The Emerging Leader

There is a leader in you!

You are called to lead!

You may not see yourself that way due to the fact that no one has told you or it has not been revealed to you.

You may not see yourself as a leader because your experience does not reflect you've ever lead anything before, but the truth is that you are not your experience.

You may not see yourself as a leader because your parents never told you you're a leader.

The truth is that you are not the perspective of your parents.

Perhaps you do not see yourself as a leader because your tutors and teachers over the course of your academic life told you, you don't have the qualities of a leader and they assigned leadership positions and responsibilities  to their 'star' pupils and favorite students.

You may think you're not a leader because people in your life who don't see right and have misguided views couldn't see the leader in you.

God has a way of making leaders out of unlikely people.

The kingdom of God is full of unlikely heroes and underdogs.

There was honor in a man called Jabeez, a Biblical character..

His mother didn't see it because she was carried away by what she was going through.

She named him based on her emotions at the time of his birth, she didn't name him by revelation or with wisdom.

A mistake on her part.

There are many people in our lives who are like that, and maybe a lot of the people we will still come across may be like Jabeez mother.

This is why you shouldn't live your life from man's perspective, it is often flawed.

Thank God Jabeez did the right thing, he went to the right person for help.

His true life and destiny appeared when he turned to God.

He became more honorable than all his brethren.

Jabeez had always been a leader, he was a hidden leader.

Like Jabeez turn to God.

Look in the "mirror" of the word to know who you are, what you can have, what you can do and to know the God who put the potential for leadership within you.

Your leadership is tied to your identity.

You can't lead any better than how you see yourself.

The scriptures show us the truth and tells us what me need to know about being connected to the Truth.

In the Truth, we see who we are.

Our identity is discovered in the Truth who helps find ourselves.

The Truth  enhances and sharpens our leadership potential.

Today Jabeez's story, his life, and his prayer though a short account in the scriptures, continues to inspire many people from generation to generation.

You are someone's hero, you are a leader.

If you are strong and courageous and keep going, with God on your side you will turn out an inspiration to others too.

You have within you what you need to make it- talents, potentials, gifts and abilities.

You have a God who loves you, cares about you and wants to have a relationship with you.

He is the one who truly knows you, who can really bless you and manifest the true you- the leader within, the leader in you!

The scriptures is full of inspiring true stories of unlikely heroes, unlikely vessels.

May the hero, the leader in you emerge!

You've been hidden, you've been prepared, you were being trained and your roots of wisdom has been growing deep with understanding into the soil of manifestation!

It is time for the emergence of the hidden leader.

 

Divine Camouflage

The God who created the chameleon should know something about camouflaging.

Camouflaging is the act of disguising the presence of a thing or person by means of camouflage.

Chameleons have this unique ability, it is one of their survival strategies, its perhaps their chief survival prowess.

This ability helps chameleons blend with their surrounding, making them almost invisible to predators and prey alike.

Through camouflage chameleons catch their prey, the potential meal does not see or know the chameleon who has blended with its environment is around- the fly, the wasp, the beetle is caught by the sticky and long tongue of the chameleon before they know it.

In the same manner, the chameleon avoids ending up a meal to predators like snakes, birds of prey, monkeys and rats by camouflaging.

As it is with nature so it is with the cycle of the human life.

As it is in the natural, so it is in the spirit realm.

There is divine camouflage.

Divine camouflage is a period of time when God makes a person seem hidden though he or she is around.

There are times when God chooses to keep the destiny of an individual hidden.

God is a God of times and season and He has a time when that individual or that individual's assignment comes into visibility and recognition.

The time before an individuals manifestation, visibility, recognition or unveiling is usually a time of divine camouflaging.

Divine camouflage is a time period of waiting for the manifestation of the aim or agenda of a life and destiny  which is totally dependent on God no matter the effort, the struggle or the desire the individual puts in for a manifestation before its time.

Like a chameleon, an individual and his work or what he represents may be around but people do not see it for what it it.

During this time, the divine is preparing us.

It is the season where you, your work, your assignment or vision may seem invisible.

It is not wasted time.

It is a period of preparation which will lead to God glorifying manifestations.

This period of time is when God uses everything you've been through to train you, prepare you, and develop you for the bigger and greater ahead of you.

During times of divine camouflage, even everything the enemy of your soul is doing to you through people, negative energies, negative vibes, and disappointments are all working for your greater good.

It can be a period when you are despised, misunderstood, facing fiery trials, and mysterious battles.

The witchcraft, the sorceries, the spells, the hex, and jinxes are all qualifying you for greater mercy and glory from God.

