    INGREDIENTS OF A WORKABLE PLAN

    For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
    Luke 14:28 (KJV)

    Planning is a non-negotiable function for anyone that desire to walk in wisdom and make a mark for the Kingdom. The bane of so many believers both in their personal lives and in industry is lethargy in this area of planning. Planning starts with discovering purpose and receiving vision. Vision shows you your long-term goal. You would need to develop short-term goals in pursuit of the vision. After you have developed goals, then at the planning table, you lay out your courses of action and make a choice for pursuit. How do I organize a plan? Brian Tracy, the master of personal development developed an acronym that can helps us develop a solid plan. He called it SMART. When developing a personal development plan for work, you should focus on SMART goals. SMART stands for “Specific”, “Measurable”, “Achievable”, “Relevant”, and “Time-Bound”. Following this easy to remember acronym, you can improve both your personal and professional life. Firstly, your plan must be Specific. You must have an end in view to which you are working at getting to. Your goal is your vision. You are specific about your target because vision shows the end and you can work your plans from where you are now to that end which the Lord has shown you. Secondly, your plans must be Measurable. You must be able to quantify your goals so that you can measure outcome. This is very important. For instance, you want to improve the harmony in your family. You must identify in clear terms the points of disharmony. In planning how to achieve harmony, those points of disharmony must be identified and how to work at them clearly spelt out, so you can come back to measure how far you have gone in working on those areas.

    Thirdly, your plans must be Achievable. You are going to take things one step at a time. Make plans that you can achieve with the grace of Yahweh upon your life. On the other hand, don’t allow your plans to be too easy that you don’t need the hand of Yahweh to accomplish it. Your plans must be achievable means that yours plans must hang on the balance where it will always drive you to Yahweh for grace because you wouldn’t be able to accomplish it on your own. Fourthly, your plans must be Relevant. Your plans must be relevant to your purpose and vision. Of course, we are looking at planning because it is the high way to achieving the vision of Yahweh in our lives, so they must be relevant to that vision.

    Lastly, your plans must be Time-Bound. This is one ingredient of a good plan. It must be time-bound. That means, there is a starting time to take actions and there is a finishing time and a time when actions taken must be scrutinized to make sure they conform to the plan. Then the process starts all over again. In order to make progress that you can see and track, you need to document a detailed plan of action. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Your plans must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask for the grace to sit down and count the cost of whatever you are showing me by developing a solid plan in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: There shall be no more futile efforts again in your life from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • PLANNING IS A PRODUCT OF WISDOM

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday October 13, 2023

    PLANNING IS A PRODUCT OF WISDOM

    Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense, and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts.
    Proverbs 24:3-4 (TLB)

    Planning is the fundamental management function, which involves deciding beforehand, what is to be done, when it is to be done, how it is to be done and who is going to do it. It is an intellectual process which lays down an organisation’s/individual’s objectives and develops various courses of action, by which the organisation/individual can achieve those objectives. It chalks out exactly, how to attain a specific goal. Planning is nothing but thinking before the action takes place. It helps us to take a peep into the future and decide in advance the way to deal with the situations, which we are going to encounter in future. It involves logical thinking and rational decision making. Spiritually speaking, planning is a wisdom function, that helps the individual, group, organisation or nation lay beforehand, what is to be done (objective), when it is to be done (timing), how it is to be done (strategy) and who is going to do it (assigning an individual). It leaves no room to assumptions. Our opening texts says that any enterprise, business, ministry, career is built by wise planning. Planning is tying activities or actions to be carried out to time, place and person. Planning is the fundamental way of being versatile in your pursuits in life. It is also a smart way to obtain results. Many believers who are still grounded today, though they have discovered their gifts, have identified with their discoveries and are unwaveringly committed in its pursuit, are so because they are poor planners. A wise man said, “failing to plan is planning to fail.” Planning, therefore, is God’s wisdom for increased productivity.

    Planning requires that you sit down to count the cost of every proposed action. Planning requires that you separate yourself alone to reason with the Lord in His Word and come up with scriptural courses of action that must be implemented within specific time frames. Facts are the instruments of a good plan. A fact is a truth, reality or a real state of things. There are natural, technical and spiritual facts. A natural fact is a truth pertaining to nature. For instance, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west — that is a natural fact. A technical fact, on the other hand, is a truth pertaining to art or applied science. For example, electrical facts. But spiritual facts are superior to all, because whatever is from above is above all. We have seen natural and technical facts producing outstanding results. Then you can imagine what spiritual facts will produce! That is why men who are linked up with spiritual facts effortlessly excel in all areas of life.

