War with the prophetic word

It's been a prophetic week for me, and I would love to share this insight with you.

You see, it is not enough to receive a prophetic word or a blessing; you must be able to hold God to His Word. How do you do that? By taking that word back to God in prayer and praying it through with hope and faith until there is manifestation.

Prophetic words are the mind of God spoken to bring hope and keep you steadfast in your faith journey. However, to see the manifestation of prophecy, you must put your faith in place. Scripture says, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

You must set practical strategies that demonstrate your faith. A prophetic word will remain only a prophecy if you do not align your prayers, actions, and posture with it. Scripture says, "Do you see a man diligent in his work?" Diligence is required for manifestation.

You must be diligent in searching the Scriptures for words that align with the prophetic word you have received and consistently present them before God in prayer. That is how you war with a prophetic word.

Has God given you a word? Have you received a prophecy? That is wonderful and powerful. Now it is time to do the work:pray, believe, align, and persevere until there is manifestation.

Spirit-Enabled Times

We are living in a time when many things have moved away from established standards and godly norms. Morality is no longer guided by absolute truth; instead, people pursue whatever brings them satisfaction and personal pleasure. It was into a similarly uncertain world that Jesus spoke to His disciples about His departure. Yet, He did not leave them without hope—He promised to send the Holy Spirit.

The very first thing the Spirit did was enable them.

Enablement is one of the greatest gifts the Holy Spirit offers believers.

Despite it being a new month and a new week, I began this season feeling weary and tired—not emotionally, but physically. My body felt drained and overworked, even though I had done very little. 

As the day progressed, it became a concern to me. Why do I feel so exhausted?

So I began declaring God's Word over myself: I am strengthened by the Lord.

That is what God has offered us—enablement.

Therefore, I boldly declare that I can do all things, even when my circumstances suggest otherwise, because it is Christ who strengthens me. He enables us to have difficult conversations, to walk away from relationships that are not God-centered, to say no to opportunities that seem attractive but are not His will, and to choose the desires of the Spirit over the desires of the flesh.

God is our Enabler.

This season, the Lord desires to enable us to walk in alignment with His will. He understands that the devices of the crafty often come disguised as pleasure and self-gratification. The world teaches that the highest form of satisfaction is doing whatever feels good to you. Yet many times, our way is not God's way.

God is saying:

- Introduce Spirit-enabled conversations.

- Build Spirit-enabled marriages.

- Lead Spirit-enabled businesses.

- Influence Spirit-enabled organizations.

- Raise Spirit-enabled nations.

Acts 2:4 (GNT)

"They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak."

The Spirit's enablement is not about entering trances or creating dramatic displays. It is about God impressing His mind upon our minds and giving us the grace to speak and act according to His will. His thoughts become our thoughts through the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:18

"In those days I will pour out my Spirit on my servants, both men and women, and they will speak what God has revealed."

Today, go forth in the strength of Elohim.

Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord

There is trouble on every side, and sometimes you feel like running away and hiding. There's this song I love that says:

"There's trouble on every side, so I guess you want to run and hide. Your enemy is out for you, and you don't know why."

As a teenager, I sang those lyrics because they sounded nice. However, as I grew older, I began to understand them better. There are moments in life when the weight of challenges and troubles makes you want to run and hide. But how long can you keep running? The challenges of life do not operate on a timetable. If you run today, when will you return and run again?

When we look at the story of the Isrealites, we realise that they had been in bondage in Egypt for 430 years, waiting for deliverance. Then God brought as a deliverer and Moses came with God's message, many of them struggled to believe. They had become so accustomed to slavery that freedom seemed impossible. Looking at the Egyptians, they could not imagine a way of escape. Bondage had become their normal.

Yet God sent Moses with a word of hope and a message of God for Pharaoh. When they finally left and got to the red sea there were unable to cross because it was a sea and they were men not fishes, forgetting that God who had asked them to go through that route is willing to create a road and they said, you should have left as slaves, Moses response was thus.

Exodus 14:13-"And Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever

The Egyptian can be your troubled marriage.

 It can be your child.

It can be that job your are seeking.

it can be the breakthrough.

It can be any set back you are facing now.

But beloved I want to let you know that there is nothing too hard for God to do, tarry in prayer, do not back down for the Egyptians you see today you shall see them no more.

Do not normalise what God has paid the price for, rise up and take that posture of Surrender and ask him for a change, standing on his word.

STAY REVIVED!

Choosing life Again

The blessings of the Lord are without repentance. When God wanted to establish a covenant of blessing, He swore by Himself because there was no one greater by whom He could swear. This shows that our blessings are rooted in God’s covenant and His unfailing promise.

Hebrews 6:13–15 says:

“For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, ‘Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.’ And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.”

There are protocols to walking in the blessing of God. What God blesses is the work of your hands, therefore you must not remain idle while seeking His blessing. Get busy doing the right and appropriate things according to His will.

Many times, we become bound by the enemy because of ignorance concerning the covenant God made with our fathers. As a result, many believers live limited lives. Often, we choose the easy way of doing things, believing that if God is involved, everything should come easily without process, discipline, endurance, or obedience.

Because of ignorance, many make decisions that lead them into bondage, seeking after blessings that the enemy offers, blessings that ultimately lead to destruction and death. The broad way may appear attractive and easy, but destruction is at the end of it.

The Lord is once again calling us to choose life. Narrow is the way that leads to life, peace, and true fulfillment. Jesus said, “My peace I give unto you, not as the world gives.” which means there is a kind of peace tgat the world gives, but He said His peace surpasses all understanding and cannot be found in the temporary pleasures or shortcuts of the world.

Today, I want to remind you to choose life.

Choose obedience.

Choose truth.

Choose diligence.

Choose the narrow path that leads to everlasting life.
