Facing Something Bigger Than You? Here’s How You Can Win It

Facing Something Bigger Than You? Here’s How You Can Win It

Facing something that is bigger than you? Congratulations! Because God is in the picture!

God will always invite you into an assignment that is far beyond what you can do. And, that’s His way.

We, on the other hand, like to stay comfortable. We like our routines and our safety. But when you carry the DNA of God, you begin to understand how He works. God will always come to you with an invitation that stretches you beyond your ability.

A girl kneeling by a window in morning light, praying to God, doing daily prayer, faith, and devotion.

We see that in the life of Moses. The Bible says that Moses was content to live with Jethro, tending sheep, enjoying his family, and living a peaceful life. Everything was fine and everything was familiar, until God called him out of his comfort zone into something that was way beyond him.

“Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”

Exodus 3:9-10

God’s people were not a small group—they were nearly six million!

In that moment, God gave Moses an invitation that felt far beyond his reach. That’s what happens to us too.

The gap between where you are and what God is calling you to do is where fear tries to enter. “What if I fail? What if this turns out to be the worst decision of my life?”

What Is God’s Expectation of You When You Are Facing a Big Problem?

This is exactly where God wants you to function by faith, and not by fear. The bigger the gap, the greater the fear may seem; but the greater the gap, the more room there is for the grace of God to fill it.

So if you are in a situation where everything feels overwhelming, where things seem completely beyond your control, know that God is in the picture.

And it’s also a sign that you are growing. Because when you grow, your fears grow too. They’re no longer the small fears you once had.

Remember, the battle becomes fiercest just when God is about to manifest something big in your life. The enemy can almost see you reaching that point, leaping over him into victory.

That’s why the enemy trembles. He knows that he’s already defeated. His only strategy now is to flood you with fear, hoping you’ll forget who stands beside you.

You may be standing very close to your promised land. Hold onto God’s promise over your life and very soon you will see those victories manifest in your life. In this season, know your God, and know who you are in Him.

What Is Worship Really? A Powerful Revelation on Takeover

What Is Worship Really? A Powerful Revelation on Takeover

Some time ago, I was worshiping God, and He gave me a definition of worship. Want to know what worship really is? It’s TAKEOVER! In the spiritual realm, worship is takeover!  

When you praise God, what you are really doing is you are fighting. Your praise is the weapon with which you fight the enemy. 

But as you keep praising, there comes a point when worship comes out of your heart. At this point, you enter into a phase of takeover. In the spiritual realm, this is the point when the battle is given to you.

That means the more your capacity to worship, the more you takeover.

worship, takeover

Some months ago, we had a worship session for 3 hours. Until then, when I stood for a long time, my lower back would begin to hurt. 

But that day because I had received this revelation before the worship session, the way I worshipped completely changed! Now I want to worship more because I realized I’m taking over what the enemy was trying to steal. 

Child of God,.worship is an ambush! It’s a surprise attack on your enemy. So, never lose your worship, no matter what situation you are in When your problems look big, worship. Because, that’s when you’re taking over. 

When Job lost everything, he might have not understood why things were going wrong, but the Bible says that Job “worshipped” (Job 1:20). That’s when he began to takeover. 

In the physical realm, he may have not seen the manifestation immediately. But, in the spiritual realm, when he genuinely worshipped God, that’s when he began to takeover. 

Job must have got this idea from Abraham. Because when God told Abraham to sacrifice his son, the devil tried everything to stop him from doing it. 

But Abraham said, “we are going to worship” (Genesis 22:5). And that’s when takeover really happened. 

Your TAKEOVER lies in your worship.

Now that you have understood worship from God’s perspective, may your worship go to the next level, where you begin to TAKEOVER!

God is Not Fighting Your Desires, This is…

God is Not Fighting Your Desires, This is…

Many of us have desires that we are waiting to see fulfilled in our lives. And sometimes when we don’t see those desires fulfilled, it becomes easy to think that God is fighting our desires and we start doubting His goodness.

