Discipline your Talent

 

Discipline your Talent!

Talent may give someone a head start, but discipline determines how far they go.

I have seen incredibly talented people plateau because they relied on their natural abilities, while others with average abilities surpassed them through consistency and hard work.

Humility is what keeps us learning, and learning is what keeps us growing. In the end, greatness is built daily, not inherited. There is an arrogance that sometimes comes with talent.

When something comes easily, it is easy to assume it always will. You discover something you're naturally good at, people recognise it, success arrives early, and before long ability begins to replace effort.

That is why passion, by itself, rarely explains exceptional achievement. Talent may open the first door. Discipline is what keeps opening the rest.

Sports offers countless examples. Every generation produces players whose ability seems almost unfair, yet many finish their careers wondering what might have been. Their talent was never the question. Their relationship with effort was.

The players who endure usually share a different mindset. They never assume they are special. They behave as though improvement is their responsibility every day. Over time, discipline compounds while talent becomes the baseline everyone eventually catches.

Which is why I have come to believe there is something liberating about recognising that you are ordinary, because it leaves you with no choice but to become exceptional through your actions.

Many of the people we eventually describe as extraordinary began there. They understood that greatness was never an identity to inherit. It was something to build, one decision, one habit, and one standard at a time.

Talent may determine where you start, but discipline often determines how far you go. I've found that sustained excellence is rarely the result of extraordinary ability alone.

It is the product of consistently choosing to learn, improve, and execute long after the initial advantages have faded. In the long run, habits tend to outperform gifts because they compound every single day.

Talent may create opportunity, but discipline is what builds credibility. Over time, people stop remembering who had the greatest potential and start trusting those who consistently deliver. In leadership, sustained performance is what ultimately earns influence.

The graveyard of wasted potential is full of talented people who stopped when the applause started. Discipline is not what you do when talent is enough. It is what you do when you understand that talent is never enough. Because everyone eventually catches up to your gift. The only thing they cannot catch up to is how much more work you put in after they arrived at your level.

Talent may open the door, but discipline determines how far we go. Consistent effort turns natural ability into lasting excellence.

Power For the Next Level

 

Power means “ability or opportunity to do something”. 

“Now Joshua was old, advanced in years. And the LORD said to him: ‘You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed” (Joshua 13:1).

God said to the children of Israel at Horeb, “You have dwelt long enough at this mountain” (Deuteronomy 1:6). Like Israel, many of us have dwelt long on where we are now. It is high time we moved on to the next level.

You don’t move to the next level of life until you have possessed the territory where you are now for God. The power to dominate one level or another comes from God. From Genesis 1:26-28, we realise that God has given us power and dominion. When we understand our kingdom mandate or authority, then we can move by faith to possess where we are and then proceed to the next level. Our prayer must be for renewed power and strength to possess where we are now, before we can move to the next level.

WHAT IS THE NEXT LEVEL?

Where is the next level? What does the next level represent? The next level may mean a higher level of calling God has for you. The next level is a higher responsibility from God. For Joshua, the next level represented the unconquered territories meant for the remaining nine and half of the tribes of Israel. (Joshua 13:1,2). Two and half tribes had got their land East of the Jordan, but the rest tribes were yet to get their own land West of the Jordan. The remaining land were to be possessed by conquest. To move to the next level, we must be ready to fight for our allotments and inheritance.

THE KEY TO THE NEXT LEVEL IS FAITH

You can only get to the next level by faith. Caleb moved to the next level of his life by faith. In Joshua 14:6-11, it does appear that Caleb was at one level for 45 years. But in verse 12, he was now ready to move to the next level. Then, he said to Joshua, “give me this mountain…” He proceeded to conquer and possess Hebron. The next level is already beckoning at us. All we need to do is move by faith to possess the next level God has for us. You already have the power for the next level in you. The Angel of God said to Gideon, “go in this might of yours.”

