TOPIC: BE DESPERATE FOR A CHANGE


TEXT:  Judg 6:13-14

_"But sir," Gideon replied, "if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, 'Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?' But now the Lord has abandoned us and put us into the hand of Midian."The Lord turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?"_

LESSONS


No discovery without a search. Your purpose is a discovery and you must be willing to do the search. Even God is revealed to only those who seek him. To seek is to search for something desperately. Your purpose is a fragment of what God is doing on the earth, so therefore, it is not a common commodity but very valuable. Many died without discovering the hidden plan of God for them. 


Those who fulfilled their purpose are the agents of positive change effected by God in every generation. God wants all men to be this conscious of his assignment for them.


Look at Gideon and see this exemplified. God had positioned him as the solution to that mess which irritated him most, nevertheless, he did not just grumble but was desperate to see a change .He longed for it, prayed for it and took a step in the direction of desired change he was called to bring. God visited him! He became the fulfillment of the prophecy earlier spoken by the prophets which was sent to the whole congregation of Israel in response to their cry ( Judges 6:7,8).God is ready to move his church forward but can only use those who can see the change needed and be willing to forgo any other to be used by God. Gideon was commissioned on the note of such a ready-made heart well prepared to take action in the direction of his persuasion. Stop being a coward, dare to be all out for God so that he can fulfill his purpose for you. Have you seen something wrong that pulls the cord of your deep passion and you desire a change? You can be the instrument of the change. Is there any particular problem that you think should be addressed but left untouched? God can use you. See yourself in the equation and the formation of your assignment will continue to grow stronger.


Highlights

1. Change is constant but positive change requires agents of change.


2. Men who fulfilled their purpose are tools for positive change on the earth.


3. Do not only desire a change but see yourself in the equation.


4. Prepare and act in the direction of the change needed.


5. Prepare for divine encounter.


6. When you say: the good old days,  then something is wrong. s?Search for it and correct it (Judge 6:13)


PRAYER ALERT

Father, strengthen my heart to be a solution to the challenges you have created me to solve ( Mat 5:13,14)

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 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 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
