  • INGREDIENTS OF A WORKABLE PLAN

    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 identity 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!

  • HOW TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (1): READING AND LISTENING TO THE WORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday March 16, 2021

    HOW TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (1): READING AND LISTENING TO THE WORD

    Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
    II Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

    Beginning from today, we are going to examine how we can encounter the Word. With all we have seen the Word can do for us, unless we connect with the Word, we cannot enjoy the benefits. So how can we experience the Word and have the Word impart and metamorphose us? As we begin to unfold how we can do this, believe Yahweh to be a doer and not a hearer only. Decide to do and plan to do. Set Word objectives of what you must be covering in the light of what we are going to be showing you in a couple of days to come. It is He that does the Word that is blessed in his life (see James 1:22-25). The first way we encounter the Word is to hear it. Romans 10:17 says, ‘So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.’ Hearing the Word is by reading and listening. When you read, you are engaging your eyes and ears at the same time. This is important because what you see, makes impressions on your mind. The ear and the eyes are major channels into your mind and consequently your spirit-man. Consider this instruction from the Lord through Moses in Deuteronomy 11:19, ‘And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.’ This is saying let the ear channel of your children be saturated with the Word practically all the time.

    What reading does for you is that it floods your eyes and ears with the Word. What your eyes sees and your ears hears is what remains on your mind and that can be effortless. The work you need to do is to expose something to your eyes and ears, the other reaction of it remaining on your mind is almost involuntary. Even when you don’t plan to think about it, the mind just goes there because it is what it sees and hears that it cogitates upon. Without reading and listening to the Word being read out like audio Bible as we have them in this age, you are cutting off yourself from having the Word make impression of the Spirit on your spirit-man. There is Igbo adage that says “an ocean does not drown a person that it did not see his/her legs”. The Word is powerless in your life unless it comes into contact with your mind and spirit-man and that for a long while.

    Beloved, Satan knows this fact, therefore, he makes sure that you don’t make out time to read and listen to the Word. Now, you have to seat down and make a Word reading schedule. If you don’t do it, then it would not be done. You must set your Word reading goals for each day and then you can measure your progress. Why is setting Word targets important? Just the way you cannot measure performance against nothing. There must be a budgeting before you can measure performance or the actual against the budgeted. Same applies in your Word life. If you don’t have a target of what you must cover each day, you are not going to have anything to measure your performance against. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Set daily Word reading targets and ensure you are not failing.

    CONFESSION: The Word is the food of my spirit and on daily basis, I feed my spirit-man so fat deliberately. I do not take chances on taking care of my spirit-man. I am intentional about my spiritual health. Thank You Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every carelessness about your spiritual health is over from today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (4): VIBRANT SPIRITUAL LIFE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday February 27, 2021

    THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (4):  VIBRANT SPIRITUAL LIFE

    And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
    John 17:19 [KJV]

    In Romans 2:21-22, the word says, ‘21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?  22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?’  That goes to say that preaching the gospel forms as a check on your own life.  You cannot preach a thing and afterwards go right into that sin.  Preaching is one way to maintain a vibrant spiritual life that is burning for the Lord.  The preparations required to engaged in productive evangelism and soul-winning is such that makes for a robust spiritual life. That is why as a benefit of bearing the gospel, your spiritual life is enhanced.  You are always on fire for the Lord.  Another thing that makes that possible is the challenges encountered in the harvest field.   As you go out to preach the gospel, you come in contact with people that have debilitating issues that will take sleep out of your eyes in the night as you cry out to Yahweh for intervention in their lives.  There are situations you encounter that fasting just began from there on the spot because you must see that situation changed.  You cannot be doing all that without experiencing fire on continuous basis.

    Another thing is preaching the gospel renews the consciousness of the rapture.  As the consciousness of the rapture bears heavy on your mind, it makes you live ready.  The Word says that if in this world only we have hope in HaMashiach, we are of all men most miserable (I Corinthians 15:19).  That is why we are preaching the gospel, because the time of the rapture is at hand and there are many that are yet to hear it.  However, as I bear the gospel, the consciousness of the rapture is awakened in my spirit which makes me live ready.  This is the benefit of going for souls.  In this world now, it is very easy to be carried away with the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches and that day will take one unawares.  To maintain the consciousness is a huge blessing.  One of the criterion of being rapturable is that you must be expecting His coming (II Peter 3:12; Hebrews 9:28).  He shall appear to those who look for him; who are hastening and panting for his return.  If preaching the gospel ensure that you are constantly looking forward to his return, then you are in a position where you can never miss the rapture.

