POWER FOR DOMINION

This year is declared to be our year of dominion and please note that without opposition, there cannot be a need for dominion.

Dominion is a prove that there is an opposition. When God told Adam be fruitful, multiply, replenish and subdue, he knew the devil was there. The devil that would disinherit him, God knew he was there, nobody will tell him to rule if there is nothing to rule and that is why I want us to walk in consciousness, if it is said that this is your year of dominion is because God has sense opposition ahead and that is why I believe  God will establish your dominion. Heaven will establish your dominion. When the holy ghost said this year shall be our year of dominion it mean is going to be a year of victory inspite the oppositions and known to God that all is works from the beginning of the earth.

Opposition only answers to one thing and that is power and there are forces that I believe may be trying to contend with your place in destiny but  God is bringing them down. Like I said opposition only have regard for power and he has no regard for grammar. The bible says ‘’ Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee’’ - Psalm66:3; and not through the greatness of your grammar. He has no respect for certificate and he doesn’t have no respect for history. Oh i have been a believer for 20 years, you are welcome and that is irrelevant, I have been long as a believer and I got born again since 1960 you are welcome or I have gone to Harvard, I cross over to Cambridge and I finished in oxford, they say you are welcome. Opposition has no respect to all those certificate, you may have degree like thermometer, it has nothing to do with what we are talking about ,Jesus said to peter; I will make you fishers of men that by destiny, but that divine plan did not come to until he received divine power of the spirit to match,before it became a reality  , But   Before then,there was a contention over his life and that is why Jesus said to him; Satan has desired to have you but I pray that your faith faileth and am not praying that the devil never come, let him come but your faith faileth not but if your faith is on  fire,Satan is doom. Am not talking about the place where they have prayed for you now but you must come to the place where you have certain convictions established in your spirit man by revelation because it is your revelation that can change your situations. Things that is happening to you and which is contrary to what is written in the word of God. It is your understanding that is rooted in the word of God to tell yourself these things that is happening is not the determining factors of my life.

You have to rule things from the inside because it is the inward man that rule the outside life. Things around you are negative but what is inside you is positive and that is from inside you, you control outside so it is what you have inside that determine your destiny irrespective of what you have outside you, it is what you have inside that determine what happen next. Jesus speaking to peter and said; I pray for that your faith will not fail. And that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Who you are listening to will determine your faith. Please note that your tomorrow is bright.

On the day of Pentecost when power came, that was the day the vision ‘’you shall be fisher of men came to reality’’ without power, no matter the clarity of your vision and your dream and your plans it will never see the light of the day. You will have dream but it will still remain in the womb because the power it takes to transfer it from the invisible to the visible is not there. You must be willing to accept personal responsibility for your desire destiny. You must move from the realm of who will pray for you to the realm of doing it myself and that am going to pray into relevance. In this month of November, let’s look forward for the empowerment of the spirit to establish our dominion and there will be no need for dominion if there are no oppositions, since opposition answer to power then it means there is no dominion without power. Dominion thrives on power. Power is the only credentials that establish dominion. You can’t have dominion without power so this month, let’s look forward for supernatural empowerment to establish dominion. Like I said, it takes power to command dominion, without power dominion cannot be in view. I want us to know that you have to be empowered to operate in dominion and this great journey of dominion; one of the spiritual things to operate in dominion is through empowerment. To be in dominion is to be in charge and I believe that we are coming to that level in Jesus name Amen.

Psalm 110:1-3; ‘’The lord said unto my lord, sit thou at the right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the days of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth’’ KJV

The days of his power will precede the days of his coming. So if you don’t have enemies what are you going to rule? If you have enemies, they are your potential subject so for you to now be running from your enemies are evidence you lack understanding of your place. If enemies are not there, what will you rule? Nothing. Daniel rules in the midst of den of lion so please note that you are lion in the midst of your enemies. You belong to the tribe of the lion of Judah . So before the day Jesus must come back here, power must be in demonstration. Please take your place ,because it is your heritage to walk in power or else the devil will make a mess of your destiny.

