Divine Qualification

“But the LORD said to him, "Pay no attention to how tall and handsome he is. I have rejected him, because I do not judge as people judge. They look at the outward appearance, but I look at the heart."” 1 Samuel 16:7 (GNB)

God will not reject you in Jesus name. God looks at the heart to qualify a man. What does God look for in the heart of a man to qualify him? What did He see in the heart of Eliab that made God to reject him?

In 1 Samuel 15:17, God told us why He qualified Saul to be king over Israel: because he was humble at heart. When Saul considered himself of no importance, God qualified him and made him a king. God resists the proud but shows favor to the humble” 1Peter 5:5. It became clear that Eliab was rejected because of the pride in his heart.

Beloved, you are what you are today because God favored you. There are many who are as hard working as you are, have the same qualification, can also pray well but yet nothing is working for them. Give God the glory and remain humble before Him, so that he can lift you the more. Grace or divine favor is only for the humble. Pride brings destruction.

God will take you to the next level in Jesus name.

Don’t know what else to do?

“And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.” 2Chro 20:3-4

Do you have a mountain to move and don’t know what else to do? Then do these
1. Seek the Lord: Pray in the Spirit and pray in understanding to receive wisdom from the Lord on the issue. Mathew 7:7, James 1:5. Pray until you get through.
2. Speak to the mountain and call those things that are not as though they are. Rom 4:17, Mk 11:23. Your voice is your force. Speak in accordance with your expectation.
3. Be at peace in your heart. Mountain moves when you allow the peace of God in your heart. It is a sign of your trust in the Lord. Is 26:3.
4. Sing a new song. Have a new song in your mouth. Your song is a sign to your mountain. Act 16:25. Your song moves God, and when God moves, mountains disappear before Him.
It is well with you.

Move with the cloud

“And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:” Exodus 13:21

When you move in God’s direction, your little effort will produce great results in all areas of your life.

The highest flying bird in the world is the Eagle. What is its secret? It determines the direction of the wind and releases its wings. It always rides on the wind with little effort and achieves the greatest height. It never moves contrary to the wind.

Beloved, can you sense God’s direction for your life this year? Have you discovered what God wants to do through you and for you this year? Have you aligned your visions and your goals with God’s plan for your life this year? If you are able to do this, then you will have an easy ride to a great height this year.

People struggle and labor in vain because they are outside God’s plans and purposes for their lives. That is why you must take time to present your goals and visions to God in prayer for His green light.

I decree that the light of God shall shine on you this year in Jesus name.

Have a praiseful day.

Extra Oil is Needed

“And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.” Mathew 25:8-9. (KJV)

Your lamp will not go out in Jesus name. We are closer to the second coming of Christ than ever and we must study the scripture to adequately prepare ourselves. Hear the word of the Lord: extra oil is needed to make it.

Beloved, you need to be serious with your Christian walk and pay the price to generate the extra oil needed to be counted worthy at the return of Christ. There is no room for the flesh driven, lamp out, lukewarm Christians when He returns. The fact that the wise virgins told the foolish virgins to go and buy indicates that price is involved in generating the oil. The price include taking covenant responsibility, living bible-based life, putting God’s will first in our lives and spending time with God. You must stand out as a Christian in this corrupt world.

Most of us are carried away with our quest for wealth. Listen! True wealth comes by living a life of service and obedience to God. Such wealth comes without sorrow and does not take heaven from you. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36). Wealth acquired in an unrighteous way will lead to hell fire. We must not forget that wealth is part of the covenant and God is willing to give it to us.

As we consider this, let me ask you at what level is your oil? You can generate more now.
I ask God to keep you in His way in Jesus name. If you are not yet born again, repent now for He comes soon.

Epoch

“Do not remember the former things. Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness. And rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19

You are welcome into the year 2008 in the name of Jesus. It is a year of new beginning for you. A cycle of seven years in the millennium ended with 2007 and 2008 is the beginning of another cycle of seven years. Now hear the word of the Lord: Don’t tie yourself to the past, look forward, greater things are ahead of you.

God is going to do new things in your life this year, something you are not familiar with. What you need to do is to detach yourself from the past. God says you should not remember the former thing. The former things like past success, past failure, past hurts, past disappointment and such have power to tie a man down if he does not detach himself from them. God says He will even do what you consider to be impossible like making roads in the wilderness and rivers in the desert if you will not judge by what you went through in the past
.
Beloved, it is a great year for you, believe God’s word, take covenant responsibility and expect a new thing.

One in a thousand

“And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” Luke 1:28.

Most virgins in Israel were aware of the prophecy about the virgin birth of Jesus, so they were prepared. But Mary was chosen. The Bible did not tell us the reason why she was chosen other than that she was highly favored and blessed among women.

The Lord asked me to tell you that among thousands, you shall be highly favored; you shall be blessed among people in the name of Jesus.

Beloved, if there are many qualified for the promotion, you shall be highly favored. If there are many qualified for the contract, you shall be highly favored. If there are many qualified for the employment you shall be highly favored. If there are many qualified for the miracle, you shall be highly favored in the name of Jesus.

I decree that God will find a reason to favor you among thousands in Jesus name.