THE REMAINING SEVEN TRIBES

When we get to Joshua 18, seven tribes are still to be assigned with territories. In this chapter, Joshua reprimands the remaining tribes for not taking steps to possess their allotments. He then gives them with clear instructions on steps they should take to move to the next level.

In addition to faith, to move to the next level also requires strategy. Moses gave the children of Israel a strategy with which to possess the unconquered land. “Pick out from among you three men for each tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it  according to their inheritance, and come back to me…You shall therefore survey the land in seven parts and bring the survey here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God” (Joshua 18:4-6).

THE NEXT LEVEL FOR THE CHURCH

For the Church, the next level represents the unconquered areas of the Seven Mountains of our society. Each one of us may be in one of these mountains. The mountains or spheres are:

Education, Politics and Governance, Economy, Business and Commerce

Media, Arts, Entertainment, Religion, Family.

We can start by possessing and influencing our own spheres of influence for God. From there we can proceed to the next level.

Dealing with Satanic Arrows

 

Dealing with Satanic Arrows

In the realm of spiritual warfare, the concept of “evil arrows” is both biblical and relevant to our walk with God today. Evil arrows are one of the enemy’s devices, and we must not be ignorant of the enemy’s devices. Understanding the nature of these spiritual arrows, their origins, and how to counteract them is crucial for living a victorious Christian life.

What Are Evil Arrows?

Evil arrows are not physical projectiles but spiritual attacks aimed at our minds, bodies, and spirits. These arrows can manifest as sudden sickness, unexplained fears, financial turmoil, relational discord, or any number of destructive events that seem to strike out of nowhere. They are targeted assignments from the enemy meant to derail us from our divine destiny, sow doubt, and diminish our faith.

Psalm 91:5-6 warns us, “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.” This scripture clearly identifies the arrows that fly by day—spiritual assaults that come at us when we least expect it.

Where Do Evil Arrows Come From?

Evil arrows originate from the kingdom of darkness, the domain of Satan and his demonic forces. The enemy, knowing he is already defeated by the blood of Jesus, still seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).

These spiritual attacks can be launched through various means:

-Curses and Hexes: Spoken words, often by those dabbling in witchcraft or occult practices, can become spiritual arrows aimed at believers.

Negative Words and Criticisms: Words carry power. Negative declarations, gossip, or criticisms spoken against us can open doors for these spiritual attacks.

-Fear and Doubt: The enemy capitalizes on our fears and doubts, using them as entry points for his arrows. If we allow fear to take root, it becomes a launching pad for further attacks.

- Sin and Disobedience: Persistent sin or disobedience in our lives can give the enemy legal ground to attack. It’s crucial to stay aligned with God’s will and repent quickly when we miss the mark.

How to Stop Evil Arrows

The good news is that we are not defenseless against these spiritual attacks. God has equipped us with mighty weapons to stand firm and extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one (Ephesians 6:16). Here are key strategies to stop evil arrows:

Put on the Full Armour of God: Ephesians 6:10-18 outlines the spiritual armor we need. The shield of faith is specifically mentioned as the means to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Daily, we must gird ourselves with truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God.

Pray Without Ceasing: Prayer is a powerful weapon against spiritual attacks. Be vigilant in prayer, covering yourself, your family, and your circumstances with the blood of Jesus. Declare God’s promises over your life and stand in faith.

Use the Word of God: Jesus Himself used the Word to counter Satan’s temptations (Matthew 4:1-11). Speak scriptures out loud that affirm God’s protection, provision, and promises. The Word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).

Walk in Holiness and Repentance: Keep short accounts with God. When we walk in holiness and quickly repent of any sins, we close doors the enemy might use to attack. Confess your sins and receive God’s forgiveness, standing in His righteousness.

Stay in Fellowship: Isolation makes us more vulnerable to attack. Stay connected with other believers who can stand with you in prayer, offer support, and provide godly counsel.

