 *ENLARGE YOUR CAPACITY*

 *1Sam 17:32*  And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

So many people are meant to be mega entrepreneurs, but have remained in the confines of that job where they work; after all, they are satisfied because they are guaranteed daily bread at the end of the day, thinking only about themselves. What about the people that God already connected to your destiny, that you should be paying their bills and salaries?

You must deliberately increase and enlarge your capacity for risk. The only regret most people have at the end of their lives is the regret of not trying, not daring. It is better to try and fail than not to try at all. The bible says though the righteous falls seven times, he will rise again. How can he fall if he has not been trying?

Listen, God is more excited with those who try and fail, than those who do not try at all, that was why God loved David despite his many weaknesses. David was  daring. God was looking for who to use, but David’s brothers and several others chickened out.

When David showed up, he didn’t care why or what they were running from, in fact, he was angered in his spirit because an ordinary uncircumcised philistine was defying the army of God. When David told Saul he was going to face Goliath, Saul thought he must be stupid, a mere teenager like him surely couldn’t bring a giant down.

David said to Saul, I am a risk taker; when the bear and lion came, I came after them. If I could take out these animals, then I can take out Goliath. David stepped out and put his life on the line.

God was proud of David even though he made several mistakes. Each time David missed it; he would clean up and move on. God loved David so much He referred to him as a man after His heart. Listen, the covenant always favors the risk takers.

To be continued…

THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER 2 DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE!

 "But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting". You may not know what the future holds and that is the more reason why you should hold unto the one who holds the future. God knows what lies ahead of us this year and as we connect with him through prayer and fasting he empowers us to overcome, prevail and win over every battle, challenges and attacks of the enemy that may come our way. From the Scripture above tells us about the response of Jesus to his disciples when they were faced with an impossible situation that has to do with a man whose son was sick. The disciples tried all they could but their efforts to heal the young man was not fruitful. When Jesus showed up, the seemingly impossible situation became possible. Jesus was able to heal the man's son. So the disciples were amazed and they asked Jesus why they couldn't do it.  I declare: May Jesus shows up in your marriage, shows up in your finances, family in the name of Jesus. Where your strength...

KEEP YOUR TONGUE AWAY FROM EVIL

As the Scripture says, “If you want to enjoy life and wish to see good times, you must keep your tongue from speaking evil and stop telling lies.  -1 Peter 3:10 (GNT) A lot of people desire not only to have a successful life, but also to enjoy life, but the reality is this; only few adhere to the principles that would eventually lead to having an enjoyable and productive life. From our scriptural text, we understand that one of the keys that guarantee access to an enjoyable life is to keep our tongue from speaking evil and to stay away from lies. Your life moves in the direction of your words. If you don’t like where your life is headed, then it is time to examine what has been coming out of your mouth. Any man that cannot have control over his tongue, cannot have control over his life as well. Proverbs 6:2 NIV says, “you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth". A lot of people have been trapped by the words they said. The struggle and ...

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses (I Timothy 6:12). In the journey of life, battles are not optional but mandatory. Even at birth, a child must be made to cry. At that point, he fights to overcome the force that wants to keep his lungs closed; so as to  live. Henceforth, various battles begin.  When one becomes born again, the dynamics of the fight changes. He will still fight but this time around it is a good fight. The bible calls it the “Good Fight of Faith”. The fight is a good fight; the weaponry is also a unique one, FAITH. So a believer fights the good fight of faith, this fight is  termed a good fight because the end is determined from the beginning. Victory is guaranteed at the end. It is a fight to be won. Halleluyah! It is like watching a replayed boxing match whose winner you already know. The same way, God is not bothered about what fight ...