But it is not God who is fighting your desires. In fact, He says in His Word, “Delight in Me and I will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4)

Actually it’s ‘YOUR’ desires that are fighting you!

That’s because those desires were not conceived right. Our desires are either birthed from our intimacy with God or from the world.

DEsires

Desires that come from intimacy with God

God called Abraham His friend, and in that sweet friendship, God told him, “I’m going to make you a great nation,” and “Your children will be as numerous as the stars in the sky” (Gen 12:2, Gen 26:4).

With that, God placed a desire in Abraham’s heart. It was birthed in intimacy with God.

Desires that come from the world

You see, every time God spoke, He spoke to Abraham, and not directly to Sarah. So what did Sarah do? Right after Abraham received the promise from God, Sarah told Abraham to sleep with Hagar, and Ishmael was born (Genesis 16:2).

In that moment of weakness, Sarah looked around and saw everyone else with children and there was birthed a desire for a child. It was a good desire, but it didn’t come from her intimacy with God, and that’s why it ended up as a mistake.

So how does it apply practically to you?

Most of us are getting our desires from the world – from YouTube and Instagram, and it may even seem good – like the desire for success in ministry. But then those desires cause us to push to “make things happen”, like Sarah, and ending up in chaos and confusion.

How to Receive God-desires for Your Life?

God wants you to take your desires from Him, and not from your community or social media. So, in this season, spend more time with the Holy Spirit and you will begin to get unique desires. And the best part is, He who began it, will bring it to completion. He will not only meet, but exceed your expectations.

Now, isn’t that a better way?

Want to Soar Spiritually? You Can’t Fly Without This Second Wing

Want to Soar Spiritually? You Can’t Fly Without This Second Wing

Have you ever been in a situation where you messed up? You wished you hadn’t said that statement or did what you did?

 Sometimes even when we know what is the right thing to do, we fall when trialing moments come. 

One day, when I was pondering on this I began to hear the song “What a friend we have in Jesus”, where it says “take everything to the Lord in prayer.”

 That’s when I realized that sometimes it was not the lack of knowing the Word that caused me to fall, but that it was a lack of prayer.

 I was backed with the Word but wasn’t backed with prayer.

prayer,Word

Is it important to pray for ourselves?

Yes! It is so important for us to pray for ourselves. This is one of the most important teachings I’ve heard my spiritual father, Prophet Derrick D’Souza, teach on recently. He showed us how Jesus, being the Son of God, had to pray with loud cries and tears to the only One who was able to save Him.

“In the days of His flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to Him who was able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.” (Hebrews 5:7)

Many times we don’t overcome certain temptations because we think we can overcome with our own strength. God wants to help you. All you need to do is ask Him for help, seek Him for His grace and understanding, and knock until you get your breakthrough.

Jesus said to his disciples in Matthew 26:21, “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Remember the incident at Gethsemane? Jesus asked three of His closest disciples to pray for at least an hour, but they couldn’t because they were genuinely tired. So tired that they couldn’t even stay awake. Yet their genuine tiredness did not stop Jesus from asking them to pray.  Because He knew that the hour of trial was coming.

If you have been often falling in an area though you know the truth, it’s time to cry out to God to help you overcome it.

Prayer & the Word– You Need Both!

Girls, we need the backing of prayer as much as we need the backing of the knowledge of the Word. Because there are also times when we pray a lot and are still struggling or falling in an area because we haven’t understood God’s heart for us in that situation.

 And the way you will know God’s heart for any situation is through the Word of God. Prayer and Word are like the two wings of a bird– we need both to fly with Jesus.

You are more than an overcomer in Christ Jesus. Soar high with Him this year!

Choosing to Walk With God—Here’s Why It’s Worth It

Choosing to Walk With God—Here’s Why It’s Worth It

Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.” (John 4:39-40)

When the Samaritan woman had an encounter with Jesus, she went and told about Jesus to her whole town and brought them to Him. And when they came to Him, they urged Him to stay with them. And He stayed with them for two days.

For two days Samaria had the Living, Miracle working God in their midst. They had an opportunity that not many other people had.