Worship and Praise: Worship shifts our focus from the problem to the Problem Solver. It creates an atmosphere where the enemy cannot stand. Praise confounds the plans of the enemy and brings us into alignment with God’s presence and power.

While the enemy may send evil arrows our way, we have divine strategies and spiritual weapons to not only withstand these attacks but to thrive in the midst of them. Stay vigilant, stay prayerful, and stay rooted in the Word of God. Remember, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37).

David prayed in Psalm 144:6: “Flash forth lightning and scatter them; shoot out Your arrows and destroy them” (NKJV).

If you don’t shoot God’s arrows, the enemies will shoot their arrows. “Put yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the LORD” (Jeremiah 50:14 NKJV).

If you don’t get the enemy; the enemy will get you! Shoot down the enemy and his arrows will fall off his hands just like Ezekiel 39:3 says. “Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand” (NKJV).

Conclusion: Shoot the arrows of God by your prayers, decrees, and declarations, and let the enemy fall like David slang the stone and Goliath fell on his face to the earth (1 Samuel 17:49). You won’t be a victim of the enemy’s evil arrows in Jesus’ name. The deadly arrows of God will destroy the enemy operating in darkness in their hiding places. Begin to shoot the arrows of God!

TAKE ACTION!

Times and Seasons

 

Times and Seasons

There’s a rhythm to life that heaven sets in motion - a divine calendar that moves not by clocks or calendars, but by seasons of the Spirit.

Just as the earth shifts from winter to spring, summer to autumn, so does God lead us through spiritual seasons - each with its own lessons, timing, and purpose.

Recognizing these seasons doesn’t just help us understand what God is doing - it helps us flow with Him instead of fighting Him.

1. The Chronos Season - Time of Preparation

The Greek word chronos simply means chronological or measured time - the regular, everyday flow of life.

This is the season of faithfulness in the ordinary - where nothing seems dramatic, but everything is forming.

It’s where you build roots, discipline, and patience.

David had his chronos years tending sheep before becoming king. Joseph had his chronos in Potiphar’s house and prison.

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time (kairos), we will reap if we do not give up.” -  Galatians 6:9

Chronos prepares you for what’s coming next. Stay faithful. What feels like delay is often divine development.

2. The Kairos Season -  God’s Appointed Time

Kairos is different. It means a divinely orchestrated, opportune moment - when God’s timing meets your preparation.

It’s when long-prayed prayers align with heaven’s calendar and doors begin to open.

Esther’s moment before the king was a kairos -  “for such a time as this.”

Jesus began His ministry declaring, “The time (kairos) has come. The kingdom of God is near.” (Mark 1:15).

Kairos moments don’t come every day -  and when they do, they demand faith, courage, and obedience.

3. The Epoch Season - The Beginning of a New Era

An epoch (pronounced EE-pok) is more than a moment -  it’s a divine turning point, when God shifts you into a new chapter entirely.

It’s when the old season no longer fits, and God says, “Behold, I am doing a new thing.” (Isaiah 43:19).

It can feel disruptive -  but it’s often the very thing that births your next dimension.

The resurrection of Jesus was an epoch shift - a new covenant, a new age of grace, a new reality for humanity.

If you sense transition, change, and stretching - don’t resist it. You might just be standing in your epoch season.

4. The Wilderness Season -  A Time of Testing and Refining

Before every great assignment comes a season of pruning. The wilderness isn’t punishment; it’s preparation.

Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness - not by the devil -  to be tested and strengthened. Israel spent 40 years there before the Promised Land.

The wilderness teaches dependence.

It empties you of self so God can fill you with purpose.

If you’re in one now -  don’t despise it. The wilderness is where God purifies motives and forges strength that glory will later require.

5. The Birthing Season -  Bringing Forth the Promise

Every seed of destiny eventually comes to labor.

It’s a season of travail - of pressure, contractions, and spiritual warfare -  but also of imminent manifestation.

