''That I may know you''.

 

“That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection” (Philippians 3:10) is more than a scripture—it is a prayer of daily alignment with God.

When the Holy Ghost comes and quickens our minds and spirits, we begin to realize that Jesus can be seen in everything around us. Creation itself bears witness to Him. The beauty of creation reveals that there is a Supreme Being who designed all things. Nothing simply comes into existence by chance; creation points back to the Creator.

Romans 1:20 (KJV) 

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”

This is why our regular prayer should be that the Lord quickens our minds—to comprehend His Word, t and even His spoken instructions to us. The Lord often speaks in parables (Matthew 13:13). He shows us things and then watches to see our willingness to search them out.

Scripture tells us, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter” (Proverbs 25:2). In the process of searching, the spirit of wisdom is activated. The Holy Spirit begins to impress His thoughts upon us—“For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16). He thinks through us.

Quickening is a process. You grow in it. “But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). So do not be in a hurry. Stay with the Word until understanding comes. It is the Word you truly know that you will stand upon in the day of challenge—“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).

Let our daily prayer be:
“That I may know You and the power of Your resurrection” 
Lord, quicken my mind to see You, to sense You, and to comprehend what You reveal to me.

Stay revived.

God Wants to Be Your Partner

Whenever I read the Psalms and hear David speak of God with such intimacy—almost like a lover—I used to struggle with that posture. God as my lover? It felt distant, even unfamiliar.

But today, during my commute to work, I reflected on the bond between a husband and wife, and something became clear: this is exactly the kind of relationship God desires with us.

He longs to be the Husband; we become His bride.

Jesus reveals Himself as our Bridegroom—a partner who gives us room to choose, yet keeps His arms open wide, always whispering, “You can always come back to Me.”

He speaks in gentle whispers of devotion:
“I am able to love you like no other.”
“I care for you with a tenderness beyond words.”
“I see you, and I know you more deeply than you know yourself.”

I find myself yearning for such a lover. This deep oneness with the Divine is why God uses the analogy of marriage when speaking of His relationship with the Church. He desires a marriage of true minds.

In my African culture, the groom pays a bride price, and from that moment, two lives become one. Jesus did the same. He paid our bride price with His very life, and now He asks, “Can we be one?”

Still, He continues to woo us:
“I want to be the rhythm in every love song you dance to.”
“I love better than any soul on earth. I know how to give the purest kind of love.”
“Would you give Me a chance to love you?”

I am not yet married, but I am told that when a woman marries the one she loves, a certain radiance rests upon her—a glow that cannot be hidden. Jesus gives the best glow of all.

David captures this intimacy perfectly when he declares:
“O Lord, You have searched me and You know me.” — Psalm 139:1

Stay revived !

The Violence Required for a Victorious Life

There is a certain kind of violence required for a believer to emerge into a glorious destiny. A victorious life is not accidental—it is enjoyed by those who understand and respond to spiritual realities with intention and force.

Scripture tells us plainly: “From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of God suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12).

This is not a call to physical aggression, but a revelation of spiritual posture.

There is no neutral ground in the spirit. You are either advancing or retreating. You are either enforcing God’s will or passively allowing opposition to prevail. If you do not stand in faith and prayer—requesting and demanding what God has already ordained—you may live far below His desires and intentions for your life.

The Violence Believers Must Embrace

The violence required of the believer is not against people, but against:

Bondage

Delay

Cycles and negative patterns

The works of darkness

This kind of violence is holy, intentional, and spiritual.

Violence is a strategy.

Violence is a posture.

It is the posture required to exercise your priesthood as a believer. Heaven responds to spiritual insistence. Until you become restless, the yoke will not fall. Until you rise with resolve, certain patterns will continue unchecked.

Saying “No More”

There comes a point when you must draw a line and say, “No more.”

Agony is not normal.

Delay is not normal.

Sickness is not your portion.

Spiritual blindness is not your inheritance.

When believers tolerate what Christ has already conquered, they empower oppression unnecessarily. Freedom demands resistance.

I bring a reawakening call—to move in step with the Spirit who presides over your altar. Heaven is not silent; it is waiting for alignment, obedience, and spiritual aggression rooted in faith.

Be spiritually violent.

Enforce the victory of the Cross.

For Jesus is freedom.

Stay revived!

‎PRECISION — A CLEAR-CUT MARK‎

‎"...If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." - James 1:5 

‎

‎“If any lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives liberally.”

‎

‎Recently, I took up a new project. After working on it for a while, I became stuck—burnt out and overwhelmed. I went to sleep worried, pondering what to do next. Somewhere between sleep and wakefulness, the Holy Spirit spoke to me: Search out a scripture for your need and bring it to God.

‎

‎And the scripture that dropped into my spirit was this:

‎“If any lacks wisdom…”

‎Those very first words kept echoing in my mind—over and over again.

‎How do you deal with life’s issues?

‎How do you handle moments when it feels like, “I’m definitely going to regret this choice”?

‎

‎I’ve often heard it said that God never created us to do life independent of Him. Even after creating Adam and Eve, He still came into the garden to walk with them, to talk with them, and to instruct them in the way they should go.

‎

‎Perhaps He knew they could become overwhelmed if He didn’t visit them—if He didn’t give them a template for navigating the life He had entrusted to them.

‎That divine guidance gave humanity a clear-cut way to live. Adam knew his responsibility—to name the animals and every living creature. They understood timing, purpose, and order because the Spirit of the Lord placed within them a clear-cut mark.

‎

‎I often find myself asking, “What’s your point exactly?” in conversations I struggle to follow. But have we truly taken the journey of asking God:

‎“What is the clear-cut mark?”

‎“How do I build this new business?”

‎“How do I move in this season?”

‎Yes, I know I’ve attended great schools. Yes, I have knowledge. But is there a wisdom—hidden in the wells of God—that can give me not just a mark, but the mark?

‎

‎Precision.

‎That is what God has been whispering in my spirit. And He is saying:

‎“This is what I want to give you in this new month. I want you to hit the mark for this season.”

‎What is that thing that has left you exposed—slipping through every shade of defenselessness?

‎God is asking:

‎Is there a wisdom that you lack?

‎Ask of Me, for I am the One who gives liberally.

‎Come to the liberal Giver today.

‎Come to the Giver who withholds nothing.

‎

‎Stay revived!

‎
