The zeal of the Lord will sometimes test your patience. Delay indicates something great or special is coming.

Purpose makes you tenacious. You begin to direct your purpose when you come to a realization of confidence in purpose

Living in purpose means I must be able to lay aside pleasure and privileges for a greater good.

Our number one defense against the devil is information (we can be prayerful and ignorant). We are as powerful as we are knowledgeable. If we won't be ignorant of the devil's scenes, we must be knowledgeable.

Dominion without the spirit is dangerous, while the spirit without dominion would be mediocre. We must find positions of influence for the gospel.

Prayer has a cumulative effect, the effect is measured over a period of time not just in an instance. It is the heartfelt and continued prayer of the righteous that makes power available.

Purpose is that one thing for which you were created and in which you must succeed. Otherwise, other things you succeed at would not count.

Supernatural leading is not a one-man’s show. It is for all of God’s children. You won’t catch supernatural and prophetic signals if you don’t train your spirit.

We can walk in precise leading when we build a structure. We must have special seasons of devotion (going beyond your normal fasting & praying schedule).

You're allowed to ask questions and seek confirmation. God is not afraid to let you check what you think He said.

It doesn’t have to be spectacular for it to the spiritual. Learn to accept and embrace the ways by which God speaks to you. It is a sin to despise the things God says because it doesn’t seem spectacular to you.

Make sure that your theology is in alignment with Christ. From Jesus’ experience, we know that even after praying and fasting the devil still comes and your defense won’t be prayer but that “It is written.”

The resurrection of Jesus from the dead gave assurance that there’s life after death. His death has become our death, his burial our burial, and his resurrection our resurrection.

The humanity of Christ is one of the greatest expressions of God’s love towards us.

For it to be a New Testament Church, the workings of the Spirit must be common. You have the Holy Ghost so you have something to offer.

God did not give you his spirit for nothing. The spirit of God in your life must count for more than goosebumps.

Matthew 20:26 God loves to brag about people that contribute. If you want to stand out in the sight of God you should be ready to contribute. Medals are awarded to those who fight not to those who know that they can fight because in the kingdom God doesn’t reckon greatness by capacity alone. At the end of the day, greatness in the kingdom is not by what you think you can produce but by what you actually produce. Greatness is reckoned by contribution! What really measures greatness in the sight of God is “Love” (1 Cor 13) Even in the administration of gifts, there is a hierarchy in terms of importance, know this, Spiritual gifts are for service! It is not so that you can advance your own physical agenda. God wants a body whereby every part is a supplying joint and If you’re asked what you’re doing for the body of Christ; It should be seen that you’ve been able to come up with a strategy to reach people for God. (1 Cor 14:1-2) Acts 1:8 simply means that the gifts are primarily for evangelism and not for personal gratification. Write your faith story! There has to be more. Desire spiritual gifts but not for yourself. The Spirit of God has come to make greatness common. Get involved for the kingdom and be a supplying joint. Again, desire the gifts for the advancement of the kingdom! 1 Sam 10:5-7 God designed his church to be a body filled with supplying joints. If you really want to see big things in your walk with God, associate with people who have it. 1 Sam 10:7 explains that we can do as occasion demands once the spirit has come upon us. Do not let the devil trick you to think that being alone is the best thing. Take community seriously and use community as a strategy. When our heart is focused on the kingdom we have the capacity but we must have a purpose in mind and God uses utterance to launch us into our purpose. By this, we experience progress and joy in the faith!

The word of God remains sure. We should never doubt that we’re making heaven. As long as we have the Holy Spirit, we shouldn’t lack the assurance of Salvation.

Sanctification must be a growing reality, it might be gradual but the process must be evident. God helps us to live in a manner consistent with our new nature BY HIS SPIRIT

When you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, you talk and confess God’s Word. A man of God is talkative. We must learn to let our feelings catch up.

The Holy Spirit is to a church what an engine is to a car. A car without an engine can look good but won't go anywhere. There is no church without the holy ghost

Because of what we carry, the possibilities in our reality are enormous. - limitations become our advantage and we do the impossible.

Love must be defined because it has many look-alikes: lust, infatuation, etc. You must be discerning to see beneath the surface to recognize love.

People must see us and know us by our love walk. We know we’re growing when the word of God can stripe us bare so we can correct ourselves.

If He laid and submitted his life for you, what then is your excuse? You cannot receive the unmerited love of Christ and not give the unmerited!

The love of God that you have received has conferred on you a responsibility; you can’t receive the undeserved love of Christ and not love undeservedly.

God cares about you, your pains and your heartbreaks. It’s God’s desire to bind us up from our pain.
