DEALING WITH NEAR-SUCCESS SYNDROME

When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without. (Hosea7:1)

Just when God was about to heal Israel the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered and the wickedness of Samaria was also discovered. The big question is, why were these things not discovered after the healing, why must it be discovered at the set time of their breakthrough. This has been the experience of many today. There are people under the attack of near- success syndrome. The spirit that attacks progress and breakthroughs. It is a spirit that has stopped many from from eating the fruit of their labour. The children of Israel were so close to their healing when all of a sudden the unexpected happened. These are time sensitive attacks.

This was what David meant in (Psalm59:3);"see how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, Lord"). They lie in wait for that moment you are about to get the reward and harvest of your toil, then they attack. I remember the story of a young man while in the medical school was doing very well, graduated as the best medical student. Just within 24 hours after graduation from medical school, was inflicted with madness and all plans to enable him regain his sanity proved abortive and he died in the process. Many weddings have been cancelled due to this attack, many great destinies have been truncated due to this spirit. Today I decree that your freedom has come in Jesus name Amen. You must possess your possessions; you will finish that which you have started in Jesus name Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: Nahum 1:9, Psalm 7:9

PRAYER:
1. Every power fighting my next level is silenced now in Jesus name.
2. I take authority against every power assigned to stop me at the point of breakthrough in Jesus name.
I reign over every resisting force against my progress and advancement in Jesus name Amen.

PRAYER OF SALVATION
I believe you have been blessed by this devotional. I invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying now; Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ, I believe you died for me and resurrected for my justification. Today, I confess with my mouth that I accept Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior, I receive forgiveness of all my sins. I'm born again. Thank you Lord for the salvation of my soul Amen.

LISTEN TO GODS' VOICE TODAY

"Today if you hear God’s voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against Him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against Him in the desert.” (Hebrew 3:15). God speaks to his creation at all times. As we read the bible we see instances where God spoke to unbelievers, example; Saul,  Nebuchadnezzar etc. Jesus spoke to the wind and it obeyed him, He also spoke to the fig tree. How much more you his child. It is an error for you to say you can’t hear his voice.  Jesus speaking in..…John 10:27 said; “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”  As Gods' children, we have the capacity and the ability to hear His voice. But the challenge is; a lot of us do not pay attention and listen to what God is saying. Probably because we are waiting to have the Saul’s encounter of a voice speaking from heaven (Act 9:4). God speaks to us in our spirit with a small still voice. Prophet Elijah had an encounter with this voice… II Kings 19:12 -13 “...and after

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THEIR THREAT

But that it spreads no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. Acts 4:17 There are people who live relatively free from persecution even though they may have experienced some mockery, ridicule or ostracism because of their beliefs. One thing we must never do is to fear punishment or death, although some Christians elsewhere in the world are killed for their faith. From the scriptural text, we noticed that Peter and John were threatened for proclaiming the gospel, but here is their response in Acts 4:20; "Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than Him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard". (NLT) Our goal as believers is to become unshakable in our faith. Peter and John didn't flinch from their responsibility to proclaim salvation in Jesus name even in the face of imprisonment and threats. Yet, in reading this account, we may wonder how we could ever endure persecutio

CHOOSE TO SEEK GOD EARLY.

 O God, you are my God, early will I seek you;  my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1 The choice to seek God early is the key to timely accomplishments in life. Many often miss their set time and season because of their unwillingness to seek God early. The psalmist said early will I seek thee. Don't wait for the worst to happen before you seek him.  As we begin this New Year, now is the time for you to prayerfully seek the face of God, listen to his instructions, enquire from him and receive God's vision for your life this year. Be intentional about your success this year. Take responsibility for your life. Be determined and committed to seek God early before you make any decision or conclude on anything this year. Those who seek God early can never arrive late and those who seek Him first can never be last. I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you this year in all you do. No matter the pressure and challen