 Rule thou in the midst of crap spirit people. The bible says you should rule, your enemies shouldn’t die you must rule. That is you will have those things you desire inspite of witches and wizard that are crafted in the heart. When you say I am travelling and wish you never came back but you came back and bought gift to all of them, you are ruling in the midst of your enemies and that is where your destiny is.

Act13:8, Act13:4-11; please note that you can be sent of God and still be resisted.

1cor2:15;’’ he that is spiritual judges all things’’ The level of power you carry determine the level of dominion you command. Psalm66:7, you must drink into power. Power is wrapped up in one personality called the Holy Spirit. There is an invitation the Holy Spirit cannot resist and that is in Isaiah51:1

Luke 24:49, Act1:8, isa55:1, Jh7:37-39.

Understand that the key to receiving this power dimension is desperation. Genuine thirst is what determines his response to your desire. That you speak in tongues only shows you are man of the spirit but does not indicate level of power you operate in. Speaking in tongues make you a candidate of the spirit. You are to desire that power before it produces evidences.

You cannot walk in higher dominion until you are more empowering than where you are now. Because power is in levels; you carry a measure now and that measure presently determine the power of your dominion. You need to walk in higher dimension of power. The moment power come that is the time your dominion is to be established. Every true rise will always generate envy. You need to ask God to empower you as a person and if you don’t ask for it God will never give you. Powers are in levels and dominions are in levels. The realm where they hear you, it takes power to get there.

Power is robbed in dominion and the Holy Ghost is the fountain of power

Isaiah41:17-20, Isaiah44:3

Luke3:21-22, luke4:1, luke4:14, luke4:18, 28-30 luke9:28-35

Anointing is a journey. Jesus returns in the power of the spirit unto Galilee. Please understand       There is power of the spirit

There is wisdom of the spirit

There is understanding of the spirit

There is might of the spirit

There is counsel of the spirit

There is insight of the spirit

Don’t be satisfied in the level of speaking in tongues and you need to change level to the higher level and it takes power to get there. Take your time and ask God for power in the night, day. You need desperation for spiritual encounter. It is not your cry but your thirst that generate power. Only those who desire power will deserve it

VICTORY OVER DESTINY PREDATORS

Brethren, I would like to believe that you have increased your wisdom level ten-fold this month via the various teachings on Wisdom.

This teaching will give you insight into gaining victory over destiny predators.

A man’s journey in life takes him through different stages and phases.  At each phase, at each new step there is always a predator waiting to ensure that success is not achieved.

For example, Pharaoh posed a deterrent to the liberty of the Israelites until God rose up and delivered them from their bondage.

The Blood of Christ is one of the most important weapons in the armoury of a Christian.  The blood of Christ as a weapon,  should never be taken for granted. 

The blood of Christ is what determines life or death, being stagnant or being a success in life.

The blood of Christ is, In the kingdom of God every rising of a child of God is rooted in the blood of Christ.  In the same vein, all of the ability to overcome predators of destiny is rooted in the blood. 

What does the blood stand for?

Redemptiom -  Eph 1:7; Isaiah 63:4

Peace   -  Colossians 1:20

Atonement – Leviticus 17:11

Mercy -  Romans 5:9

Divine Protection -  Exodus 12:12-14

 

How do we apply the blood?

The blood is applied by sprinkling. 

The blood is also an effective healer and can be applied through the taking of the Holy Communion.

 

Brethren,  begin to cause havoc in the camp of the enemy by using the weapon of the blood.  Heaven is on your side.

 

God Bless you.

WISDOM SECRETS FOR BUILDING SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

Marriage can be likened to a house, and every house is built by men, using certain building materials. Wisdom is a good quality material for building your marriage and home.

Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

Proverbs 24:3

What is wisdom? Wisdom is knowing which way to go. It is knowing how to handle situations and make them produce your  desired results. Wisdom is knowing how to make it in life. When you know how to make things work in your family, you’re walking in wisdom.

Your marriage can be steady and strong, it can be an example for others to follow. There fore the foundation of your family must be laid in wisdom.

