INSPIRED MESSAGES

WHAT DOES THE WORD "SUCCESS" MEAN TO YOU?

The battles against your life are not against your success, but more against you using your success for the right purpose. A Failure in life is not someone who is not a non-achiever, but an achiever who is ignorant of the purpose attached to his or her achievements. The world defines success based on what people have and who they are; success is none of the above. Who you are, and what you have are merely raw materials for success. Success is what one ultimately accomplishes by employing and deploying what one has and who one is. Many people are being distracted by what they have and who they are, instead of focusing on what they can accomplish using what God has given them.

There is a purpose attached to everything; doing business with the consciousness of purpose in view is an evidence of wisdom. Don't celebrate "what," at the expense of "why." Dr Benard Etta

HOW TO TAKE A CITY OR NATION FOR CHRIST!

Genesis 13, verse 17. 
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

The above text is the formula to take a city or nation for Christ. Only pioneers can embark on such a mission, and it takes a pioneering anointing to understand what it means to walk through the land. The conquest of a city or nation for Christ is not cheap, but possible. A generation is rising today with the mandate to take over cities and nations for Christ.

SHIFTING FROM A "SERVANT" TO A "FELLOW"

It is time to shift from being a "servant of God" to a "fellow" together with God. What is the difference? Servants of God are usually not acquainted with what God is doing; that is God "Modus operandi" of doing His work in a given dispensation. 

We all begin our walk with the Lord as servants of God, but it is not the best to remain at that level. 

Mediate on the scriptural text below: 

 John 15, verse 15.

 "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: bu

Why Do You Do What ou Do?

Romans 12, verse 1.
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."

The most remarkable breakthrough we can ever have in our walk with God is the privilege of knowing his heart. It is also very crucial in every relationship that we strive to know the heart of our partners. It is not easy to make sense of someone's words and actions without knowing their hearts. Only the heart

"Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread"

What are you feeding on? The principles in the scriptural text above can inspire positive revolutions in our lives and in all spheres of strategic importance. Every word of God has eternity in it; that is, endless infinite revelations for revolutions. Where there is progressive revelation, you will find progressive revolution. Every positive revolution in history was inspired by a revelation. 

-It takes a spiritual revelation to have a spiritual revolution 
-It takes a social revelation to have

THE SECRET OF JESUS!

Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. John 5:19. 

The above biblical text unveils one of the powerful secrets behind the uniqueness of the life and earthly ministry of Jesus Christ, and also underscores what is wrong with most of the things we do today in God's name. It is important to note that, the fact that God could still p

Reading for leading!

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. Revelation 5:1. 

John saw "a book" in the right hand of him that sat on the throne. Wow! So, books didn't begin when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press; books have always been in heaven. If you want to send some people out of our present-day churches, simply make reading compulsory. They prefer spending their dime on candles, earth, bottles of oil and water i

How in the World?

I have been pondering the whole week on what it really means to be a disciple of the one that created all things and by him, all things consist. Join me to ponder!

It seems religion has watered down the power and glory associated to being a disciple of Christ. How on earth could one claim to be a disciple of the one in whom is all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and be so confused, running around looking for prophecies and petty prayers? Still pondering! Where have we missed it?

Behold,

WHERE ARE THE MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD?

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Matt 4:8-9. 

The mark of a man or woman of God is not the capacity to fast for several days or in the ecclesiastical titles he or she has, but in staying true to the truth and to God's purpose even if it attracts sufferings. There are material and financial gifts with th

Sanitation & Sanctification

I'm still wondering how someone who careless about sanitation (Basic cleanliness) would be able to handle sanctification. Sanitation is in the natural, what sanctification is in the supernatural. If someone can't handle basic natural responsibilities, how in the world would he or she cope with heavenly matters? 

Christ said to Nicodemus, "If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" John 3:12. 

Sometimes we search for some soph

Shifting From Hoping To Knowing!

 

When you add 1+1, you don't hope to have 2; you know you will have 2. Moving from hoping to knowing is critical to your next level. There is a level you can't 'hope' your way to; you can only know your way to it.  

Hope is good, but frustrating if it does not graduate into knowing. Perseverance is easy if you know than when you hope. When hope takes longer than expected, it takes a toll on those hoping, but 'knowing' keeps one poised irrespective of how long something takes to materialize. Jo

Wisdom To Turn Trash Into Treasure

The wisdom to turn trash into treasure; to make sense out of nonsense, to transform obstacles into miracles; pain to gain; setbacks into a setup for a comeback is the real measurement of maturity. Sometimes, God may not remove the necessity, but would give you the wisdom to transform it into an invention. When Israel saw Goliath, they saw a problem, but David saw an opportunity for greatness. You can't rise above your perspective and perception of issues. I wish you a blessed week.  DrBenard Etta

 

Don't Mistake Disgrace For Grace!

When it is too easy, it isn't always a sign of God's grace at work; it may also be an indication that the "object or mission" even though fabulous, might be of little eternal consequences.

The ideas, visions, and dreams, which have actually changed the world positively, and impacted time and eternity didn't come easy. The absence of battles may not necessarily be an indication of a breakthrough. It might as well be an indication that the axe head, representing the "edge of effectiveness" is missing.

Why on earth would Hell fight an idea, vision and movement when it's aware it isn't longer a threat? That's why the devil sponsors some churches and ministries since they don't threaten his overall plan.

The bottom line is, when one is no longer a menace (threat) to Hell, Hell will stop fighting the individual, while concentrating its resources to fight those carrying the most dangerous lights, which can destroy its deceptions. May God help us to think deep in order not to mistake disgrace for grace. Ponder to be a wonder!

No nation can experience positive transformation unless it is rescued from the ignorance propagated by individuals who use religion and politics for self aggrandizement. There seem to be a romance between religion and politics aimed at taking captive the minds of the masses, deceiving and leading them to self-destruct. The 21st century church will stem the tides of these twin evils through a peaceful revolution with truth as its weapon. DrBenard  Etta
