Avoid doubt< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

1Kings11:26-40, < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>12: 25-33

When God takes over on your behalf, do not overtake God. Jeroboam was installed by God. A prophet named Ahijah the Shilonite was sent by God to Jeroboam Òhe said to Jeroboam, ÒTake for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: ÔBehold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to youÓ(1King11:31). When it is said by God, it is done and settled. To unsettle it, set yourself out of His promise. God will never run out of mercy but man always runs out of His mercy. Why should an appointed officer of King Solomon be worried or attempting to overtake God in what God has said? Have you seen yourself in any of His promise? Relax and hope for the full manifestation of that promise. Do not try to rush it; add to it; take out of it; or threatened by anyone around or far from you. God will bring it to pass. In 1King12:26, and Jeroboam said in his heart, ÒNow the kingdom may return to the house of DavidÓ. Doubt began to set into Jeroboam; he wanted to build what was not being built by him. Ps. 127:1, unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. Spirit of doubt set into Jeroboam. Ask God to deliver you from every spirit of doubt. He has taken over your battle over 2000 years ago; He has given us victory but we continue to victimize our self. LORD, have mercy.   

Husband and wifeÉ avoid shame< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Gen.2:24-25, 19:1-26

ÒBut his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of saltÓ (Gen.19:26). < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>LotÕs wife looked back behind him. Have you been looking behind your partner when you should be looking forward together? It is dubious character for partners to be looking behind each other in a journey they are supposed to be looking forward together. It probably was not the first time that LotÕs wife had been looking back behind her husband. The bible said she looked behind him. The word of God says they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed (Gen.2:25). Relationship between wife and husband should be a naked one; a transparent relationship; not hide and seek one. When it falls short of sincere nakedness, shame becomes an inevitable result of one that is not naked. LotÕs wife was not naked to her husband and shame of becoming a pillar of salt became her portion from generation to generation. Are you a dubious character? How much have you been hiding away from your husband or wife? You have been keeping it all away from each other? Are you experiencing shame and you can not identify the source of this shame? You have been hiding it away from each other and nothing shameful has ever happened. It will not take forever before your sin finds you out. Ask for GodÕs mercy to intervene in every area of hide and seek between you and your partner. God does not over look sin.

Separation and sight< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Mark10:46-52, Acts9:1-19

Blind Bartimaeus was separated to self; no sight; sat by the road begging. He needed sight to see Jesus, he cried out for Jesus and was asked to shut up. Mk.11:48 then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, ÒSon of David, have mercy on me!Ó

He was on his own, separation and isolation distinguished his cry to be heard before the Lord. He gained JesusÕ attention. Jesus answered him and he received his sight. Having received his sight, he followed Jesus. Saul before he became Paul the Apostle, he lost his sight of the past when he answered the call of the Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 9:9, and he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank. By the lost of sight, he became separated. When you are in a situation that you can not see the old things, you cannot lay hands on old things like you would love to; you cannot eat what you are used toÉcount it a time of separation, a time to focus on Him that you cannot see with your physical eye, focus on Him that is more than able to provide all that you need to live a meaningful life. Know fully well that the season will pass and you will come out new, with a new direction from God and for God to be glorified in your life. Saul became Paul, Bartimaeus begin to see and follow the healer. Separation will get you sight- you cannot see Him and not follow Him. Consider your current situation that is cutting you off from all that you want to lay hands on and could not, as a time of separation with preparation to begin operation for His glory.

Fixation< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Gen.22:4, Psa.121, Acts 3:1-11

King David said I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help (Psa.121:1). Abraham through his journey constantly lifted up his eyes onto the LORD whenever the going was a challenge. During his journey to sacrifice Isaac, instead of looking back, on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place far off (Gen.22:4). A certain lame man from his motherÕs womb, sat at the gate of the temple called Beautiful fixed his eyes on Peter and John for his miracle. When you lift your eyes looking for a breakthrough, it becomes a fixationÉthat is you pay no attention to anything around you. Back it with expectation and it will bring a manifestation. Acts.3:5, so he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Where is your attention concerning the pressing need of your life? When you begin to give attention, expecting to receive it becomes a fixation. God is not against expectationÉyou can go ahead and insist on your miracle. The word describes Him as a miracle working God.

Pray this Prayer< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Exo.1:15-22

You have heard many times that the best defense is the best offense. Your best defense against all that have taken a stand of offense against your marriage; finances; health; and against your children is to go on your knee and ask that the fear of God reign and rule in the life of your oppositions. The powerful King of Egypt planned extinction for the Hebrew male. He commanded Hebrew midwives to kill every son born by the Hebrew women. Exo.1:17 Òbut the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive. Does that connect with your situation? With constant prayer, it is possible to pray for all opposition in our life that the fear of God should grip them so they will not stand against us nor rip us off the blessings of God. God in His goodness and mercy will turn around every attempt by opposition to subtract from you, into a multiplication. He did it for the Hebrew and they were multiplied in the face of an attempt to get them reduced. He is a faithful God.