When Solomon wanted to establish the kingdom God gave him. So, when God appeared unto him and told him to ask for whatever he wanted, he asked for wisdom to rule God’s people, and God gave it to him (I Kgs. 3:9,12).

You cannot blame God or anyone else for what your home looks like. If it is not the haven you thought it would be, then you have a responsibility to search for a solution. Why becos  God’s Word clearly says:

For every house is builded by some man…

#Hebrews 3:4

Wisdom is also the correct application of knowledge. So, before you can walk in wisdom, you must locate the knowledge of the Word and apply it.

God has made provisions for marriage to produce good for you and I, but we have a responsibility to develop that plan. It is like the negative film of a picture. The photographer must spend time in the darkroom developing the negative and come out with a beautiful picture. A negative must be developed before it becomes enviable.

Stop shifting blame. Accept that you are the builder of your marriage. God has provided the wisdom to build with. Be diligent and get down to work! There is no prize for the slothful (Eccl. 10:18).

Building a house is not as simple as ABC. It takes planning!

For which one of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

#Luke 14:28-30 

 

Intending couples must sit down during courtship and contact revelations for outstanding

Houses are of different sizes and shapes. The taller, more beautiful houses require more preparation, a deeper foundation, and they cost more. You must first desire a tower, before you can plan to build one. Don’t enter marriage without an expectation. If you expect the best, it will be yours (Prov. 23:18).

 I discovered that the root cause of  some  people problems is their wrong idea about marriage. Your expectation would not be cut off.

God has promised to grant your expectations, whether good or bad. So, let your expectations be based on God’s Word, for it is higher than any evil experience or information you may have had or heard about marriage (Prov. 10:24).

EXPECT BETTER LIFE NOT BITTER EXPERIENCE OF PEOPLE

Ecc4:9-If the word says two it’s better than one,expect a Better life in marriage and get ready to experience it

If you are already married, there is still a chance to change all negative expectations. As a couple, discuss your positive expectations and I guarantee that things will work out more smoothly in your home.

Unmarried ladies and young men, what do you expect in marriage? Your expectations shall not be cut off! Before you got married, you should made discoveries from God’s Word that will paint the picture of a great future.

Genesis 13:13-15-GOD CANNOT GIVE WHAT YOU HAVE NOT SEEN.

 

Become A Doer Of The Word

Every house is as strong as it’s foundation. The blueprint is our expectation. The foundation is then laid according to the plan in the blueprint. If your expectation is to enjoy the honour in marriage, it follows that you will have to begin to do what makes for honour. The doing of the Word of God is the laying of a foundation for a fulfilled family life.

Knowledge is in hearing; but it is mere information until it is put to practice. Simply knowing the Word of God is not enough, applying it is what makes it produces for you (James 1:22).

Just like a builder puts block upon block, you put line upon line, precept upon precept of God’s Word into building your home.

When you have contacted God’s Word for every part of your family, and begin to do it,

Matthew7:24-26.-You are building a crisis proof marriage, BECOS you are Building on the  on the rock,that is MARRIAGE ON THE ROCK

there will be times when you will come face to face with challenges. At such times, sit down first and allow the Holy Spirit to quicken a scripture in your heart. The more of God’s Word that is stored up in your heart, the more restful you will be. Then there will be no trouble you cannot triumph over, nor trial that will not become a testimony. 

 

The process of building requires the counting of cost (Lk. 14:28). There is a cost for peace, a cost for love, a cost for submission, a cost for fulfilment!

Before you quarrel with your spouse over any issue, count the cost of your actions and reactions. Many times when you are angry, you say things you later come to regret. But if you learn to count the cost of the words you speak, peace will rest in your home (Prov. 15:1-2).

Operating In Wisdom (For Men)

There’s nothing of beauty that didn’t take some work to put in place. Just like every beautiful garden was tended before it became beautiful, and must continue to be tended if it must remain beautiful; in like manner, marriage must be tended before it can work, and must continue to be tended to continue working.

As a husband, the Bible instructs you to dwell with your wife according to knowledge. I like the way the Amplified version puts it:

In the same way you married men should live considerately with (your wives), with an intelligent recognition (of the marriage relation), honoring the woman as (physically) the weaker, but (realizing that you) are joint heirs of the grace (God’s unmerited favor) of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered and cut off. (Otherwise you cannot pray effectively.)