Hannah cried in anguish, and Samuel was born. Sarah laughed, and Isaac arrived. Mary said yes, and the Savior came forth.

“Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” says the Lord. - Isaiah 66:9

When you feel the pressure increasing, don’t give up -  something divine is about to be born.

6. The Waiting Season -  When God Seems Silent

Every believer walks through this -  a time when prayers linger unanswered and heaven feels quiet.

But silence isn’t absence; it’s strategy.

In the waiting, God builds trust and matures faith. David was anointed long before he was crowned. Abraham waited years before holding Isaac.

“Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” - Isaiah 40:31

Waiting seasons aren’t wasted; they’re where endurance grows roots.

7. The Harvest and Due Season - Reaping What Was Sown

After plowing, sowing, and waiting comes reaping.

This is the season of visible fruitfulness -  when obedience pays off, prayers are answered, and promises manifest.

“At the proper time we will reap, if we do not give up.” - Galatians 6:9

But remember: harvest requires stewardship. Don’t abandon the field when it’s time to gather.

8. The Rest Season - Renewal and Restoration

God also gives seasons of rest -  moments to breathe, heal, and regain strength.

Even Jesus withdrew from the crowds to pray. Elijah, weary from ministry, was told by God to eat and rest.

Rest is not laziness; it’s trust / the kind that says, “The world will keep turning while I sit in God’s presence.”

“He makes me lie down in green pastures; He restores my soul.” -  Psalm 23:2–3

If God is calling you to stillness, honor it. You can’t pour from an empty vessel.

​The Appointed Season -  When Heaven’s Timing Manifests

Some moments are purely sovereign. You can’t rush or earn them - only recognize them.

Jesus was born “in the fullness of time” (Galatians 4:4).

Abraham received the promise “at the appointed time” (Genesis 18:14).

An appointed season means God’s perfect timing has arrived - no delay, no denial, just divine completion.

How to Recognize What Season You’re In

​Ask the Holy Spirit. He reveals what God is doing beneath the surface.

​Pay attention to patterns. Closed doors, recurring lessons, or inner stirrings often mark shifts.

​Measure your pace. Every season requires a different rhythm - sowing, resting, or reaping.

​Stay faithful. No season lasts forever, but faithfulness bears fruit in all of them.

Final Thought

The same God who appoints seasons in nature governs the seasons of your soul.

Whether you’re waiting, birthing, resting, or harvesting -  He’s working.

Don’t rush what He’s refining.

Don’t quit what He’s cultivating.

And don’t fear what He’s shifting.

Because in every season, God’s purpose is unfolding - one moment, one chapter, one heartbeat at a time.

It’s your Prophetic season of New Beginnings - Have a Wonderful Week.

Disgracing Evil Patterns

       

Disgracing Evil Patterns

Evil patterns are negative cycles or destructive behaviours that repeat from generation to generation. These patterns can manifest in different forms—poverty, sickness, broken marriages, untimely death, and more.

The Bible addresses such issues as generational iniquities or curses that can affect a family line, but the good news is that through Jesus Christ, we can be delivered from these evil patterns.

UNDERSTANDING EVIL PATTERNS

a) What are Evil Patterns?

Evil patterns are recurring negative events that follow a predictable cycle, often seen within family lines or personal lives. These patterns can be financial struggles, health issues, or relational breakdowns that repeat across generations.

Sources of Evil Patterns:

Evil patterns often stem from ancestral curses, spiritual covenants, or unbroken iniquities that persist due to unconfessed sins or spiritual ignorance (Lamentations 5:7).

The Influence of Generational Curses:

The Bible speaks about the sins of the fathers visiting the children, indicating how patterns of iniquity can pass from one generation to another (Exodus 20:5). However, in Christ, we are given the power to break free from these curses.

Biblical Example: The Israelites suffered generational iniquities until they turned back to God for deliverance.

