Many a time you limit God because you confine Him with the level of your
brain. In the book of Genesis, God gave an old woman a boy. God told
Abraham that He was going to make a nation out of him. Abraham tried all
he could to make a nation but he could not. Abraham thought God was
going to use his servant, but God used an old woman to give birth to the son
who would be a father of nations.
For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of
Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filed them
with earth. And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art
much mightier than we. And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his
tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. And Isaac digged again
the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his
father; for the philistines had stopped them after the death of
Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his
father had called them. And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and
found there a well of springing water. And the herdmen of Gerar did
strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called
the name of the well Esek; became they strove with him. And they
digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name
of it Sitnah. And he removed from thence, and digged another well;
and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth;
and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we
shall be fruitful in the land. Gen 26:15-22
DIVINE ENLARGEMENT
The above Bible passage makes it clear that Abraham built wells and when
it came to Isaac's turn, the Philistines stopped Isaac the son of Abraham,
from digging the well. They filled the well with stones. Filling a well in a
land that lacks sources of water with stones is a malicious and foolish act.
When Isaac dug the well, the Philistines came and took the well from him
and Isaac named the well Esek. The Philistines also cheated Isaac when he
dug another well, which they took from him. Isaac also named the second
well, Sitnah He named the two wells, Esek and Sitnah because they strove
with him over the wells. But when Isaac dug well, which he named
Rehoboth, the Philistines did not strive with him.
In the scriptures, 'well' means 'dependence'. The enemy blocking the well,
are actually stopping the flow of parental and ancestral blessings. Isaac dug
his well and he named the well Esek, which means dispute and contention.
He dug another well which the Philistine took from him, and he called the
well, Sitnah. For the third time he dug another well and the Philistines did
not strive with him and he named the well Rehoboth.
God does things that people open their mouth and gaze at what He has
done. In the book of Exodus, God did a new thing. He divided the Red Sea.
God controlled the sea. God rained manna from heaven. God brought down
the walls of Jericho with a shout and no weapon. God is a God of new
things.
When Jesus Christ came into the scene He began to do new things He had
never done before. Jesus walked on water. He fed multitudes with just a
small quantity of food.
2Sam 22:20
Psalm 118:29
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good for his mercy endureth
for ever.
God is a God of Rehoboth. God of Rehoboth means, God who makes room.
God of Rehoboth is a God that calms the raging sea. God of Rehoboth is the
God that silences the raging of the enemy. The Bible says in the beginning,
God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void
and darkness was upon the face of the deep. There was plenty of confusion,
but the spirit of God moved upon the waters.
There was a lot of confusion, shapelessness until the voice of God said, let
there be light.
GOD OF ENLARGEMENT
The God of Rehoboth is the God of restoration. No matter what you have
lost, the God of Rehoboth shall restore it. The God of Rehoboth is the God
of enlargement and faithfulness. The God of Rehoboth is the God Who
gives rest. The The God of Rehoboth is the God of uncommon prosperity.
God of Rehoboth is a God of profitable relocation.
Isaac never knew that they were pushing him towards his breakthroughs.
The enemies made a mistake and pushed Isaac into the place of his
promotion. The God of Rehoboth is the God of breakthrough. He is the God
who silences thieves. The God of Rehoboth is the God who rewards
persistence. He rewards people who do not give up. Isaac kept digging
wells until he got to his place of breakthroughs. The God of Rehoboth is the
God who hates poverty. The God of Rehoboth is the God who never forgets
His own people. The God of Rehoboth makes you to find water on dry
ground. The God of Rehoboth makes a way where men say there is no way.
MAJOR HINDERANCES
There are many hindrances in answering prayers, but the two major
hindrances to prayers are:
1. Unbelief: When you lack faith. When you do not believe in God's
agenda for your life.
2. Sin: Sin can shorten the hands of God from touching your life. You do
not have to get involved in hypocrisy because it will endanger your
life.
