TODAY'S MESSAGE
TOPIC:VICTORY IN COURAGE
KEYNOTE SCRIPTURE:NUMBERS 13:20
...And be ye of good courage,andbring ye of thye fruilt of the Land.
courage is the ability to face mountains,storms,,difficulties and oppositions.What you cannot face,you will never conquer.Your victory is only manifested in your courage.For you to have a breakthrough,fulfill your dreams and shine in your God given vision,you must be prepared to face difficulties,pains and oppositions.They are stepping stones to your destiny.Avoiding them means avoiding your destiny.The Goliath you face today determines the level of victory you will celebrate tomorrow.If you are afraid to face challenges in life then you must be ready to die as a mere man or woman.But if you have plans to be great and make impact in your world positively,then get set to handle challenges and oppositions.In my course of pastoringand ministering to people,i have discovered that folks have desires but between the time you concived your desire and the time when they come through,there is a process and there are principles you must apply in order get those desires come right.I will like to share a few with you in this message.
COURAGE
without courage there can never be victory.In the book of numbers chapter 13,the Lord instructed Moses to choose men among the people of Israel and send them to spy the land of Canaan where He was sending them to possess.Why?the reason is because God operates with principles and only by applying divine principles,we can walk with Him and be blessed.What you cannot see, you cannot recieve,therefore,God wanted a representative of Israel to step into that land for confirmation.Secondly,Moses gave them an instruction that they must bring with them the fruilts of the land.Though this was a dangerous adventure but I feel God was putting their courage to a test.He wanted them to see the giants and to see if they had the neccesary courage to enter into their land of destiny.Indeed the men of Israel saw the giants and brought back fruilts from the land.But the fear of the giants the saw consumed the hearts of ten of them and brought negative reports to the whole nation which made Israel to murmur agaist God and Moses and they fell in the wilderness and never entered into the land of promise exept Caleb and Joshua who refused to give up their courage to the devil.Here what Caleb said in Numbers 13:30,And Caleb stilled the people before Moses,and said,let us go up at once,and possess it,for we are well able to overcome it.Praise God! Caleb and Joshua had the right thinking,they knew the abilities within them and did not allow those giants to rub them of their destinies.
Friend,your victory,breakthrough,and success are in your courage if the devil could take away your courage,he has taken away your victory.Whatever God has given you to do,His ability is available for you to win.Whatever you can dream in God is possible,fight on.
DETERMINATION
..."For we are well able to overcome"These were the words of Caleb.
With God all things are possible.Only if you can determine to succeed in the midst of oppositions.You can bring your oppositions behind you and move on with you God given vision.
FOCUSE
In the pursuit of destiny,many folks get so confused and distracted for several reasons.Some get distracted when they experience delay and obstacles.Others get confused because what people tell them.You will have to stay focused and concentrate on what God has given you to do and not what others are doing.
FINISH
2 Corrinthians 8:6:Insomuch that we desired Titus,that as he had begun,so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
Whatever the Lord has given you to do,His grace is also available unto you to finish and finish well.You don't have to stop half way,finish up and recieve your victory
PRAYER FROM THE MAN OF GOD Father,by the reason of your grace,calling and anointing upon my life,I pray for every one that has read this message.I command the demonic spirit of fear to loose its grip from them in Jesus name.I speak the peace and joy of the Lord to rule over their lives in Jesus name,Amen
