Every one who is brought into rulership must be equipped with a dimension of wisdom in order to operate on that level. In today's session, we begin to look at the wisdom required for rulership.
Our first monthly prayer
Every time God speaks to us, He speaks from a realm where all things are already done. However, in order for us to experience in our lives what God has done, we must accept and welcome it as a present reality not as a future expectation. This is what reckoning is - accepting as a present reality the revelation of your identity in God.
Today, we delve deeper into what it means to "reckon"
Have you tried to picture how upset and frustrated the elder brother must have felt at the welcoming of his brother in the parable of the prodigal son as told by Jesus? He must have felt cheated and disadvantaged, only to be told that all the father had was his all along.
The greatest disservice a believer can do to themselves is to remain unaware of their true identity in Christ and all that they have been licensed to experience in Him.
Today, we start a new teaching series titled Identity Reckoning. it is aimed at awakening the believer’s consciousness to our identity in Christ so that we can experience what God has already prepared for us.
"Discernment" may sound like a "deep" experience reserved for the super spiritual - but it's not. It is an experience every believer can (and should) operate in because it's powered by the Holy Spirit bearing witness within us. Today we learn how the Spirit bears witness with our spirit.
Not every “good” thing is from God. Adam and Eve were instructed not to eat of a particular tree in the garden, even though it was the tree of the knowledge of "good" and evil. So there’s a “good” that isn’t from God. That's why not every breakthrough, open door, job, or relationship is from God. However, everything God does is GOOD. You need discernment to be able to differentiate what is from God versus what is “good”. Looking beyond the surface to testing the spirit that sponsors the experience. In this session, we begin to uncover how to discern things by their spiritual nature and not just the accuracy of facts.

In this September's episode of our monthly prayer, we spend time praying for a discerning heart to distinguish right and wrong, light to expose any form of deception in our lives and sanctification of our desires so we won't fall prey to deception.
Join in for this power packed prayer session
When the enemy tells a lie, he presents it in such a way that it resembles the truth. Someone once said "the devil only tells lies when it's almost the truth". The Bible instructs us to "Test all things" because there are several spirits counterfeiting as the spirit of God. In today's session we begin to see three practical ways we can discern things.

More than ever before, believers need to grow in their discernment. The Bible instructs us to "Test all things and hold on to what is good" 1 Thessalonians 5:21. Testing all things requires discernment. It is through discernment we are able to differentiate the Spirit of God and His operations versus the spirit of the enemy and his operations.
In today's session we lay the foundation of what discernment is and why it is important for every believer to be discerning.
Paul closes out on the first epistle to the Thessalonians by giving some instructions to guide the Christian experience. In verse 16 of 1 Thessalonians, he said "Rejoice Always". This singular instruction has so much transformative power that we can't ignore.
Join us as we dive into the impact of rejoicing always - especially at a time when there are more reasons to worry than to rejoice.
There's no telling how much God can do in and through a man of prayer. Our Bible studies in this month of August have been filled with teachings on how to grow spiritually, as well as become "God's man".
Prayer is one sure way through which God works out His purposes in and through our lives. Today being the last Tuesday of the month, we spend spend time praying and trusting God to work out His purposes in our lives and make us men and women He can count on to fulfil His will on the earth.
When God appeared to Abraham in Gen 17, He introduced Himself as the ALMIGHTY (El-Shaddai). This elaborate introduction was intended to introduce Abraham into an economy in God where all things are possible. However, for Abraham to partake of this economy he had to subscribe to the covenant of circumcision.
This is still valid today, however, circumcision for us is not physical. According to Phil 3:3, circumcision is the state of the heart where you put no confidence in the flesh - your earthly credentials. When you get to the end of yourself, that is the beginning of God.
Have you ever heard the phrase “Come as you are”? I find it so interesting that something as precious as salvation is available to any and everybody, regardless of who you are or where you’ve been.
However, that is only the beginning of the journey. The goal is for the man who has come as they were to mature into the stature of the fullness of Christ, to become God’s Man.
“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:” Ephesians 4:13
The man that will do great things for God must wholeheartedly go through the dealings of God to become the very man God desires him to be.
Several years ago, I was timid and shy. So timid that I found it difficult to defend myself if wrongly accused. In fact, instead of speaking up, I’ll just start crying. My parents knew this was not good and if unaddressed, I might eventually grow up timid. So, they had a brilliant idea to send me to military school. This wasn’t the easiest decision for me and my parents, but in retrospect it turned out to be a very helpful one. The environment was wasn’t like my cozy home. It was full of regiments, discipline and trainings. Though it was uncomfortable, it made me grow.
This experience is similar to what happens when God allows us go through situations that stretch us. He wants us to “let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:4 NKJV
Today, we continue this conversation on Spiritual Growth, taking a look at Joseph and drawing lessons from his story.
In Heb 5:14, the Bible lets us understand the those who are spiritually mature are those who through practice have exercise their senses to discern both good and evil. Discernment means the ability to see things the way God sees them. For us to grow in our discernment, we must go through exercise. An exercise is typically an uncomfortable experience that ultimately makes us better. This is what God allows us to go through in order to develop us.
In today's study we God's pattern for growth and maturity in the believer's life.
The Bible lets us know that God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. In fact, God has also already given us all things we need for life and godliness. So why does it seem like believers' lives don't reflect the promise of God. One major reason is spiritual growth. Without spiritual growth, we lack the skill and stamina to handle the Word of God till in works in our lives. Whenever there is gap between our identity as revealed in scriptures and our character, it is an indication of the need to grow.
This new series begins the conversation on Spiritual Growth. What it is, indication of growth, how we can grow etc.
In the wedding at Cana of Galilee where Jesus performed His first miracle, Mary His mother gave us insight into the secret of the supernatural: "whatever He tells you to do, do it". It is only as we do what He tells us to do that we see His power flow as evidence of His commitment to us. Our obedience to God's instruction is the bridge between His power and our needs. It is the conductor through with the power of God flows.
In today's session, we dive deeper into how we can partner with God for the supernatural through Obedience
The first time words were used in scriptures was for creation. God said "Let there be... and there was". In the same manner, we can create possibilities with our words - taking the word of God on our lips and making prophetic declarations. When we do this we partner with God for His will to manifest in our lives.
Even though God desire is to experience His best and work on the supernatural, yet it seems His operations in our lives are limited to the extent our minds permit him.
You will always produce what your mind embraces, even if it is contrary to your nature. Your mind is like a thermostat, it regulates the “temperature” of your life.
Every time God desires to express His will on earth, He does it through a person. So God works for us through us. That's why He said to the Israelites "You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces; With you I will destroy kingdoms;” Jeremiah 51:20 NKJV.
God wants us to experience the supernatural, but it would happen with us in partnership. So today, we begin to see 4 ways we can partner with God for the supernatural in our lives.