Unbelief and sin are blessing blockers to your life. You need to restrain
yourself from anger and ill-temper because it will hinder your blessings
from God. God of Rehoboth will bless you abundantly if you do everything
he says to you and your life will take a new turn.

Jesus.

therefore, die, in the name of Jesus.
Chapter 2
The Mystery of Failure
Some years ago in England, the fire brigade went on strike and the army
had to replace them for the time being. So when anybody needed help, they
would call the Army. There was a woman whose cat climbed on top of a
tree and could not come down. She called the fire brigade and the soldier
boys went there and rescued the cat professionally.
The old woman was very happy and she offered them a cup of coffee and
biscuit and after they had taken the coffee and biscuits, on their way back,
as they drove their car, they mistakenly crushed the rescued cat to death.
They failed woefully after they had succeeded. There is a mystery about
failure. When bright men become failures and the ones that are supposed to
be hardworking receive the arrow of laziness, there is a mystery
somewhere.
Phil 3:14-15
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus
minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded God shall reveal
even this unto you.
I pray that right now the arrows of failure tormenting your life will go back
to the sender. Yesterday is a cancelled cheque, tomorrow is a promissory
note but today is the only thing you have and you must utilise it.
WHAT IS FAILURE?
1. Failure is to fall short of success.
2. Failure is to fall short of achievements.
3. Failure is to score lower than the passing grade or mark.
In the school of failure there are grades. Failure implies a total defeat.
Biblically failure is an inability to plunge yourself into your divine destiny.
It is to be less than what God expects of you. When you achieve less than
what you should, you are a failure. There are millionaires that are failures,
because they are supposed to be billionaires.
2. LACK OF VISION. Some people fail because they have no plan for
their lives and they do not even know that they have failed. The Bible
says that without vision the people perish.
Pro 29:18
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the
law, happy is he.
4. MIS-PLACED GIFTS. Some people are gifted in one area, but they are
not interested in developing and using their gifts. They go to another
thing that they are not gifted at and this leads to failure. This accounts for
a great percentage of failure in schools and in several professional lines.
9. DOUBT. When you doubt what God can do for you, and you
underestimate the power of God to change a particular situation in your
life, it is a direct admission into the school of failure.
10. PROCRASTINATION. When you wait too much for a better time to
do a particular thing, that best time might never come. Procrastination is
the ancestor of failure.
12. LAZINESS. This is resting when you are not tired. Most people who
claim to be christians are very lazy. Some men even sit down at home
and wait for their wives to bring food for them. Some will say that they
are bigger than a particular job and they would refuse to work. This is
laziness and pride. There was a woman, who lost her job and she came to
me that I should give her 2,500 and pray on it. I did as she demanded and
she started selling biscuits. Few months later, she came with a tithe of
50,000. Laziness is an enemy of progress. This also accounts for the
reason women sell their bodies for money.
Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down,
and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your
bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be
measured to you again.
Acts 20:35
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to
support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how
he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Psalm 133:1
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity!
Eph 4:3
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the
Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of
the fulness of Christ:
Philippians 4:8
1Cor 10:1-12
19. SPIRITUAL ATTACKS. Spiritual attack from the enemies also lead to
failure. Satan brings enemies to the way of a believer to frustrate that
believer's attempt to excel in life. This is to understand the principles of
spiritual warfare.
Matthew 13:24-30
PRAYER POINTS
1. Agent of darkness assigned to stop me, I stop you before you stop me,
in the name of Jesus.

Chapter 3
War Against Capacity Blockers
1. Every power assigned to bury me alive, you are a liar, die, in the name
of Jesus.
2. Every power, assigned to rubbish my life, die, in the name of Jesus.
3. Every antagonising powers, die, in the name of Jesus.
If you remain in the tail position, the fault will not be anyone's but yours. It
will be your faults, if you are caught trying to kill an elephant with a broom
stick. It is a serious matter and I want you to understand the subject matter.