Those things may have covered you for a season no matter how long that season is, but the enemy wasn't winning, he may think he is but the Divine, even God Himself is always ahead of the enemy.

The works of the enemy may have made you face resistance and covered you from being seen.

Even at that, God's counsel will stand in your life.

God includes what the enemies do to us as part of His grand design and plan.

We have to trust God and His wisdom.

The strategy of divine camouflaging is part of the wisdom of God.

Part of our great responsibility is to trust God in every season.

Divine camouflage is part of heavens way to align your timeline.

It is a season of time when you undergo maturity, develop your resilience, and your roots grow downwards that you may sprout upwards when your season of manifestation comes.

It is a period in time when the real you, even the leader in you is developed.

It is a qualifying time period before your delays are turned into divine deliveries.

It is a time you must prove yourself steadfast, faithful and true that you may eventually be restored with interest.

It is a season when you qualify to have your triumphs multiplied.

It is a moment of preparation for your appointed season.

It is a time to trust the process God is taking you through.

It's a time period that precedes the emergence of the hidden leader within you.

As photos are developed in the dark, in the quiet, in the hidden so it is with what God is doing with us in seasons we seem hidden and in the dark.

During this period, our character, lifestyle, wisdom, gifts and potential is being sharpened and our lives streamlined and aligned  for the better.

A season when God chooses to let you be 'hidden' is a season that precedes your accelerated achievement, it is a season that precedes the return of your missed opportunities being bigger, better, and blessed!

As the kingdom of God is hardly seen by the human eye, as angels are not always visible to us, just as the happenings in the spirit realm is often shielded from the human eyes, that we may live sane and proper lives on earth, your growth, maturation, and what is being produced through you is not always known, seen, and discerned by people around you.

Our God loves the element of surprise and I long to see what He has made of you when you are 'unveiled'.

God's divine camouflage over you has been part of God's protective plan and strategy to preserve your life and destiny and usher you into your appointed season!

The Key Of David

 The kingdom of heaven has 'keys' it operates.

These keys bring about exploits in peoples lives when operated or applied.

The kingdom of heaven operates keys because there are doors to different dimensions in the spirit realm.

These portals or doors lead to different places and realms and also manifest different things in peoples lives.

These doors, windows or portals require 'keys'.

One of such keys is the key of David.

The key of David is a key God named after David in David's honor though it's a kingdom key owned by God but its not exclusively for David in it's use.

The Lord can use this key for anyone He has chosen to have mercy on.

This key opens the door of mercy and the door of royal authority.

The key of David also brings alignment.

David was a shepherd boy who found mercy with God,

God chose him for a purpose,

A spiritual door was opened to him, the purpose of that open door was for kingship.

David was to become king of Israel in place of king Saul.

David was not the prince of the land, Jonathan Saul's son was.

David was not from a royal family, royalty had not been in his lineage and by human calculation it was not possible for him to be king of Israel but the impossible becomes possible when God is at work, when the keys of the kingdom of heaven are in motion, and destiny is due to manifest.

God in his wisdom used a key which has now become known as the key of David to open a door or portal of royalty unto David.

Before David would become king he had been aligned with the palace through his musical gift. The key of David had been in operation spiritually in his life, it opened the door to the palace for him; the king needed his service- David's musical skill.

This was a strategic step from the Lord in David's life to bring David into his destiny and royalty.

When the key of David  is applied in a life, the abilities and potential of that person becomes visible, anything that person can do will become visible, there will also be a need and a demand for it.

For David it was his ability to play the harp and his fighting skill.

They key of David aligns us in life and helps us fulfill our destiny.

It's a powerful key of the kingdom of heaven.

It's a key in the hands of Jesus Christ, one of the many wonderful keys in His hands..

This key opens doors to high places, and makes an authority out of nobodies.

Anyone the Lord uses the key of David for is a person who has received the Lord's mercy.

May the key of David and the keys of the kingdom be at work in your favor!

Divine Alignment

Alignment refers to the arrangement of things in a straight line, the putting of things in correct relative positions.

Alignment is linked with unity, for unity to exist there must be understanding, for understanding to come into effect there must be something to understand which is knowledge.

Alignment reflects order and meticulousness.

God is a God who aligns.

He aligns us with those our lives need, those who matter to His plans and purpose for us, He aligns us with our destinies.

When people are aligned it means they are in a position of agreement and alliance.

Alignment is a word that's been coming to me lately.
It's a great thing to be aligned to your progress, success, victory, destiny.
It's a wonderful thing to be well aligned to God.
To be well aligned is to be well positioned, it refers to your position and proximity to a thing.