 

Walk with God

When Embracing Turns Into Rejection

Later on, there came a point in the life of Jesus where He had to go to Jerusalem because the time had come for Jesus to lay His life down on the cross. And, He was flint focused towards fulfilling the purpose of His life.  The Bible says His face was set towards Jerusalem.

But in order for Jesus to reach Jerusalem He had to pass through Samaria. So, Jesus sent His disciples ahead of Him to a village of Samaria to make preparations for Him.

But this time the same Samaritans who once refused to let Jesus go, now refused to receive Him because His face was set for Jerusalem.

“Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,  and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.” (Luke 9:51-53)

The first time the Samaritans encountered Jesus, they saw Him performing miracles and meeting their needs. But this time, they realized He was simply passing through. His destination, Jerusalem, was itself a point of deep contention as they considered Jerusalem not a place of worship. This stirred up their bitterness even more.

Please God or Man?

Child of God, when you make a decision to walk in your call and accomplish the purpose of God on your life, not many will accept or receive you. If they rejected Jesus who gave them the Living Word and did miracles among them, they will do it to you too.

Yet you need to live a life not to please man, but to please God. When you are facing situations or people in your family who do not accept your walk with God, don’t go to fight them. Instead you keep growing! That’s your key!

People will disappoint you, so it is better to serve God’s purpose in your generation. Keep upgrading yourself everyday because everything around you is upgrading itself. Keep growing in your identity and the right people will come chasing you. Your bosses will come chasing after you. Favour will come chasing after you.

When you keep growing the very people who are fighting you today will see your light shine bright and come to you.

God Has Gone Before You : Walk in Certainty

God Has Gone Before You : Walk in Certainty

Feelings of fear, doubt, and anxiety often take over when we’re uncertain about how a situation will unfold. We love a good adventure, but uncertainty? Not so much. When challenges arise, we crave certainty—something solid to hold on to, something that reassures us about what’s coming next.

But here’s the good news: God has gone before us. And He has already made a way.

“Do not be terrified or afraid. The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you.”  Deuteronomy 1:29-30

This verse has calmed my fears countless times. I have clung to it in moments of doubt, using it as a reminder that my certainty and trust must be in God.

But today, I want to share something even deeper with you—something that will transform how you understand what it means when God says, “I go before you.”

This truth will give you the confidence to walk with God boldly, knowing that He is always ahead of you, preparing the way.

God Has Gone Before Us Before

In Deuteronomy 1, we read about how the Israelites asked Moses to send twelve spies to scout the Promised Land. But when they heard the spies report, fear overtook them, and they refused to move forward.

Where can we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; moreover, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.’” Deuteronomy 1:28

Sound familiar? Have you ever faced a challenge that seemed too big? A situation that made you feel too small, too weak, or too unqualified?

Maybe, like me, you’ve told God, “I can’t do this. You must have made a mistake choosing me.”

But here’s the truth: God has taken down giants before, and He will do it again for you.

The Proof That God Destroys Giants

Let’s look at what God had already done before the Israelites reached the Promised Land.

In Deuteronomy 2:4, we see that God gave the land of Seir to Esau’s descendants. Then, in Deuteronomy 2:9, He gave the land of Ar to Lot’s descendants.

What’s important to note is that both these lands were originally inhabited by giants—the Horites lived in Seir, and the Emim lived in Ar.

But what happened? God defeated the giants and gave those lands to His people.

Before the Israelites even faced the giants in Canaan, God had already proven that He was capable of delivering the land from the hands of giants. He had done it before, and He was ready to do it again.

Your Giant is Not Too Big for God

Your giant might not be a literal warrior standing in front of you, but it could be fear, financial struggles, health issues, exams, a job situation, family problems, or uncertainty about the future.

Whatever it is, tell your heart today:

“Be certain—God has gone before me. He has conquered giants before, and He will do it again.”

All we have to do is rise and cross over.

This year let’s walk in the certainty of God’s goodness. He has not made a mistake in choosing you for this assignment. You will fulfil it. You will cross over.

So go forward with confidence—God has already gone before you.

XOXO