    Therefore, I advise that you create a place in your house you call “Thinking Corner”. Go there, sit down with paper and pen and begin to plan how to make the best of your days, your time, your money, etc. If you are able to think through, you will inevitably end up a success.

    REMEMBER: You can build anything if you can engage wise planning.

    CONFESSION: I am a wonder happening in this generation. I am a committed planner by the Holy Spirit. My time is very precious because I do not have eternity to fulfil destiny, I have only time and I put it to judicious use through wise planning. Glory be Yahweh!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see a revolution in your life by engaging wise planning by the help of the Holy Spirit from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE PERILS OF VISIONLESSNESS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday October 12, 2023

    THE PERILS OF VISIONLESSNESS

    Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
    Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

    Let us see several Bible translations of Proverbs 29:18. NLT says, “When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.” Easy-to-read Version (ERV) says, “If a nation is not guided by God, the people will lose self-control, but the nation that obeys God’s law will be happy.” GNB says, “A nation without God’s guidance is a nation without order. Happy are those who keep God’s law!” The Passion Translation(TPT) says, “When there is no clear prophetic vision, people quickly wander astray. But when you follow the revelation of the Word, heaven’s bliss fills your soul.” CEV says, “Without guidance from God law and order disappear, but God blesses everyone who obeys his Law.” Let’s collate these translations cited. What it is all about is that without vision, you perish, run wild, lose self-control, exist orderless, wander astray, and experience the disappearance of law and order in your life. I think these different translations have given us in details the dangers of living without vision. This perish is both in time and ultimately in eternity. It is vision that makes you keep eternity in view in your day to day operations. That is why perishing is inevitable without vision because just like New Living Translation (NLT) tells us, you would run wild. You will begin to live like every other person, “let us eat and drink, tomorrow we die.” (see Isaiah 22:13). You can run wild into alcoholism, pornography, sexual pervasions of all manner, squandermania, and all manner of unprintable addictions. All these are the product of lack of visions, people running wild.

    Without vision, people lose self-control. In career, business, family life and in spiritual life too, losing control is inevitable without vision. Imagine someone that opened a shop and by 10am, he/she is still sleeping at home. That is the manifestation of lack of vision. It is only a matter of time, before, he/she folds up and blame the witches in his/her father’s house and some fake prophets will help him/her to name it. But the bane of her life is not any witch, it is lack of vision. New King James Version (NKJV) says, “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.” The Word restraint is another word for discipline. Without vision, you will cast off restraint in all sphere of life. It is vision, that makes you to stand on your toes even when it is not convenient. Life of convenience is actually a life without vision. It is vision that brings discipline to your life.

    The Word says, let everything be done decently and in order (see I Corinthians 14:40), but without vision, you will be without order (GNB). Your life will be without order. That means chaos will be the norm in your life. Without vision, you will wander astray. But why should you live without vision, when you can get one from the Lord? Selah!

    REMEMBER: Without vision you perish, cast off restraint, run wild, lose self-control, exist orderless, wander astray, and experience the disappearance of law and order in your life.

    CONFESSION: My life is ordered by vision. I am so focused so much that all the gates of hell are in trembling. I am poised to make my heavenly Father proud He sent me in this generation. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Your days of existing without vision terminates today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO GET VISION

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday October 11, 2023

    HOW TO GET VISION

    I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
    Habakkuk 2:1 (KJV)

    Our opening text is describing a prayer situation and position. That presupposes that the quest to get your divine vision requires you to take a prayer posture. This prayer demands accounts why so many in the body of HaMashiach hasn’t known Yahweh’s purpose and plans for them till date. It is not gotten on platter of gold; it takes some prayer posture beloved. One major characteristics of a genuine vision is that it has its source in Yahweh. If you want to hear, “well-done, good and faithful servant” (see Matthew 25:21,23), you must ensure that you get your vision from the Lord. Any vision that does not have its source in Yahweh leads to destruction. It might flourish for a while but certain destruction is inevitable. Even if you are applauded here on earth by people, what becomes of you when you stand before the throne of Him to whom we have to do? (see Hebrews 4:13). A vision is sought for and acquired by man/woman. Everyone through separation seeks his own vision. No one can seek a vision for another person. Vision is an individual, personal affair. It is not a collective affair. A man/woman who desires a vision must necessarily separate himself from every distraction and make enquiries from Yahweh.