    As this month draws to a close beloved, I want you to make a quality decision about your primary assignment.  Would you want to be tagged a failure before your maker?  You are excelling in your secondary assignment but have completely neglected your primary assignment.  This is very bad and I pray that you would not allow today to pass without deciding to reverse this trend in your life.  The truth is that we are living in injury time.  The days are numbers beloved, we do not have all the time to check time.  Whatever you fail to do today, has gone.  Today once it is passed it is gone.  Your colleague that you are watching go to the lake of fire, will never forgive you for not telling him/her about the hope that is available in HaMashiach.  Your own is to tell them, theirs is to accept or reject.  Whatever, they do with the decision, you would have fulfilled your own lot.  There are tremendous benefits in being faithful to the course of soul-winning as we have seen a few.  May the Lord enfire you to make a quality decision about the gospel today.  Selah!

    REMEMBER:  Soul-winning helps you maintain vibrancy spiritually and also rapture consciousness.

    PRAYER:  Dear Father, thank You for your Word to me today.  I ask for the grace to be on the go with the gospel of HaMashiach as it helps me maintain spiritual vibrancy and rapture consciousness in the Name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  From today, I see your spiritual fire escalating to the next level and a high level of rapture consciousness engulfing your soul in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (6): ERUPTION OF SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday January 25, 2021

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (6):  ERUPTION OF SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

    Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, …
    Isaiah 58:8  (KJV)

    We are living in the days of prophetic gross darkness (see Isaiah 60:1-2).  Darkness connotes the devil and all his manifestations.  Darkness is a state of visionlessness, purposelessness, and hopelessness.  Darkness is a state where you do not know what to do, where to go and what to expect.  Darkness is a state of confusion, contradiction, conflict and depression.  Light here implies illumination, insight, understanding and enlightenment.  Light here means the opening of the Word of God for you to the point of understanding and seeing really what God is showing you from the pages of scripture.  To be lighted is to be lifted.  To be illuminated is to be elevated.  The glory of your life is at the mercy of light because until you are illuminated, you will end up eliminated.  Your change of story is at the instance of light.  Until you can see it, you cannot seize it.  Your inheritance in HaMashiach (Christ) is available and ready for the taking, but it would take you to see it to seize it.   So anything that you would do to see the hidden treasures behind the written Word, it is wisdom to go for it.

    There is one thing the Bible guarantees will make your light to break forth as the morning.  It is fasting.  Fasting facilitates the springing forth of your light which in turn causes you to take a flight to the top.  Your place is at the top if you are interested.  When you fast, the limitations of the flesh are overcome and your spirit is freed to explore in revelations of the Lord.  The scales over your eyes suddenly fall off and you can now see clearly what the Spirit is saying to you to do.  And when you can see the Word of God, it imparts faith.  When faith comes, anything is absolutely possible to you.  You begin to walk in the stances of Adonai because you are operating in the faith of Yahweh by the illumination of scriptures.  That impacts authority and dominion over the elements of the earth.  This is your turn.  You shall no more walk in darkness. Confusion is over in your life from today!

    Influence and impact for the gospel is only possible when your light comes.  But light is not cheap, it comes in the labour room of fasting.  It is those pregnant with fasting that gives birth to spiritual understanding which we call light.  See the expression “Then shall thy light break forth as the morning”, that connotes that it was hedged in until there is a force that catapults it out forcefully as it were.  Fasting is that force that secures and breaks forth your light.  Being lighted is your inheritance in HaMashiach but it takes fasting to see the realization.  As you fast and pray, the prayer of Apostle Paul in Ephesians 1:17-18 is fulfilled in your life. That shall be your testimony!

    REMEMBER:  Fasting secures the breaking forth of spiritual understanding.

    CONFESSION:   My eyes of understanding are enlightened to know what is the hope of my calling and what is the riches of my inheritance in the saints and what is the exceeding greatness of His power that is at work in me mightily.  Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  I decree the breaking forth of your light now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