The manner of prayers listed above, highlights the importance of the topic.
The prayer should be said in the spirit of enough is enough. You should
pray, that everything your forefathers have lost and that has been thrown
away, you must recover them in your generation. Your prayer should be
that, the true picture of your life that God wants you to lived must be
restored.
There are some people, who are internal gold mines. But then, the enemy
has buried the gold mine in the crucible of frustration and disappointments.
There are people who are shining stars, but they are buried in the dung-hill
of fear and frustration.
A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great
men.
YOUR GIFT
There is a "man's gift", something in your life that has a capacity to make a
way for you and bring you before great men. That is the capacity we are
talking about in this book.
Psalm 49:20
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that
perish.
The Bible makes it clear that you are a gold mine. You have a unique
capacity, great talents, and wonderful potential but you are completely
unaware. It is like the beast that perishes. What a terrible statement! No one
is born into the world to just hang around. There are many people hanging
around in our world. All of us, the moment you were born, you came crying
from your mother's womb, your time began to count; that time does not
wait for you. Time is not a friend of anybody. Time waits for nobody. Many
people are living but they are not fulfilling their destiny and their maximum
capacity. There is a world of difference between living long and living
effectively. By thirty three years, Jesus' assignment had finished. By 120
years, Moses had finished his assignment. This is a matter we need to think
about. Unto every man brought into the world, there is a divine investment
waiting for expression in your life. A divine investment which God has
brought you here to trade with and to prosper.
The muscles of the body does not manifest their capacity unless you put
them to use and challenge them. Your inner capacity is like those muscles.
The hidden abilities, potentials, talents are gold-mines. As far as they are
hidden, they cannot produce profit. The message is that you need to wage
war against those powers that are pulling you down and not allowing you to
fulfill that which the Almighty has planted in you.
THE MEANING
What do we mean by capacity? We mean, what you can become but you
have not yet realised. In a single seed, there is a tree and there is also a
forest. That single seed has a capacity to be a big tree; it also has capacity to
become a forest. But if somebody crushes the seed under the feet, the
person has blocked that capacity. Capacity is what you can do but have not
yet done it. It means where you can go but you have not, yet, gone.
I prophesy that where your enemy says you will not reach, you will not only
get there, you will surpass that point in the name of Jesus.
By your capacity we mean your unused strength. The capacity is there but
you are not using it. We mean your untapped power. It means your
unrealised ability. It means your hidden talent. It means your unrecognised
gifts. It means the obscure giant hiding within you. It means your
unmanifested breakthrough. It means your unexplained responsibilities. It
means your unexpressed ideas. It means your unsung songs, your undanced
dance. It means your unwritten books. It refers to your undeclared
manifestoes. This is what we mean by capacity.
THE EXPLORATION
Until your capacity is discovered and tapped, greatness will be far. Your
capacity is your ability carved out of your divine ability. Your capacity is
your limited ideas extracted from the bountiful sea of divine intelligence.
Until you decide to dare the impossible, you will continue to be an ordinary
person.
When somebody has been derailed, the person needs urgent prayers. Such a
person needs to be brought back to the road from which he derailed. Your
capacity can be derailed. Your capacity is precious. It is answer to
somebody's prayer. Your financial freedom is tied to the release of your
capacity. Beloved, when you pray aggressively, the first thing you will
notice, is that your dream life will change. You will begin to have destiny
dreams. The strategy of the enemy is to distract your attention from the
mighty possibilities lurking within you. Your unexplored capacity will
cause trouble for you later. But if you develop and release it, it will bring
you before great men.
GREAT POSSIBILITIES
Proverb 22:29 says;
Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before
kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Because the enemy knows you are destined for greatness he will try to
attack you. He has insights to the brightness of your prospects in life.
When a child is born in Africa, they will take the child to a witchdoctor and
check the person's destiny (i.e., the future of the person) and the children of
the devil would see it and 99 percent of it is always correct. The enemy can
see your star when you cannot see your own star. It is a tragedy for you to
have divine investments and you are completely unaware.