IDENTIFYING EVIL PATTERNS IN YOUR LIFE

a) Recurrent Failures:

Do you notice a pattern of failure in specific areas of your life—businesses failing at the same point, relationships breaking down in similar ways, or constant health problems?

b) Patterns in Family History:

Often, evil patterns are identifiable by looking at the family tree. Is there a history of untimely deaths, poverty, barrenness, or addiction that seems to affect multiple generations?

c) Spiritual Discernment and Prayer:

Seek the Holy Spirit’s help to discern if a particular issue in your life or family has its roots in spiritual bondage (1 Corinthians 2:10-11).

Biblical Example: Gideon realized that his family had an evil pattern of idolatry, and God instructed him to tear down the altar of Baal (Judges 6:25-27).

BREAKING FREE FROM EVIL PATTERNS

a) Repentance and Confession:

One of the most powerful keys to breaking free from generational curses and evil patterns is genuine repentance. Confess your sins and the sins of your forefathers, seeking God’s mercy and deliverance (2 Chronicles 7:14).

b) The Power of the Blood of Jesus:

Jesus’ death and resurrection broke the curse of the law, giving believers authority to declare freedom from every generational curse and evil pattern (Galatians 3:13-14).

c) Prayer of Deliverance:

Intense, persistent prayer is needed to break free from spiritual strongholds. Pray specifically against the evil patterns you’ve identified, using the authority of God’s Word (Matthew 18:18).

Biblical Example: Jabez prayed a specific prayer for deliverance from the evil pattern of pain in his life, and God granted his request (1 Chronicles 4:9-10).

4. MAINTAINING DELIVERANCE

a) Living a Righteous Life:

After breaking free from an evil pattern, it is important to walk in righteousness, staying close to God through prayer, studying His Word, and living in obedience (Isaiah 1:19).

b) Renouncing Evil Alliances and Agreements:

Many evil patterns persist because of covenants, oaths, or spiritual agreements made by previous generations. Renounce any ungodly ties to ancestral practices or spiritual connections that may keep these patterns alive (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

c) Spiritual Vigilance and Warfare:

Continue to engage in spiritual warfare through fasting, prayer, and declaring God’s promises over your life. The enemy will attempt to reintroduce old patterns, but through vigilance, you can maintain your victory (Ephesians 6:12-13).

Biblical Example: After being delivered from evil, the Israelites were commanded to avoid the practices of the nations they conquered, ensuring they did not fall back into old patterns (Deuteronomy 12:29-31).

- You must determine to change the pattern or enforce a change on the cycle or pattern e. g Jacob Matt 11-12.

You must break up from the habit you’ve gained from your Pedigree

​You must say it out that your case is different from the usual occurrence from your background.

-You must possess the spirit of a fighter I.e battle the matter in the place of prayer.

​you must fight to win and to break up your cycle. Isa 25: 3-4,Isa 10 :27

​when you make up your mind to be strong , God will be your refuge in the storm.

​when you are ready to fight the enemy,

God is ready to fight the enemy and he will supply strength to you.

-Engage the power of His Spirit to brake the cycle. Act 10:38, Rev 12:11, Zach 9:11 -Engage the power from the blood of Jesus

​Engage ​the power from the word of God -Involve the power of fasting Isa. 40:31

It is possible to be free as if the devil does not exist if you can fast and pray .

CONCLUSION:

Evil patterns are real, but they are no match for the power of God. Through the blood of Jesus, we have victory over every generational curse and evil pattern. Today, as we pray and declare God’s promises, every evil pattern in your life and family will be broken, and you will walk in the freedom Christ has given.

The Law of the Spirit of Life

 

                                                          The Law of the Spirit of Life

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.” Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭2‬

The Spirit brings life. That is, the divine law imposed by the Spirit imparts life—an everlasting spiritual vitality. Jesus likened this to “a spring of water welling up to eternal life” (John 4:14). We have truly been “made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1, NKJV).

