficient one beckons unto me. I have come my LORD, my sins you wash. I will always have to come to you LORD. Even now, here am I. Your Holy Spirit has led me to you My LORD. Here is my hope;

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2

Oh I am free, the unstoppable law of life, the higher law of the Spirit of life has set me free. O thou law of sin, I have found a higher law, far above you. O death, where is your sting? I have overcome you by the life of Jesus. Rejoice my soul, at last! I am free.

In an encounter with the LORD, I saw a prodigal, I saw him return from a mere profession of Christianity to a vehement faith in the LORD. I saw the LORD’s fire in him so overwhelming. He had a zeal burning within him to take the gospel even to a local place that was dangerous, a place where others were running away from.

Coming out the Holy Spirit led me to;

And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.Luke15:17-19

And again;

And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God. Amos 9:14-15

Then the Lord said; “Zion, I have set your sons free from the bondage of sin, Satan and the Law.

Your sons are returning, they are now being delivered into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

This ones come with the very fire of my heart. I am planting them in strategic places for the rebuilding of my kingdom.

Weep not for the prodigals, their love for me will amaze you. My grace has much more abounded upon them.

These ones have lost their crowns and have learned that I am their crown.

Look up! They are here, they come and will no longer go out, for I have placed them on the unshakable foundation.”

I Have Made You a Water Walker

There is a strong heat right now, the reason for this heat is to subdue many that have begun to follow after the urgings of the Spirit in the fulfillment of their destinies. Look beyond the heat, follow through no matter the resistance, God is showing up for you.

Everything begins with the word. God makes the promises, reveals them to us most times just by godly desires filled with peace. Sometimes by prophecies and other times his will is communicated to us as we study the word, scriptures are illuminated by the Holy Spirit to give us direction.

But all are seeds and the seed is the target of the enemy. A godly dream, a godly vision, a godly desire, a godly plan, all these are seeds and they are the target of the enemy.

… for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. Mathew 13:32

Observe carefully the reason for tribulation, it comes for the word. That godly seed is the target of the enemy and not you directly.
But there is something peculiar about this verse that is worthy of notice, a lot of us view tribulation as something that must be material or a physical attack. But the word used above for tribulation is from the Greek word thilipsis which means pressure (Strong’s Concordance G2346).

As you embark on your God given dream, vision, purpose, all what the enemy does from the outside is targeted at putting pressure upon your heart for you to let go. The delay, the rejection, the mockery, the disappointments, all these are brought upon you to make you depressed so you can let go.

One difficult trick in this pressure move of the enemy is, when you begin to move in what you believe God wants you to accomplish, that moment you begin, he will come to you like he came to Jesus;

Do you really think this thing you are doing is God inspired?
If it’s God’s will, why doesn’t he give his angels charge to help you at this moment of difficulty?

All these are pressures aiming at the vision. God will never abandon you for attempting to fulfill his purpose. Even if you go on without accurately understanding the timing and fail, you have fallen forward, you will gain experience at the end.

Look at what the word says when you have begun and are tempted to pull back;

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10: 38

There is no armour for our backs. The entire armory mentioned in the sixth chapter of Ephesians has nothing to offer for our backs.
Yes, do it afraid as long as you still have that godly desire on your inside, keep pursuing. Slide against the current for we a different breed;

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. Hebrews 10:39

God is faithful, he comes to fulfill his word despite your fear. Hold fast at this moment regardless of the pressure.

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrews 10:23

In an encounter with the word during a time of meditation, the Holy Spirit spoke through this scripture for many right now;

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. Mathew 14:29-30

The LORD Said; “Believe in the simplicity of my word. It carries within it the fullness of power to fulfill all my counsel.

Do not be afraid, where I bid I provide. I have made provision for every desire I have put on the inside of you.

My Power, Grace, Mercy, all I AM I have reserved for you.

Set your eyes on me, disregard the wind for I have made you a water walker.”