There was a brother who was unhappy and he felt depressed. Yet he was a
child of God. He went to his friend to complain. They were in the same
church. The friend decided to take him to one fetish priest. He opined that
everything is not all about church. When they got to the witchdoctor, he told
him to stay outside and he said, "why? But, I came for help". The man said,
"Tell him to stay outside". So the man went out. The witch-doctor now
warned the friend not to bring that kind of person to him again because he
had fire in him, and since he had fire in him, you don't bring such people
here, because They will spoil our fetish power". The witchdoctor told the
friend to tell him to go back to where he received fire. He made it
categorically by clear that it was only that place that would solve the
problem. But his friend could not deliver the message, so the witch-doctor
went to the brother standing outside and said, "You have fire. People like
you do not come to us. Go back to where you received your fire and your
problems will be solved".
COSTLY IGNORANCE
Here was a believer, who had the fire of the Holy Spirit within. He had
divine investments in him but he did not know He wanted to cast his pearls
before pigs and they threw him out. That is why the Bible says, in Psalm
49:20,
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that
perish.
Many of you running around for prayers from fake prophets if you develop
your inner investment, you will discover that you are 100 percent better
than those so called prophets.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Woe unto the demonic vessel, that the enemy would use to cause me
spiritual injury, in the name of Jesus.
2. Father Lord, let your glory cover every aspect of my life, in the name
of Jesus.
3. Father Lord, let your angels encamp around me, in Jesus' name.
4. I renounce and break every death covenant that I have made or which
anyone has made on my behalf, in Jesus' name.
5. I remove the control of my life from the hands of any dead person, in
the name of Jesus.
6. I stand against every covenant of sudden death, in Jesus' name.
Chapter 4
Prayers To Block Capacity Blockers
There are capacity blockers working against the release of many people's
inner abilities. The reason we read about David today was because he
overcame capacity blockers. There are capacity blockers assigned to ensure
that many do not fulfill the agenda of God for their lives on earth. We need
to identify what they are:-
1. The first capacity blocker is SIN: Any sin in your life will strengthen
the enemy to give you a hard fight. No matter what name you call
yourself, if you are still living in sin, you cannot fulfill your capacity.
Samson's destiny was derailed because of sin and it was blocked. There
is no small sin. Sin is sin. Sin is terrible, ugly and bad. That is why Jesus
usually said, "sin no more". The pastor may not see you commiting any
sin. You may even be so clever as to conceal it. But eventually that sin
will find you out.
Numbers 32:23
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD:
and be sure your sin will find you out.
Philippians 3:14-15
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus
minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal
even this unto you.
1Sam 30:1-6
And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on
the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag,
and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; And had taken the
women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or
small, but carried them away, and went on their way. So David and
his men came to the city, and, behold it was burned with fire; and
their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice
and wept, until they had no more power to weep. And David's two
wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the
wife of Nabal the Carmelite. And David was greatly distressed; for
the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people
was grieved every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David
encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
5. The fifth capacity blocker is ANGER. Anyone with the spirit of anger
has a serious problems indeed. In fact, if anger is in your life, your
problem is worse than the problems of all the witches in Nigeria put
together. The Bible says;
Eccl 7:9
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom
of fools.
6. The sixth capacity blocker is TALKATIVENESS. Having no control
over your mouth is a mark of immaturity.
Eccl 5:2
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter
any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth:
therefore let thy words be few.
1Cor 15:33-34
Be not deceived evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake
to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of
God: I speak this to your shame.
Proverb 14:29
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is
hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
10. The tenth capacity blocker is a CURSE. A curse can limit a man
seriously. It can block the capacity of a destiny completely. That is why
you should not joke with curses issued on you. Remember; Proverb 26:2,
which says;
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse
causeless shall not come.