The love of God is like air for us. We need it to live and the Holy Spirit gives it to us.

God’s love inspires us to trust him, be our true selves, and tell others the good news. When the love of God captures your heart, you will no longer use words like “debt,” “duty,” and “responsibility” to describe your Christian walk. Living religiously is a drudge, but living righteously becomes easy when we are empowered by the Spirit of the Father’s grace.

When you were born again or put into Christ, you received his Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing what is to come. The Spirit of Christ poured out the Father’s love and set you free from the law of sin and of death.

• The law of the Spirit of life is liberating.

You can activate and function within this higher spiritual principle through three main practices:

Walk According to the Spirit: Habitually aligning your daily decisions, actions, and habits with the leading of the Holy Spirit rather than fleshly desires.

Set Your Mind on the Spirit: Focus your thoughts on spiritual things rather than worldly or carnal concerns, which naturally results in "life and peace".

Acknowledge Your Freedom: Rest in the finished work of Christ, recognizing that you are no longer under condemnation or the dictates of sin.

2 Corinthians 5:17 :- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Ezekiel 36:26 :- I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

The law of the Spirit of life refers to the rule or influence of the indwelling Holy Spirit. As new creations, we get to live in union with the Spirit of Christ, and the main way his influence is felt is through the outpouring of the Father’s love in our hearts.

Walk and Work in the New Law by Love!

Biblical Prosperity

 

Prospering biblically goes beyond just financial wealth. True biblical prosperity encompasses holistic well-being—spiritual growth, relational peace, physical health, and the blessing of your work. It is grounded in aligning your life with God's principles, practicing stewardship, and serving others.

The biblical laws of success are a set of timeless wisdom principles that emphasize aligning one's mindset, work ethic, and relationships with spiritual truths.

According to scripture, true prosperity is achieved by combining diligence, integrity, and faith rather than relying on worldly shortcuts.

These principles are universally structured around several core, actionable laws:

1. The Law of Diligence and Hard Work: The Bible repeatedly condemns laziness and emphasizes that hard work leads to prosperity (Proverbs 13:4). Successful endeavors require energy, planning, and consistent effort.

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men."

2. The Law of the Mindset: How you think dictates your reality (Proverbs 23:7). Guarding your thoughts and maintaining a positive, faithful perspective over fear or past failures is foundational to achieving your goals.

3. The Law of Wisdom: Seeking and applying wisdom is prioritized over just gaining knowledge. Proverbs 4:7 famously notes that wisdom is the principal thing, and guidance should be sought through prayer and scripture.

4. The Law of Integrity: Honesty, fairness, and ethical dealings build a lasting reputation and trust, which are critical for long-term success in both career and life (Proverbs 11:3).

5. The Law of Generosity and Tithing: The principles of sowing and reaping suggest that generosity—whether through charity, tithing, or helping others—creates a cycle of abundance and blessing (Proverbs 11:25, Luke 6:38).

Seek God First: The foundational promise in Matthew 6:33 states that when you seek His kingdom and righteousness first, everything else will be provided.

Apply these principles and you will experience Rehoboth!

The Two Oils

 

The Two Oils!

The oil of joy, and the oil of gladness, are two oils that are mentioned in the Holy Bible.

Jesus was anointed by God with the oil of gladness, above His fellows (Psalm 45:7), but God also anointed Him with the Holy Ghost and with power. Both the oil of gladness and the oil of joy both represent the Holy Spirit. So, lets look at the substance of oil.

Oil is ‘fatness’ and ‘excess’. ‘Anointing’ is an action of being rubbed with oil or to be saturated with God, for a specific calling or need. Therefore, the oil of gladness is to literally be greased with excessive gladness; or greased with excessive joy. Spiritually, being anointed with either oils, is to be excessively anointed with the oil of the Holy Spirit, or excessively having the Holy Spirit’s indwelling within you.

