 *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…

START WITH PRAYER.

 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Psalm 90:14 Starting the year in prayerlessness is a very dangerous move to make. From the scripture above, we see David placing a demand on God in the place of prayer for early satisfaction. He is asking God God to satisfy him early with mercy. Why was he specific by adding "early" and not just saying oh Lord satisfy us with your mercy? The mistake most of us make in our prayer, is failure to be specific and detailed in our prayer. The demand for earl satisfaction will result to early accomplishment and achievements. Now is the time for you to learn this wisdom from David and tell the Lord that you desire to be satisfied early in 2021 with his mercy, favour, goodness, presence, wisdom, success and vision. Halleluyah! Lateness and delay is when the achievement of January is accomplished in December. May you not be found sleeping while your mate are succeeding, maximising their year and prosperin...

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 ...

THE POWER IN YOUR TONGUE

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21) Your words decide your fate. If you confess starvation over you life, God will not overrule it because you have what you say. The power of what you say cannot be overemphasized. When the world is speaking its own language, learn to speak from heaven because you are from above and you are above all. When you learn to speak God's word over your situation, you are superimposing what God has said over every contrary situation in your life. When you do this, the lesser power is bound to bow. Beloved, when we make confession of God's promises, it is not a play of words. As you make these confessions, you are speaking life to yourself. And your situation is obligated to change for the better. " Keep saying what you want until the things you see becomes what you are saying". Always remember that the strategy of the devil is to put you under extreme pressure so th...