11. The eleventh capacity blocker is UNBELIEF. When you lack faith in
God you block your capacity. You must get rid of every form of doubt
and unbelief.
Mark 9:24
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears,
Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Hebrew 3:12
Proverb 26:13-16
The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the
streets. As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful
upon his bed.
The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it
again to his mouth. The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than
seven men that can render a reason.
14. The fourteenth capacity blocker is PRIDE. When you over value
yourself. Nobody can talk to you. You believe that you know everything
or you have all the knowledge. You will block your capacity.
Proverb 16:18
Pride goeth before destruction, and an
haughty spirit before a fall.
PRAYER POINTS
1. I command every blockage in my spiritual pipe to be removed, in the
name of Jesus.
2. I command the hole in my spiritual pipe to be closed, in the name of
Jesus.
3. Lord, ignite my calling with Your fire, in the name of Jesus.
4. I receive heavenly flushing in my spiritual pipe, in Jesus' name.
5. Every evil spiritual padlock and evil chain hindering my spiritual
growth, be roasted, in the name of Jesus.
6. I rebuke every spirit of spiritual deafness and blindness in my life, in
the name of Jesus.
7. I bind the strongman behind my spiritual blindness and deafness and
paralyse his operations in my life, in the name of Jesus.
8. I anoint my eyes and my ears, in the name of Jesus.
9. Lord, restore my spiritual eyes and ears, in the name of Jesus.
Chapter 5
Capacity Blockers must be Disgraced
In this chapter we shall learn how to further wage war on stubborn capacity
blockers. There are different levels of capacity blockers. There is a group of
progress blockers that must be identified and disgraced.
Gal 6:7-8
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the
flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the
Spirit reap life everlasting.
3. SELF SATISFACTION. You are satisfied with where you are. You do
not want any body to change you. You do not want anybody to talk to
you. Self satisfaction can tie the hands of God. But God will always
respond to the hungry and the desperate. If He sees that you are hungry
and desperate, he will respond to you.
Proverb 3:7
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Romans 12:6
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us,
whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of
faith;
4. POWERS OF YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE. When the powers of your
father's house are troubling your destiny, you will encounter lots of
setbacks. You need deliverance.
John 6:63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the fish profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
2Cor 10:4-6
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through
God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every
thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to
revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Today, I pray that you will be completely released from all these blockers,
in the name of Jesus.
This is why many christians suffer the same defeat, over and over again.
Because what is meant to move them forward has not been utilised.
This book is a prophetic book and it is also a warfare book. If you will pray
from your heart, your life will change. Then, you will begin to realise where
you should go, that you are not going. Where you should throw your net,
that you are not throwing your net. Those you should talk with that you are
not taking with. Those things you should do but because, you do not
exercise, you could not do them. There are many people who have hidden
talents within, but have buried their capacity. Many people have the internal
Moses that could deliver this generation but what a tragedy when you
subject your internal Moses to a boxing match. You are the one fighting
your Moses And therefore, your Moses cannot do much for you.
BE FREE!
There are people who are priceless treasures but buried by witchcraft. There
are people, that should be landlords but they are still tenants. There are
some men and women, if not for careless sex which they had in the past,
they would have become great men and women. It means that the enemy
has completely blocked their capacity.
The people of Israel did not fulfill their capacity. They said, "We cannot
enter the promised land because there are giants there," and they did not
enter. Samson did not fulfill his capacity. Saul's capacity was blocked, so he
could not move. He was the man appointed to be the king of Israel. He
started his journey by prophecies but he ended up as a witch. If you keep
quiet, you are finished. A closed mouth is a closed destiny.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Every power, blocking my capacity, your time is up, die, in the name
of Jesus.
2. Pharaoh of my father's house, let me go, in the name of Jesus.
3. I must excel, I must manifest, in the name of Jesus.
4. Any bird that wants to pick my breakthroughs, die, in the name of
Jesus.
