SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF VISION


Vision is a language unfortunately many do not speak it. Just as there are many languages in the world that you do not understand, even so it is for many who don't have a vision. If you're a visionary you would notice that some persons cannot keep a conversation with you long enough. They'd feel as though they are being outrun or try to switch the conversation into something they are more comfortable with.

Vision is a language and so it must be spoken. The only way we can recognise different languages is by its sound and tone being used by its speaker. In like manner, your vision becomes known by all when it is on your lips. I learnt this morning that your silence can kill your destiny. The devil cannot kill your vision, why? Death and life, the Word says, lies in the power of the tongue. Jesus has also told us that he now has the key of death and life and If God be for you, who can against you?

Look at it his way: Can anyone steal your mother tongue? NO! The only way to loose your mastery of a Language is to stop speaking it and probably adopt a new one, and this can happen where there is no one to speak it with.

So, lastly Vision is Language, it must be Spoken and it must be Spoken with those who understand it. Yesterday, my Friend Leke Ademo, a Lover of God, an Author, an Inspirational Speaker came around to my office and we spent quality time together talking about vision. We didn't spend time talking about what was wrong in the country or what things were not right, we kept speaking back and forth about vision and right there we set in motion plan for his Vision Conference which would take off in January 2016. That's what happens when Visionaries meet, they speak the Language of Vision.

Central Truth: Vision is a Language, it must be Spoken, it must be spoken with those who understand it.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: Proverbs  18:21

PRAYER:
LORD, help me to keep speaking the Language of Vision in Jesus Name.

We've been speaking the Language of Vision where our NGO is concerned. God is positioning to be a voice for youth development in the nation. Keep praying for us towards our Launching few days from today.

IT'S TIME TO COME INSIDE


Many times I get to wonder how people without Christ live their lives. When I get to fellowship with God and with other brethren I see the indispensability of God. In other words, I keep realising the fact that we can't do without him. Yet it seems many can bare to live outside of God's influence.

The question today is are you outside? Not outside of your room, or country, but outside of God's influence? There's a gap, a hole in your life that nothing can fill except the presence of God. The scriptures rightly define the body as the temple of God. In other words, only God has the right to dwell in you.

The latter part of 1 John 1:3 says "... and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ". Truly our fellowship is with our Heavenly Father. What's your excuse for being outside of the fold of God? Is it the theories of men or the troubles of life?

Irrespective of what holds you back, it's time for you to arise and come to the father. There are no rules and regulations, he just says COME. You still have a great chance while here on earth, you can't afford to be outside after you leave earth, it would mean an eternal separation in hell which wasn't designed for you.

It's time to come Inside. There's Love, Joy, Peace and the Presence of God would make the whole difference.

Central Truth: Being with God is more valuable than being without Him.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: 1 John 1:3

PRAYER:
LORD, I come into your fold today, I choose to be with you now and till eternity in Jesus Name.

Things are taking off gradually. Keep praying for us for out Launching few weeks from now.

IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED


"Simplify your life", I think that's the most important lesson everyone needs to learn. Life wasn't designed by God to be hard, full of identity crises, inferiority complex and all. God intended us to have life and have it more abundantly. Jesus made this clear when he said "I have come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly". There's no joy in living a life that isn't yours. Imagine if you wore the clothes of someone three times your size, or two times smaller than your present size. How uncomfortable would that be?

When we choose to live life by the Spirit we enter into a life of rest. More so when the Word gets a grip over our minds and heart, it cuts out  the habits and mindsets that make us live a life that doesn't bring glory to God. I particularly loved my Zonal Coordinator while serving in NCCF. He demonstrated simplicity. He was the same while preaching as he was while relating with fellow Corps members. He spoke the Word fervently and yet knew how to be just like everyone else.

With this, it can be said that Simplicity breeds humility. Don't envy, hate or try to impress others. You've got to be comfortable in your own skin. Walk in the reality of your identity. It isn't that complicated to live this life.

Also, in relating with our Father God, it is necessary that we understand the simplicity. Remember what Paul wrote: "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ". When it becomes hard to relate with God, it might just be you've added man made theories to God's simple injunction to COME. Every time Jesus was amongst the people he did not refuse anyone that came to Him. He RECEIVED them.

Come Boldly to Him today. Call Him Father!

Central Truth: In Christ life is simplified.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 11:3

PRAYER:
LORD, I come based on your injunction. Through your word cut out every mindset that doesn't please you in Jesus Name.

Keep Praying for us for our Launching coming up few days from now.

YOU'RE NOT AN EX-CONVICT.


In the world system today, whenever a man has been convicted and served his sentence in jail, he still, despite being free, has restrictions and limitations. He wouldn't be able to contest for political office, he'd always be known as an ex-convict. Howbeit in the Spirit it is a different story. When we come to Christ ALL records are not only cancelled, the records of all your sins and wrong doings ceases to exist. You become someone who has never sinned. All Divine rights and Privileges are transferred to you through Christ.

