God is at Work in us, Increase our expectations. Aug2021

For it is God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 AMP.

God is strengthening, energizing and creating the environment for us, to understand, know, fully recognise that the Lord Himself is God, who has made us, we are His people and sheep of His pasture.

Elisha recognized Elijah, as chariot and horsemen of Israel, by asking for a double portion of Spirit upon him, for the right to be regarded as the successor of Elijah; Even though Elijah said that it was the hard thing, Nevertheless, he said, if you see me when I am taken, it shall be so, if not it shall not be. Elisha did see his master, received double portion, established great ministry exactly as twice as Elijah. Amen.

Let us also increase our expectations and ask big things, pray bold prayers. Let God say what we are asking is hard to get it. Will He? No never. There is nothing, no nothing is impossible to Him to fulfil. We just need to Ask, keep on asking, Seek, keep on seeking, Knock, keep on knocking, by putting our Faith in Him, by trusting His timing, by following Him no matter what.

Is it Jericho? OK to me to follow by blowing ram’s horns and carrying the ark of the covenant as a sign of God’s presence, to expect an astonishing miracle from above.

Is it Jordan? - Others are going in different direction, standing afar, river is flowing in full?; But still let's expect a sign from the Lord, He will part the waters of the Jordan, just as He had parted the Red Sea in Egypt.

is there a desert on the way? or dry situation? He is the Way maker, Miracle worker. Just Trust Him and His timings.

The Truth is that we are Work in Progress (WIP) at His purpose. In this Month, let's increase our expectations by adopting His words to let God materialise His work as per His plan. Amen.

May we walk in a manner worthy of the Lord displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity, to fully please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts, in Jesus Name, Amen. (Colossians 1:10 AMP)

Asking God to fulfil His highest purpose is a great thing to ask for. Lets Get a double portion of that. Amen

I will open rivers on the barren heights And springs in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a reed-pool of water And the dry land springs of water. I will put the cedar in the wilderness, The acacia, the myrtle and the olive tree; I will place the juniper in the desert Together with the box tree and the cypress, Isaiah 41:18‭-‬19 AMP

having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the [chief] Cornerstone,

May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], Ephesians 3:16 AMP

Keep the charge of the Lord your God, [that is, fulfil your obligation to] walk in His ways, keep His statutes, His commandments, His precepts, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, so that you may succeed in everything that you do and wherever you turn,1 Kings 2:3 AMP

Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually].3 John 1:2 AMP

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
