The story of four lepers at the city gate is a powerful picture of faith in action. In their desperate situation, they reasoned: “Why wait here to die?” Their courage to step out led them to an unexpected and favorable outcome — a lesson for all who will trust God and take bold steps of faith.
Partnering with non-believers carries inherent risks due to their deceitful tendencies, which have led many Christians to unfortunate experiences in business dealings. Bishop Amajene urges believers to evaluate the spiritual alignment of potential collaborators to ensure God’s favor and blessings on the venture.
Disobedience to God’s Word is a significant hindrance to receiving blessings from the Lord. God views disobedience as witchcraft, stubbornness, or idolatry — and it could lead to rejection by God. Obedience to God’s Word, whether personal revelation (Rhema) or the written Word (Logos), is crucial for prosperity.
Faith serves as the power line connecting the finite to the infinite, providing us with numerous resources to navigate life’s challenges. It is the most treasured gift a believer must pursue — through faith, all things are achievable.
Walking in tandem with God’s preordained times and seasons in your life is crucial and central to what the Lord will do for you. The tribe of Issachar was commended for their ability to understand the times and know what Israel should do — and the Church today needs that same generation.
As we embark on the journey of 2024, it is essential to ground ourselves in the eternal wisdom and guidance found in the Scriptures. This year’s message is anchored on hope, resilience, and faith — reminding ourselves of the power of God’s promises and our role in shaping a better future.
What truly makes our world different as Christians is the level of gratitude we show unto the Lord and to those whom He has used to love and support us. Alabaster of gratitude is the antidote for sadness, sorrow, discouragement, resentment, depression, and oppression of the enemy.
What most people fail to understand is that favor is a by-product of taking a deep interest and devotion to God’s Kingdom, His people, and service. My time and season are here because God is a rewarder of those who truly and diligently seek Him.
To understand what time it is, you have to look at the clock, phone, or watch — but many people fail to look at their time, and some do not even have a clock. Spiritually, most of us do not understand what time this is because we are not studying situations and circumstances through the Scriptures.
The men of Issachar were blessed with spiritual gifts, insight, and understanding of the times and seasons Israel should walk in. When you are gifted in the revelation anointing, with the ability to see into the future about things to come, you become a leader automatically.
