Six Decisions That Guarantee Your Manifestation

In Hab. 2:1-3,we see a progressive journey of a God given mandate which we cannot ignore.
Firstly, every mandate is God commanded. If it is not God commanded,it is not of God.
God commanded doesn't mean spectacular. It is supernatural,not necessarily spectacular. For some,it was just a knowing that they will preach the gospel. It came as a vision or a series of visions and dreams for others while some had the Lord Jesus appear to them and tell them what they must do. Basically,(whether yours was spectacular or not) it has to be from God and it must have happened while you were in His presence.
Secondly, God speaks only to men who are in His presence. When He does, it births a vision.
Finally, every vision has a season of incubation before it manifests. This season is a period of much activity. What kind of activity? Activities of obedience-OBEDIENCE TO THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME WITH WHAT GOD HAS REVEALED. Instructions are what you receive in the presence of God that enable you work out the manifestation of the vision. VISIONS DON'T JUST HAPPEN,THEY CRYSTALIZE BY OBEDIENCE TO INSTRUCTIONS and the tools with which you work out the manifestation of your mandate is instructions. The instruction you catch in the revelation of your divine mandate is the divine wisdom you have received to manifest destiny (WHAT DID GOD TELL YOU TO DO?-- the mandate instruction.)
Here are six decisions you must make that will help you carry out (and consistently receive fresh instructions per time because your calling is a progressive revelation):
1. Give daily priority to the word (study,reading and meditation).
2. Give daily priority to fellowshipping with the giver of the mandate-- communion with the Holy Spirit (the revealerof truth and divine secrets)
3. Fellowship with the vision and the words of its covenant (your vision will not materialize till it becomes an obsession). As hab 2:2 says,WRITE THE VISION. The words of the covenant are the instructions and assurance you have received of the Lord.
4. Practise! Practise! Practise the vision/mandate. Serve with your gift faithfully (you cannot circumvent the phase of service. Those who did not serve faithfully and impatiently launched out are making a shipwreck oftheir vision because they did not learn all the lessons they needed to learn). Don't substitute your vision with another man's or downplay its standards.
5. Decide to partner with grace. Practise laying a demand on grace and following the leading of God's Spirit in the area of your calling daily.
6. Feed on/invest in materials that will empower you to deliver your mandate excellently. These are: (a) God's word (Col 3:16; 1Tim 4:15-16) (b) Listen to your Father and your mentor(s) (1Cor 4:15-16). (c) Read anointed books (1Tim 4:13,15-16) (d) Build destiny relationships.

The Owner of the Office knows best.

Earlier this evening I decided to cook for the family. I wanted to prepare a local delicacy popular with the Enugu people of Eastern Nigeria. It is called Okpa. It is a pudding made from the flour of bambara nuts with palm oil, pepper and a little salt. You can add pepper to taste. My son is particularly fond of it. Well, my wife is the manager of the kitchen and the store. She went to church for clean up, leaving me and my boy at home. I decided to give her a helping hand. It was she who organized the store and it was she who really knew where what was kept. I invaded her office with good intentions. But you know how that saying goes that good intentions are not enough. I had never prepared Okpa myself but I have watched her do it several times. I can learn by observation so I knew what to do. I entered into the store and got the flour I used, combining it with the other ingredients and seasoning it to taste. It was going to be delicious and I felt proud of myself. I put it on the

Tests of purpose and vision- The sequel

Last time on this series, we examined four of twelve tests of purpose and vision- The test of apetite, pride, sex and money. Let's continue from where we stopped. As an addendum to the test of money, let me quickly say that most christians find it rather challanging to be faithful when it comes to money. Money is the only thing Jesus put in the god class when he said "you can not serve God and mammon". The problem believers have is the love of money which, as scriptures put it, is the root of all evil. We have seen (and we will always see) men do all sort of things for the sake of money. Believers have to be espeially areful in this area because what you do for immediate gain and satisfaction could cost you your destiny. Now to the next test- The test of Parenthood. Honour your parents (Eph 6:1-3). How you treat your parents affects your destiny either positively or negatively. The consequence of dishonouring your parents is not just a curse but the result of breaking

The Shift

Happy new year to all my esteemed readers around the world. We have, together, seen the end of the first decade of the 21st century and i have been doing alot of thinking and personal evaluation. I have come to the conclusion that there is a place where we are, or were, and there is a place where we ought to be, or are tending towards. One of the most significant things that will happen in the year 2011 is the shift. This shift will happen on a personal and global scale and the shaking will bring about mixed consequences. This shift i am talking about will be characterised by "seasons." Your control of your seasons will determine where you will end your shift process. There are certain things you must know about your season: every season has it's benefits no matter how gloomy every season has an opportunity for growth in all four dimensions of human consciousness viz: Imagination,conscience,will power and self awareness. You need the right tool to master your seaso