1 Peter 3:7 (Amp. Bible) 

 

When a man understands the nature of his wife and works according to that understanding, problems are less likely to arise in their home. He puts less pressure on her because he realises that she is not a robot. She is a wife, mother and homemaker all at once, and these all place a demand on her. He must be considerate of her feelings and needs,and be available to minister to her.

The second clause, “giving honour unto the wife…” implies that wives are not to be treated as slaves or inferior human beings, but are to be held in respect. Their views should be sought and they should be allowed to make their contributions in the home.

When a man beats his wife he exhibits folly (Prov. 26:4). No matter how provoked, a man must never stoop so low.

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church.

Ephesians 5:29

Beating your wife is a sin against God. Being joined in holy wedlock, God sees the couple as one that’s why He called the man and his wife “Adam” (Gen. 5:2). It was Adam who gave his wife a separate name, Eve.

Statistics have shown that more than 85 per cent of marriages in the West involved wife battering. Husband, don’t turn your wife’s body to a punching bag! Remember that her body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Lack of communication and understanding among others are.some of the reasons some men abuse and beat their wives. The man must understand that the woman was given to him by God to take care of, not to beat.

Surprisingly, the role of the husband is drawn from that of Christ towards the Church, not from any human example. Thus, as we have mentioned earlier, the man must discover the selfless way Christ loved the Church and love his wife the same way, by God’s grace.

Don’t give up on your wife. Give her honour. Don’t render evil for evil, don’t seek to repay every.wrong with a wrong, for two wrongs don’t make a right. Jesus endured all contradictions of sinners. We too can overlook certain things just as He did.

Operating In Wisdom (For Women)

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

Proverbs 14:1

 

God, in His infinite wisdom, has planned one man for one woman. Every woman in God’s design has her own home. What becomes of that home, however, depends on the woman. This appears to be an awesome responsibility, but by the grace of God and hard work, it is accomplishable.

Abigail was a woman of wisdom, a woman with a good understanding.

Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and she was a woman of good understanding…but the man was churlish and evil in his doings…

ABIGAIL .

1 Samuel 25:3 -look at the example of Abigail .

It was  like  Abigail had made a mistake. The man she married was not what she expected. He was not a good man and they were definitely unequally yoked. Yet to have lived with him for all the years she did and got along without fighting or becoming like him in character, proved she was a woman of a wise heart. A time came when her churlish (bad mannered) husband provoked David. She mediated and saved her entire household and restrained David from avenging himself. Even if your spouse it’s not saved there is a wisdom in God to live peaceably your spouse.

Wisdom is undoubtedly the principal thing.

Learn To Adapt

I believe one wise step Abigail took was to adapt to the situation. Become adjusted to your husband have lived with him for all the years she did and got along without fighting or becoming like him in character, proved she was a woman of a wise heart. A time came when her churlish (bad mannered) husband provoked David. She mediated and saved her entire household and restrained David from avenging himself.

Wisdom is undoubtedly the principal thing.

Become adjusted to her husband’s plans, way of life, etc. This does not mean when he is going wrong you leave him or follow his ways. It simply means to be flexible to his decisions.

…Married women…adapt yourselves to them…

1 Peter 3:1 (Amp. Bible)

When he takes decisions that are different from your plans, see how you can work them out and fit in. Remember that as a believer, all things will work out for good, but you must heed the Lord’s instructions.

If he has certain weaknesses that you are strong in, help him;appreciate his good points, point out his mistakes in a kind and gentle way. Embrace wisdom, it will bring you to honour, it will promote you from mediocrity to greatness. It will make your home precious before God and men. Inside wisdom is direction, because wisdom is knowing what to do next and having a sense of direction. That sense of direction leads you to a place of distinction, a place of glorification.

When you operate in wisdom, your home begins to shine as gold. People cannot help but be attracted to you, just as the glitter of gold attracts people.

