BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL - A GREAT AUTHORITY ON THE EARTH

*TOPIC: A GREAT AUTHORITY ON THE EARTH*


*TEXT:Gen 49:1*

_”Then Jacob called for his sons and said: "Gather around so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come”_


*LESSONS*


An authority is someone entrusted with the power to enforce rules and give orders. In the text above, we see Jacob speaking affirmatively of what will happen to all his children which stand till today. This family of Jacob called Israel represents the whole people of God today. 

Can a man stand to give rules, verdict, final judgment on the whole family of God and nothing can change it? Which office was Jacob speaking from? Joseph was the greatest voice for God in that era. Let us understand it well. I mean the greatest move of God that time through which the whole world were bowing down to the glory of God was through Joseph. Everybody in the whole world talks about the wisdom of Joseph. His glory was everywhere. That is a new move of God! The power, the utterances, the wisdom, the insight, the prophetic grace (Joseph saw the future!),all these should make a man know that a son is manifesting the glory of his heavenly father. Joseph was exercising an apostolic grace and Influencing the whole world. 

But a man stood in the office of a father and pronounced the fate of the race of humanity. Then I observed that the office of a father is vested with the legal authority to govern the earth. Jacob was handling this baton from Abraham. Ideally, a father is not just a producer of children but a representative of God. He ought to be a priest and a king raising other kings and queens. God vested so much authority in the office of fatherhood. If you are cursing your children like Noah did Ham you need repent. The curse and the blessing of a father have power. Receive the blessings of your parents and your husband because they are powerful. Only an irresponsible father loses his authority by his own foolishness like Esau did to Jacob.


*PRAYER ALERT*

Father, destroy every negative word my parents have spoken on me. Bring to speedy fulfillment all positive words in Jesus name


*Dr Akinlade Isaiah*

BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL - REVELATION OF HIS GLORY (3)

-
BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL DATE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2021 TOPIC: REVELATION OF HIS GLORY (3) TEXT: 1 Peter 1:23 _For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God._ LESSON We have a spiritual seed in us that grows till it produces fruits of glory. The kingdom of God in us is likened to a seed that when it fully grows it produces place for birds of the earth to nest in. Lack of the understanding and recognition of that seed leads to men being stranded in the journey of life. Matt 13:31-32 _He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."_ From the above text, glory is a product of growth which leads to the expression of kingdom potentials you are loaded with. Growth

BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL - INCUBATING THE FIRE(3)

BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6,2021 TOPIC: INCUBATING THE FIRE(3) TEXT: Judges 15:5 _Then firing the sticks, he let the foxes loose among the uncut grain of the Philistines, and all the corded stems as well as the living grain and the vine-gardens and the olives went up in flames._ LESSON Samson had a focus of what to do with the foxes as well as the extent of the fields to be burnt. This determined the number of the foxes he gathered! Even God had given Adam a job before giving him a help meet! This is vision. Samson also knew that a single fox will not get what needed to be done accomplished therefore he gathered a team of foxes. In a nutshell, no haphazard burning. It is the vision that determines  the provision, the fields you have in view create passion and fire then will fall! You cannot pray beyond the burden you have. You cannot be anointed beyond the vision you have. You only need men in your life to fulfil his vision. Yield to the vision, live for a course, th

BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL - ON THE EAGLES WING (1)

-
 BUILDERS DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,2021 TOPIC: ON THE EAGLES WING (1) Text: Ex 19:4 (NIV) _'You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself._ LESSON The seed of glory in believers that was deposited for kingdom expression by the word of God is the Spirit of God. No fruit without a tree and no tree without the seed. To bear kingdom fruits, we must recognize the kingdom seed, nurture the tree of life in us and dispatch the fruit of the kingdom to the world. Rev 22:2(NIV) _down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruitevery month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations_   The Holy Spirit  is the fountain of glory. Now we want to learn how to unlock this fountain on  continuous basis. As it is in many matters of life, the basic principle is constant. _'You yourselves have seen