Recently I was reading the book of Matthew, the second chapter, its an interesting chapter that details the birth of Jesus & the events around His birth and it was interesting to see that the Star of Jesus led the wisemen to the location where Jesus was.
It also stayed right on top of the structure where Jesus was in. 

This suggests to me that the Star of Jesus in heaven was well aligned with Jesus on earth.
When your star is not in alignment with you there will be unnecessary issues for you here here on earth.
Jesus' Star is a bright, living, moving Star.
His Star was alive & free!
Free to move and free to guide the right people to where Jesus was. Free to be properly aligned with the earthly Body it represents in the heavens.
When a persons star is captured, confined, covered, cornered, or tampered with it causes all sorts of issues to the individual it represents on our earthly plain.

Your star has a lot to do with what and who you attract.
May your star be well aligned with you!
It's time for destiny, purpose, glory, honor & the new.
In Jesus name!

Divine Secret Agents

 There are a number of films about heroic agents, secret agents- Jason Bourne of the Bourne franchise movies, Jack Reacher, Ethan Hunt of the Mission Impossible movies, and James Bond of the 007 franchise films amongst others.

James Bond is perhaps the most popular secret agent of the movie world, followed closely by Ethan Hunt of the mission impossible films.

Secret agent characters, true to their job title operate in secrecy, their effectiveness in carrying out their operations is often aided by the element of surprise and secrecy, its in their opponents not knowing who they are or what they are up to as they go about their mission and their assignment.

These secret agent movies entertain us.

Real life secret agents exist, we have spiritual secret agents too.

When I think about the kingdom of heaven, I find we have secret agents from there.

Angels are the secret agents of the kingdom of heaven.

They are secret agents because they minister to and serve the saints, often in secrecy because they are not seen most times. They choose to be invisible.

Their invisibility is essential so as not to disrupt our daily lives and distract us, this way life continues as usual, or so it seems.

We feel their presence at times, we see a manifestation of their handiwork and we know from the scriptures they are around, we accept their ministry to us from God by faith.

They are secret agents of the kingdom of heaven, God's secret agents doing God's will in heaven faithfully and doing God's will on earth loyally.

They don't ask to be seen and they don't want to be seen.

Just like human secret agents, these agents of the kingdom of heaven prefer to carry out their work effectively behind the scenes.

That their operations are being carried out unknown to us in most cases, does not change the fact that their assignments and various missions are full of battles, drama, warfare and perhaps excitement.

Secret agents live very adventurous and interesting lives, they go on very exciting missions, sometimes traveling to the furthest corners of the earth to carry out a service for the nation, kingdom, government or dignitary they represent.

In the same manner, divine secret agents travel through space and realms on behalf of God their King, and the kingdom of heaven to achieve God's aim, plan, and purpose wherever they are sent to and to whomever they are sent.

As we see in spy and secret agent movies, secret agents face resistance and have to fight off opponents and enemies to salvage a situation, save a people, or the world.

That is not far from the truth with divine secret agents fighting off resistance for the sake of the saints, the advancement of the kingdom of God and by the command of the King!

Of course, secret agents as we see in these movies are always equipped with all they need for their mission by the group or nation they represent. They are provided for and taken care of.

 hey have the coolest gadgets, the cars, the money, the clothes, the connection to intelligence and data for the job at hand. These are some of the things that make secret agents so cool and keep us glued to secret agent movies, talk about James Bond!

The divine secret agents of God, even the angels; are also equipped with all they need to do God's will, carry out their mission, and minister to and for the saints!

They receive direction concerning what to tell us, what to do for us, where to go, and how to go about it as they are connected to divine intelligence even God Himself!

They have the 'gadgets' - the wings, the light, the presence, the armor, the sword, the shields, the presence, the wisdom.

They see a lot and experience a lot, as they travel through space, time and realms.

Your heavenly Father's divine secret agents are reliable and equipped. You should be excited.

The saints of God on the earth can operate as secret agents for God too, we should.

We should be about the Father's business!

Keep The Flag Flying!

 I have a responsibility to keep the flag of the kingdom flying, so do you if you are a child of God.

Sons and daughters of God are ambassadors of God's kingdom, on this earth we have to raise up the flag of God's kingdom.

Flags represent nations. Every nation has a flag.

Groups, churches, ministries, business and organizations can have flags too.

Flags can be associated with groups that represent a nation, a cause or movement.

The kingdom of God has a flag and when we raise it up God is glorified through us.

I have chosen an image with a red flag for this write up, the red color represents the blood of Jesus Christ.

It is through the blood we all come into the kingdom of God, without the blood which tackles our sins we don't even have grounds to repent.