    Now, as you pray and seek the Lord for your vision, have these scriptural foundations. Firstly, make vision your need because the Lord is committed to meeting you at the point of your need. Philippians 4:19 says, ‘But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’ If it is a need, then you are guaranteed an answer. Prepare yourself to receive. Secondly, know that the Lord is more willing to reveal His purpose and plan to you than you are willing to ask. So come with assurance. Psalms 2:8 says, ‘Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.’ If There is a person to pray, there is Yahweh to answer. Yahweh is eager, don’t you waver. He is just waiting for that moment when you will step out to receive it from Him.

    Thirdly, “I will stand upon my watch”. Be alert and watchful. Visions are received during watchful moments. Watching and praying are two different things. Prayer is calling upon the Lord, while watching is conditioning your spirit man to receive from Yahweh. It involves getting your spirit-man linked with heaven in order to receive heaven’s signals. It is being in the Spirit. This is because the Lord can visit you any time – while going about your daily affairs, or at the wheel of a car driving, or cooking, etc. So, it takes being connected in the Spirit not to miss the signal that is carrying your vision. You see, a fleshy person has no business in this matter. Selah!

    REMEMBER: You position yourself on the prayer altar with watchfulness to receive vision.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for your word to me today. Father I am ready to receive your vision for me, let it drop in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I command your spirit to come alive today in order to receive divine vision. I decree that every issue of mourning ends forever in your life and family from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WISDOM FORBIDS VISIONLESS EXISTENCE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday October 10, 2023

    WISDOM FORBIDS VISIONLESS EXISTENCE

    And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
    Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV)

    Contrary to what some believe, vision is not that dream one has in the night. Neither is it what transpires in a trance or what obtains in moments of ecstasy. A true vision is the unfolding of divine plan and purpose. Every one is created to fulfill a purpose here on earth, just as every manufacturer creates a product specifically to fulfill a purpose. A discovery of the purpose for which you are created is called vision.

    Divine vision is seeing in the eyes of your mind where the Lord is taking you to. It is seeing the end from where you are. Divine Vision is seeing the Purpose of Yahweh for your life. It is coming to the place where you can see the reason why you are living. You are born to fulfil a particular course. A discovery of that course is what is called vision. Vision, therefore, can be defined as the unfolding of a divine plan as it relates to a nation, group or an individual. The unfolding of Yahweh’s plan about a man’s life is the beginning of a great future. It is the beginning of that man’s stardom in the kingdom. You never become a star until you operate within the scope of Yahweh’s plan for your life. Every believer has a peculiar plan, a peculiar function which has been assigned to him before he was born. Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Every one believer has been ordained to carry out a particular function. We are all members of the same body. We are the body of HaMashiach. I Corinthians 12:27 says, “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” Each member has a function to carry out. As a member of the body, you are a steward of a particular function. Yahweh expects you to carry out this function. This is ministry, it is stewardship. It is not limited to the pulpit. Ministry is occupying your position as assigned by Yahweh.

    Callings and elections are not limited to preaching. You have a function. You have a divine assignment. A discovery of this function is what is called vision. Vision is a divine insight into Yahweh’s plan for you. The pursuit of this vision is what is called a ministry. It therefore goes that, no vision, no ministry. You have a ministry and it is your duty to discover it. Just like the prophet Habakkuk, stand upon your watch and see what Yahweh has for you. Become a visionary. Only visionaries become great in the kingdom. Locate your function and begin to manifest in it. The future of every believer depends on the discovery of his function. Know this: No calling is of a low status. Every calling, every function is a high calling. Every calling culminates in glory. Take delivery of divine vision and focus.

    REMEMBER: Vision is the unfolding of divine purpose and plan.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask that You unfold Your purpose and plan for my life, family and for our Church and nation to me in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: May your eyes be opened this day to see divine purpose and plan for your life. Today marks the end of every form of weakness, lethargic existence and powerlessness of the spirit in your life. From today, start commanding what has commanded you before. Rule and reign in the midst of your enemies. Take back without delay any hanging blessing today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • DANGERS OF NOT LIVING YOUR PURPOSE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday October 9, 2023

    DANGERS OF NOT LIVING YOUR PURPOSE

    Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
    Ecclesiastes 12:8 (KJV)

    Firstly, meaning in life is a function of purpose. You will not be able to wrap your mind around existence if you fail to discover your purpose. Can you imagine being in a journey that has no destination and objective. A wise man had said that if you don’t know where you are going, everywhere will look like it. Meaninglessness is a function of purposelessness. People are growing up, going to school, getting a job or running a business and living life without defining why. “Why am I living?” Are you living just to get degrees, get the best paying jobs, buy the best car and house and then continue like that? There is nothing more vain like living without purpose. It makes you live for things and as long as you live for things, you will live in mirage.

