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.

Silence of the lambs...

Nothing stirs my spirit more than when I see men rejoice in ignorance,Ignorant men who do not wnat to get wisdom. Oh brethren, did not the scripture say that wisdom is the principal thing and that in all our getting we should get wisdom? Men of this age are pursuing every other thing but wisdom. My bible tells me that wisdom was present when the foundations of this world was laid. What then is there that we desire to be instructed in that we can not get from the school of wisdom. How overwhelming is the foolishness of this world, how pathetic is the life of the man who celebrates his ignorance! He is caught in the trap of an insatiable urge to always hear his own voice and bewitched by a strong sense of entitlement. Let us therefore listen more than we speak for in patient listening comes epiphany. The enterance of God's word gives light and understanding to the simple. Seek wisdom and you shall find her. Not in the volumes of man's knowledge for man has been confused since af...

Orbis Unum

We witness a display of man's tendency for a unified system in the Babel episode as recorded in the book of genesis. Here we see man uniting and making himself mighty in a "one world" government. I want to answer two questions that arise from that episode: Was man's crave for a one world government (and that crave is still unsatisfied) an accident? Also, was God's refusal justified? "Orbis Unum" is the latin for "one world" and this has been the direction that world politics has been heading. From the time of Nimrod, to the Pharohes of Egypt, to Nebuchadnezzar, to Dairus, to Alexander the great, to Julius Ceasar, the list is endless. The primary motive that drove the manifestation of their dominion was Orbis Unum. Believe it or not, the Roman Catholic Church joined the party and Islam is about Orbis Unum.Why then is this drive towards a one world system? Understanding this will give insight into the direction that world politics is heading to...

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 ...