Both the Old Testament and the New Testament speak of the ‘Servant’ aka our Lord Jesus Christ, being anointed with the oil of gladness and the oil of joy. (Isaiah 61 and Acts 10:38.)

Jesus was consecrated by being saturated with the oils (The Holy Spirit) for the specific purpose of the Messianic Office. That was the specific calling or need, on His life. The anointing or saturation furnished Him with the necessary powers for its administration.

Jesus knew what He was anointed or saturated with the Holy spirit of extreme joy and extreme gladness to do so and said so. (Isaiah 61: 1- 3; Luke 4:18) Jesus would do so above His fellows (those sharing and partaking as a partner in dignity, office, and work.) God ‘anointed’ Jesus with ‘exceeding joy’, excessively, surpassed anyone else with whom He had to do.)

The oil of joy and the oil of gladness would give Jesus power. It will also give every Christian power. (Acts 1:8) a power that allows the Christian to strongly stand joyfully or gladly, for the things of God.

How can we obtain the oil of gladness? For us to obtain the oil of gladness and be excessively saturated with it, the Christian has to:

Spend time in prayer; Spend time worshipping God; Spend time enriching your soul and spirit via Bible Study. The Oil of gladness has the power to set your affection and eyes on the Holy Trinity.

If you want the oil of gladness, spend time with God and ask Him for it. God is a good God.

The Oil of Favour

 

Divine Favour!

This morning I took some break since I was working remotely before joining some core meetings and started thinking on the Power of Divine Favour.

The concept is deeply tied to the stories of prominent figures in the Bible who experienced exceptional turnarounds:

Joseph: Went from being a slave and a prisoner to the prime minister of Egypt because of God's favour.Esther: Found favour with the king and was elevated from an orphan to a queen, which ultimately saved her people.

Jesus Christ: The Bible notes that He "increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man" (Luke 2:52).

Almost immediately, I wrote down five key points. Here are the Five keys.

1. Believe in and expect continual supernatural moves of God in your daily life.

2. The Doing Principle : By doing what you say you're going to do. when you say you’re going to do it.

3. intergrity Pays : Being a person of integrity even when no one else is around.

4. Godly Character: Being a person of character instead of being a character.

5. Live an Ephesians 6:8 lifestyle.

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

Treat people the way you want to be treated.

A greater tomorrow is not achieved by strength or skill alone but by divine advantage. When God’s favour is activated, closed doors open, delayed matters receive approval, and opposition loses its power.

Walk in Divine Favour!

Divine Multiplication Principles

 

Divine Multiplication

The principles of divine multiplication are spiritual laws that describe how God takes limited human resources, efforts, or faith and exponentially amplifies them for a greater impact. These principles are frequently rooted in biblical foundations.

The fundamental principles include:

a. The Law of the Seed: You cannot reap a harvest without first planting. In the context of divine multiplication, this means giving of your time, talents, or finances - 2 Corinthians 9:6

b. Surrender and Release: God cannot multiply what you hold on to. Just like the boy in the feeding of the 5,000 who surrendered his meager five loaves and two fish, you must let go of your resources to allow them to be distributed and increased.

c. Gratitude and Thanksgiving: Expressing deep gratitude shifts your focus from what you lack to the abundance of God. Jesus gave thanks to God for the limited food before the miracle of multiplication took place.

d. Proportionality: While the harvest can be exponential, it is often proportional to the planting. Investing minimally can yield limited results, whereas giving generously or faithfully out of obedience paves the way for larger returns.

e. The Law of Surrender: God multiplies what is first given and broken. Like the feeding of the five thousand (Matthew 14:15-21), the insufficient becomes abundant only when relinquished into Christ's hands.

The main take-away then is this: To “be fruitful and multiply” in the spiritual sense is to recognize that a law of multiplication is in effect.

And (God) Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your resources. - Eph. 3:20

The multiplication that occurs is not according to man’s measurement, but according to God’s unlimited supply.