5. Power of the tail, over my destiny, die, in the name of Jesus.
6. Every power, assigned to bury me alive, die, in the name of Jesus.
7. Every power assigned against my joy, die, in
the name of Jesus.
8. Father in the name of Jesus, I lift up myself
into your hands, whether it
is convenient
for any power or not, I will arise, in Jesus'
name.
9. Beginning from now, I bury every power
blocking my capacity, in the
name of Jesus.
10. I receive the oil of favour, in the name of
Jesus.
11. I will reach where I am supposed to reach,
in the name of Jesus.
12. My time of maximum lifting up has come,
in the name of Jesus.
13. Any power, sitting on my moving forward, be unseated now and for
ever, in the name of Jesus.
14. Any power saying, "Over their dead body"
will I have my full scale
laughter, be
scattered, in the name of Jesus.
15. In my dreams, oh God, appear, in the name
of Jesus.
16. The same way the enemy has blocked my
life, that same way will they
go back and die,
in the name of Jesus.
Chapter 6
Power for Explosive Success
Success is achieving all that God created you to achieve. Success is
prospering in every area of your life. Success is discovering your best
talents, skills and abilities and applying them to make the most effective
contribution to your fellow men. Success, as far as the Bible is concerned, is
the achievement of God's goals and purpose in your life. Success is doing
those things God has ordained you to do and doing them in a way that
would satisfy God. Success is to positively contribute to the betterment of
others. Success is doing God's will.
Success is activating your inner power house. Unto every man brought to
this world is a power house given by God. Your power house may be your
hands.
It may be your brain, your voice or the way you hold yourself. Your power
house may be your mental capacity. Success is activating your inner power
house. Your power house may be your virtues, that you need to activate to
bring you what God wants to bring you.
2 Chronicles 26:15
THE ENVIRONMENT
It has been well said by our ancient fathers that there can never be any
blessing for the fish that has decided to go to the tree. Success is to leave
the world better than you found it. Success is recording accomplishments
beyond your wildest dream. Success is thinking of yesterday without regret
and thinking of tomorrow without fear. Success is making chariot wheels of
all your difficulties. Success is the maximum utilisation of your ability.
Success is bouncing back when you hit the bottom. Success is making your
life a masterpiece such that you stand in the presence of God and you are
not ashamed at all. Success is to know where you are going and to go there
and fulfill the purpose of God for your life.
Many people know about success. Many people desire success but never
attain it because of some limitations and constraints. However through the
supernatural and enabling power of the Holy Spirit, you can overcome all
obstacles and reach your goals in life.
Declare this loud "My Father empower me to succeed by the power in the
blood of Jesus.
GOD OF POSSIBILITIES
Success that is achieved is not only by dint of hardwork or by natural
means. You need to be spiritually backed up. There are plenty of talented
men who are complete failures. There are plenty of intelligent people who
are complete failures. You need divine assistance and empowerment.
Paul the apostle was somebody who persecuted the saints. He too was saved
and empowered to deliver the gentiles. Eventually he finished well and he
wrote more than half of the books in the New Testament. He attributed his
success to empowerment from God.
That time you went on holidays in prayer school, the enemy will use it to
run faster into your life.
2. You can be empowered through the word of God. The word of God is
the light that lightens our way. The Bible says the word of God is quick
and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword. When you believe in
that word of God and you practise it, you will have good success.
4. You can be empowered through the baptism of the Holy Ghost and
by receiving spiritual gifts. Every believer should seek to be baptised
with the Holy
Ghost and spiritual gifts.
5. Through violent faith. When you seek God, you must believe that He is
and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
"Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am
the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee
by the way that thou shouldest go." Isaiah 48:17
9. You can be empowered through diligence and hard work. The Bible
says, "Seeth thou a man who is diligent in his work, he will stand before
kings. He will not stand before mean men".
"Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret
unto his servants the prophets." Amos 3:7