How come? It is because it is written "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him". Jesus became everything that you once were so that you could become all that He is-RIGHTEOUS. You are Justified by Faith in the Finished work of Christ.

Understand today that there's no and will never be any record of sin against you. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. God has Covenanted through the blood of His Beloved Son not to remember your sins and iniquities any more-Hebrews 8. You can access the throne of God boldly via the blood of Jesus and enjoy all the benefits a relationship with the Father provides.

Are you struggling with condemnation, guilt, or worries of the failures of the past or even besetting sins? You need not be. All the wrath that God could ever have has been contained by Jesus through his death. That hymn says "Till on the cross as Jesus Died, the wrath of God was satisfied, for every sin on Him was laid. Here in the death of Christ I live". God is not angry with you and will never be, all His anger has been absorbed in the body of Jesus.

It is too good to be true. If it is not then it isn't the Gospel. YOU ARE FREE. LIVE IN IT.

Central Truth: You are set free by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and so you are justified and given a new status that has no trace of your sins and wrong doings. You're not an ex-convict!

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 5:21
Further Study: Romans 8

PRAYER:
LORD, give me a deeper understanding of this eternal reality. I Praise you because I'm set at Liberty to live the life of Righteousness as aided by your Spirit in Jesus Name.
...........
Ask that God makes real all He is revealing to us. In the end the vision will certainly speak. Keep praying for our Launching for November 21.

THE GLORY


The sun is at the centre of the universe and all the planets revolve around it. The moon directly receives it's light from the sun. The scriptures describes man as the image and glory of God and the woman as the glory of the man. So, it is the extent of the glory the man carries that the woman can reflect. So every wife you see today is a reflection of the husband.

Now, you're most likely not married just like me. However, you must begin to prepare yourself for that phase of life. As a Man you're a glorious being and as such  your life must show it. As a man do you have a relationship with God,  have you grasped your purpose, what is your life about?  What glory can be seen in you? A woman is a Blessed creation of God, she is a multiplier, she produces much more than she's given. If you live a reputable life she would magnify that for the world to see. Remember the virtuous woman? It says "her husband is KNOWN in the gates"

As a wife to be, understand that you must fit into the life of your spouse and as such you must seek for the expression of your assignment in life in the context of his own. Stand in your place fully in destiny. You are precious to God. You can't afford to marry a man who doesn't carry the glory of God. Watch and Pray!

Central Truth: Who you are will reflect through your spouse  much more than through you.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 11:7

PRAYER:
LORD, help me as a man to begin to live a glorious life.
Help me Lord to understand my purpose as a woman and wife to be in Jesus Name.

God is raising a new army in these days. The future is here and we must seize it. Pray along with us for the Launching of our NGO.

THINK

There's a book by Napoleon Hill titled Think and Grow Rich. I was in a business centre once and a man saw me with the book. He said he had been thinking but he wasn't yet rich. Later on I began to realise that what most people do is worry and ruminate about the things that aren't right. They're not necessarily thinking. Any thoughtful process always brings positive result.

Proverbs says "for as he thinks in his heart, so is he" . You are equal to the thoughts that you think. The charge today is to engage the mind of Christ which we have access to its operations, through the Word of God. You can't fill yourself with the Word and not be transformed. Let your thoughts flow with the abundance of God's word and not the abundance of news that flies around.

You're rich in glory, crowned with honor and you're destined an eternal excellency. It is as you plant the Word deliberately in your heart that you experience a change. While ministering in my School Fellowship some weeks ago, I made mention of the fact that every believer must have a confident expectation of Good. One thing that God's word does to your mindset is that it makes you know that whatever happens to you must result in a positive testimony.

So think the thoughts of God.

Central Truth: Your thoughts affect your life. Watch it.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 23:7

CONFESSION:
My Thoughts are refined by the Word.
I'm not carried away by what I hear and see.
I discipline my mind to think pure, just, true and virtuous thoughts.
My Life is continually transformed as I absorb God's word daily.

TRUST IN GOD


I've come to understand that we don't need a bigger God to solve a bigger problem. Rather all we need is to remember the faithfulness of God in past victories and trust him to wrought a new one for us.

When we trust in God, everything looks little. Many times we talk about our problems instead of talking to them. God has said "I will give you a mouth and a wisdom which no adversary can gainsay or resist". When you begin to place your trust in God more you would have more boldness to speak to the challenges of life rather than letting them overwhelm you.

Do you trust God? I love the story of the Children of Israel. Do you know many years after they passed through the red sea, the generations that came after still refer to that miracle? It was in their prayers, traditions, it had become something they could always remember when there was something coming against them.

One way to learn to trust God no matter what happens is to always remember what He has previously done. In the psalms it is written "They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever".

Central Truth: Trust God. He will bring everything in your life to fulfilment.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: Psalm 125:1

PRAYER:
LORD, help me to never take my eyes off you. Let me always remember your goodness towards me in Jesus Name. Amen

God is raising a new generation of leaders  in this end time. Through His grace we are being positioned to have a part in this. Keep praying for our Launching.