    Secondly, living without purpose is living without focus. If you lack focus, growth is hampered. Focus is the ability to concentrate attention and energy on something. Focus is a function of purpose. Without purpose, focus is non-existent. Proverbs 4.25 (NASB) says, ‘Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.’ Purpose shows you the reason you are alive, which helps you to focus on that. If you are going nowhere, or where you are going is a function of competition, then you would be looking here and there. Anything can call your attention and you would be there. Focus is unachievable any other way. With a purpose, you are guided to choose a career path, people around you, relationships, friends, living space and even your daily movements accordingly. The end goal in mind is consistent.

    Thirdly, real success is unachievable without purpose. Success is coming to satisfaction and peace with your maker, yourself and your environment. You cannot know satisfaction without purpose. Assuming your purpose is to go to Enugu but you never discovered that you are going to Enugu. However, being on the road, you head to Lagos, on a high speed, you may succeed in getting to Lagos, but you are not successful in the real sense because before your maker, you are supposed to be in Enugu. So, without even knowing what your life’s purpose is, no matter how hard you work, it will be useless.

    Fourthly, a life without purpose not only impact your mental health, it also affects your physical well-being too. Purpose is at the root of everything that is operating seamlessly. Without purpose there will be friction in almost everything. Relationships will fall apart, career will fall apart. The emotional strain on the mind will automatically translate to your physical body. Continuous stress is likely to cause hair loss, acne, weight loss, weight gain, etc.

    For space here, let’s conclude by saying that you cannot afford a life without purpose. Don’t even contemplate it for a second. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Life without purpose is dangerous.

    CONFESSION: I know who I am. I know what I am born to do. My eyes is firmly fixed on fulfilling Yahweh’s desire for my life. I shall not fail. Glory be Yahweh!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see your eyes of understanding enlightened today to know your purpose and to be focused in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE

    4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
    Jeremiah 1.4-5 [KJV]

    Purpose is the secret of satisfaction in life. Purpose is what ends the evil spirit of jealousy and competition in your life. There is a lane that your creator has curved out for you. You have a track that only you can function in. Joel 2:7 says, “They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:” You are here to serve the purpose of Yahweh in your generation just like David. Acts 13:36 (NET) says, “For David, after he had served God’s purpose in his own generation, died, was buried with his ancestors, and experienced decay,” “But how do I know my purpose?” Someone might ask. We shall discuss a couple of indicators or ways that you can discover your purpose. Proverbs 25:2 says, ‘It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.’ Your purpose is your discovery. It is your honour to discover it. The first place to start in discovering your purpose is from the mouth of the Lord Himself. He is your maker. Our opening verse confirms that. The Lord can speak to you telling you exactly what He wants you to do with your life. It can come directly from His mouth.

    Secondly, Look inward and discover what makes you dissatisfied. Listening to your dissatisfaction can be an indication of what you are sent to correct. What makes you angry and arouses your fury may be an indication of what you are called to change. Remember, it is your honour to discover your purpose. So, there must be a searching. Listening to your dissatisfaction is a good place to search. Thirdly, look into your gifts and talents. What can you do easily and with excitement. What do you want to do above other things. Even though there is no reward of money, you are excited to do this particular thing, that is a good indication of your assignment on earth. You came on earth endowed with talents to help you fulfil divine purpose. That talent if developed can bring you to fulfilment in life. Remember, we said that purpose brings fulfilment in life. So, your talents latent inside of you is a pointer to your divine purpose. Fourthly, is there something you are passionate about? It is not about what others wants from you but what drives you to release your might without a sense of receiving a reward. Your passion can be a pointer to your divine purpose. See the young man David with a passion to defend the integrity of His God. That was a pointer to His purpose. It doesn’t matter if His life goes in the course thereof. What is it for which you are more than willing to lay down your life? That maybe a pointer to your purpose.

    One thing that you should bear in mind in the course of discovering purpose is that except the Lord Yahweh has spoken to you expressly, follow your passion, your gifts and talents.

    REMEMBER: Discovering your divine purpose is your responsibility.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask that You open my eyes as I search for Your purpose for my life. Help me to locate it and I receive the drive to pursue and make You proud in my generation in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree your discovery of purpose. Your days of smallness are over forever. Your fame begins to fly abroad now. Come into limelight by divine purpose in Yahushua’s name Amen!