…A man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine…

Ecclesiastes 8:1

Knowing how to apply the knowledge of the Word of God is wisdom. It will help you to know how to speak positive and edifying words to your spouse, relate with your in-laws in genuine love, etc. Wisdom is therefore the principal thing for success in marriage. 

Wisdom for Academic Success

Activating the Spirit of Wisdom

Welcome to another teaching in the Wisdom series.  Tnis week I would like to share with you the keys to activating your God-given wisdom.

1st Corinthians 2 vs 6.  Wisdom is hidden that is why it has to be activated, it has to be stirred up.  It is in activating your God given wisdom that the beauty of your life begins to unfold.  When you become wise you are able to see into the deep, you are able to discern and grasp the things which God has prepared for those who love him.  As you begin to connect to your inner wisdom your glory will begin to spring forth in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

Wisdom is superior to intelligence.  Because it is what is revealed to you that makes you to shine.  It is wisdom that makes a man see treasure where another sees trash!.  Read Matt 11:19.  Success will always be the end result of any wise act.

How is Wisdom Activated ?

  • Praying in the Holy Ghost – this releases spiritual energy.
  • Soul Winning – This ignites the spirit of wisdom.  The more you propagate the gospel wisdom is increased in your life.

The seed is the Word of God.  It is the communication of the Word of Truth that increases might in your inner man to keep searching the deep things of God. 

Proverbs 11:25.  When you reach out to your fellow man what you sow into their lives comes back to your life as increase. Read Ephesians6:15– when you preach the Word you are gaining an armour of protection for you feet.  No one can intimidate you when you have on you the armour of God.  When a child of God shows no fear in the face of adversity, challenging times – be assured that he possess a wisdom that others cannot understand.

Make a decision to sell yourself out for God – divine wisdom will become as second nature to you.

Wisdom is all around us – be observant, be vigilant.  Ask God for wisdom, he will give it to you – James 1:5.

Wisdom shall break the yoke of shame and humiliation in our life this month In the Most Glorious Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

God Bless you!

For the full teaching please purchase the DVD or CD.

The Product of the Mantle of Wisdom

In this teaching I would like to reiterate the fact that Wisdom does not jump on you.  You have to make a demand for it!

Wisdom makes you ten times wiser than your fellow men.  Wisdom expresses in works not in words!

Wisdom is not an achievement it is an endowment!  Read Mark 6:2. Jesus still needed wisdom to operate in the realm of mighty works.

A wise man once said “well done, is better than well said”.  Wisdom can be defined as applicable knowledge.  Do not mistake intelligence for wisdom. Take for example, we see many great teachers and other professionals who are the best at what they do but whose lives are a total mess.  Wisdom can be described as “walking in God’s revealed ways”.

A wise person is happier and healthier and that is why the Bible describes wisdom as being priced “far above rubies”.  Money can finish or diminish but wisdom will subsist.  You also need wisdom to get you to your next level.

Read the book of Proverbs – this Book gives you a pictural view of wisdom emphasis on Proverbs3:13-18.

The wisdom of Daniel made kings bow to him.  Wisdom takes you from the floor to the throne.  Read Dan 5:11-end.  Wisdom gave Daniel relevance through three different regimes inBabylon. 

Keep this in mind – you may not be very much liked by your superiors and peers but if you have wisdom, they will respect and revere you for it.  It is the wisdom you possess that takes you to great heights. 

What is the recipe for Promotion ?

Wisdom.  Read 1 Sam 18:5.  It was Wisdom that took David from a lowly person to authority over men of war.  He was not liked by Saul, but because of the Wisdom he possessed he was sought after.

People may not like your faith, but they cannot deny the impact you make via the wisdom you possess!

Diligence.  Prov 22:29; Prov 12:24.  When you work smart you do not have to work too hard!  Combine brains and hands for  excellent results

Be Available.  David was available to Saul and behaved wisely.

Be an Excited Worker.  Joseph’s excitement got him out of prison.  Always have a smile on your face no matter what the challenge is!

Have Initiative .  Gen 41:48.

Be faithful and Loyal. 1 Sam 26:9

Get Wisdom and Allow her take you to your greater heights this month.

Bless You!