Thank God for the blood of Jesus Christ!

That blood is evidence of His love to you and I.

His banner over us is love!

Raise your flag, the kingdom flag.

It is evidence of victory.

We raise the flag in victory by faith!

The horse is an animal that has many good qualities and has positive representations.

Horses are known for strength, courage, speed, endurance and being very useful.

Horses symbolize freedom, acceleration, dignity, transportation and royalty.

Horses are animals the rich would usually buy or own, it is rare to see the poor own horses.

Princes ride on horses, royals ride on horses.

Every citizen of God's kingdom is a prince or princess of God's kingdom, we are royals.

Angels are spirit princes of God's kingdom, and the archangels are chief princes among angels.

In the spirit realm, angels have spirit horses and even our Lord Jesus rides on a horse as a conqueror and king!

In the kingdom of God there is a dignity ascribed to you, you ride a horse as a royal.

Whatever you do here on earth, press into the kingdom of God.

There is a lot for us in there and we can draw from that realm into our earthly plane.

There is freedom in God's kingdom for you, it can manifest in your earthly walk.

Your spirit/kingdom horse can show up in your earthly plane.

When this happens speed or acceleration takes place in your life, especially in the areas where things have been delayed

Your royalty and dignity also becomes more apparent here on earth because the horse is a spirit, a gift, an angel animal sent to help you. He will cause divine acceleration!

Our mandate of dominion is made possible through our horses, it helps us take territories and ascend our mountain top.

We are royal soldiers of God- princely knights and royal warriors from the realm of the kingdom through Jesus Christ.

We are soldiers in the arena of the earth and we have the world and the "cloud of witnesses" watching us, the cloud of witnesses are the heavenly audience in the arena we are in, we are on our horses and our faith thrills the audience. They cheer us on from the grandstands of heaven.

The spot light is on you dear saint of God.

The flood light is shinning on you.

The flood light is the light of Jesus Christ.

We ride horses and raise the flag of the kingdom.

We raise this flag in triumph, through faith, unto glory!

With kingdom joy and victory we raise the kingdom flag.

Let's keep that flag flying!

A Diligent Man

 A diligent man is one who the scripture talks about as a man who will stand before kings and not mere men.

This shows that our diligence can make a way for us, and get us noticed.

Diligence should sharpen expertise.

Expertise means we have the developed skill in a certain area(s) and we have become really good at what we do.

As we are diligent at what we do, we get better at what we do, and expertise increases.

God has a way of making His obedient children come into some kind of prominence and recognition.

One of the ways He has always done this is by granting His people favor in high places.

He orchestrates scenarios where the expertise, the skill, the ability, the graces and talents He has put inside His sons and daughters are needed or in demand especially by people in high positions.

Joseph stood before Pharoah, Daniel stood before Nebuchadenezzer,  Jesus stood before Pontius Pilate, and Paul the Apostle stood before Governor Felix, Governor Festus and many other dignitaries during his ministrations.

The shepherd boy who evolved into the legendary king David of Israel stood before king Saul at a time the king needed a skillful musician.

David the shepherd boy was a skillful and diligent player of the harp, it brought him before the king of his land.

There is someone watching you.

There are people watching you.

"There is someone watching you who is capable of greatly blessing you"

So, keep doing what you're doing right and keep going!

God is the Master planner, the Master orchestrator, and the Master creator.

He has a good plan for your life, He can orchestrate scenarios no man could have thought up which will benefit you, He can create scenes through which He will be glorified in your life.

No man could orchestrate the promotion Joseph had, only God could have orchestrated that scenario.

Only God could have lifted Joseph the way Joseph was lifted, only God could have planned that kind of life for him.

Only God could have masterminded Daniel's life and timeline.

Only God could have weaved that kind of story for Daniel and given him the excellent spirit that made him serve under four kings including the Cyrus the Great.

Only God could have planned the missionary journey of the Apostle Paul that led to him sharing the gospel with people of both low and high standing.

Only God could have made the building of Solomon's temple a reality, it was one of a kind and there was nothing like it upon the earth, it was one of Solomon's greatest accomplishments.

Solomon was diligent with the use of the wisdom God had given him and kings from nations of the world came to learn from him.

There were skilled artisans who stood before Solomon whom Solomon commissioned for the design of the temple, their diligence and skill at what they did brought them before king Solomon.

 Hiram was the lead craftsman who was responsible for the building of the temple, he was  skilled in architecture and design and lead the team of other craftsmen.

As we get diligent at developing our skill, and diligent at using our skill, talents and abilities the Lord can bring us into favor with those who require our expertise especially men of good and high standing.

This is a Biblical fact.