  • HOW TO GET WISDOM (3): THE FEAR OF THE LORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    HOW TO GET WISDOM (3): THE FEAR OF THE LORD

    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
    Proverbs 9:10 (KJV)

    The fear of the Lord is the foundation for everything that is coming down from heaven. Every other gift from the Lord apart from Salvation is a function of the fear of the Lord. Salvation brings you to the fear of the Lord. Even though at Salvation, you are holy, made a holy priesthood, however, the matter of the fear of the Lord is a choice every believer must make. Proverbs 1:29 says, ‘For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:’ Until you make the choice for the fear of the Lord in your life, you don’t have a chance with this Wisdom that turns the mountains by the roots. We saw a valid example in Daniel. The Wisdom that Yahweh gave Daniel was on the altar of the fear of the Lord when Daniel made a solid choice out of the fear of the Lord not to defile himself. Daniel 1:8 says, “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” What was the result of the fear of the Lord in the life of Daniel? “As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” (Daniel 1:17). The fear of the Lord is the foundation for Wisdom. You want to flow in this Wisdom from above? Then you must make the choice for the Fear of the Lord today.

    Another solid example of the fear of the Lord that brought about divine Wisdom was the man Joseph. Genesis 42:18 says, ‘And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:’ What was the result of the fear of the Lord in the life of Joseph? Genesis 41:39 says, ‘And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:’ The fear of the Lord our opening texts says, is the beginning of Wisdom. If Wisdom never began in your life, what is your hope of ever functioning in Wisdom? Divine Wisdom starts in and with the Fear of the Lord.

    The Fear of the Lord is reverence for Yahweh. It is deep seated love and awe of the Lord upon your spirit, soul and body. The Fear of the Lord is coming to the point of living your life because of the Lord. It is coming to the point of living for the whole purpose of pleasing the Lord. The Fear of the Lord is living for the pleasure of the Lord in words and deeds. The Fear of the Lord is commitment to doing the Word no matter what. The Fear of the Lord is not a gift of the Spirit. So, beloved, you are not disadvantaged at all. The fear of the Lord is a choice. Also the fear of the Lord is taught by the Word. Psalms 34:11 says, “Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.” The Lord Yahushua says in Matthew 11:29 that we should come and learn of Him. The teachings of the Word is what imparts the fear of the Lord which activates the Wisdom of Yahweh in your life. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Divine Wisdom.

    CONFESSION: Lord Yahushua, pleasing You is my greatest ambition. I am committed to doing Your Word no matter what it costs me. I function in Wisdom in all my ways! Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree your deliverance now from any area where iniquity is holding you to ransom in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO GET WISDOM (2): BY THE WORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    HOW TO GET WISDOM (2): BY THE WORD

    The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
    Psalms 19:7 (KJV)

    The spiritual environment that you must be to get this Wisdom is in HaMashiach. That means that you must be properly genuinely saved. Without this platform, this Wisdom would be an elusive desire in the life of anyone. The best you can get is human wisdom. This Wisdom that comes from above is only accessible to those dwelling in the heavenly places. As a born again person, you are dwelling in the heavenly places in HaMashiach (see Ephesians 1:20; 2:5-6). The Word of the Lord is foolishness to the unregenerated person. This Wisdom from above is stirred by learning the Word of the Lord. That is to say that you have no chance in this Wisdom if you are not in the Word. It is the Word of the Law that stirs the deposit of this Wisdom. Our opening text says that the Word makes wise the simple. The simple here is the person that is seducible. The simple here is the person that is silly; that can be attracted or lead away from proper behaviour or thinking. Everybody that is not born again has fallen into the seduction of the devil and it takes new birth and schooling in the Word to stir the Wisdom from above in the life of the believer. There is a life of Wisdom in your spirit-man but it takes seating down at the feet of the Lord Yahushua who is the Word to stir it up in order for it to produce a life of shining for you. This is because the mind is channel of manifesting this Wisdom.

    Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Until you renew your mind with the Word, you cannot function in this Wisdom. This Wisdom from above is the key to living as a principality on earth. A life of success and dominion is not possible outside this Wisdom. However, to stir this wisdom, you must engage the Word. This is why Joshua was instructed that ‘This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.’ (Joshua 1:8). As you stay in the Word, your mind is renewed, thereby being able to discern the right from the wrong.

    Proverbs 2:6 says, ‘For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.’ Your encounter with this Wisdom is always tied to the Word. Out of His mouth comes understanding. Until you understand the Word, you cannot do it and Wisdom is doing the Word. Deuteronomy 4:6 says, ‘Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ Develop a Word program for yourself and be diligent to it. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Until your mind is renewed by the Word, you cannot function in Wisdom.

    CONFESSION: I am a word-addict. The Word is the highest thing I value on earth and am glad that it is stirring me up in Wisdom and causing me to function as a principality everywhere I go. Halleluyah!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every inhibition that is standing on your path to the Word is cursed from its root now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
