4 Keypoints From: Take A Break

  • Many people break down because they hardly take breaks. Sometimes, the reason you feel frustrated is that you have not taken a break in a while.
  • Taking time to rest will help you to be more effective when you resume your work. (1 Kings 19:1-8)
  • Taking a break is not expensive. Just try sleeping and eating only for one day, and you will see the difference.
  • Don't wait for a doctor to put you on bed rest because by then, it will be more expensive, and you'll have to rest for longer time than you want to.

  • “God did not create your body to work non-stop. Take a break every now and then.”

    Memorise: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. (Psalm 23:2)

    3 Keypoints From: Focus

  • When the devil is trying to put many "weights" on you to distract you, people may criticise you, lie against you, and say negative thins about you. But you must stay focused.
  • The "weights" will not only be from people that dislike you; some of them will be from people that love you. Their praises for example.
  • You are carrying your life in your hands; don't let anyone make you lose focus.

  • “Set aside every weight that the devil is using to distract you (Hebrews 12:1-2) and focus on achieving God's purpose for your life.”

    MEMORISE: Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. (Proverbs 4:25)

    3 Keypoints From: You Have To Wrestle

  • Your father may have settled some things on your behalf, but you still have your own individual wrestling to do if you want to access those things. (2 Kings 2:1-15)
  • History is full of examples of people whose parents were very rich but who ended up poor. If you don't wrestle out your own greatness, you will eventually lose whatever inheritance is laid down for you.
  • Don't relax because you have a unique advantage; wrestle to make use of that advantage

  • “Some pastors' children think that their parents' anointing makes them immune to the devil and assure them of making heaven. However, your father's righteousness or anointing cannot cover you. (Ezekiel 18:20) You must meet God for yourself and build relationship with Him if you want to enjoy the benefits of what your father carries.

    Memorise: And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and men, and hast prevailed. (Genesis 32:28)

    4 Keypoints From: The Challenges Of Success (3)

  • When you become successful, people will shower you with a lot of praise and might even give you glory for things you didn't do. (1 Samuel 18:6-9)
  • Sometimes you will not be able to stop them, but you must pay no attention to them. Praises of men can become so addictive that you'll want to hear them all the time.
  • There is a temptation to enjoy the praises of men and not return the glory to God when you are successful. It drives you outside God's will, then leads to destruction.
  • The praises of men are too volatile to be trusted. Remember, those shouting 'Hosanna' today, can turn around to shout 'crucify him' tomorrow.

  • “The praises of men have destroyed many in the past; don't let them destroy you.”

    Memorise: Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. (Luke 6:26)

    4 Keypoints From: The Challenges Of Success (2)

  • Some people will do everything to work their way into your heart just because of what they want to get from you.
  • You will need the gift of discernment of spirits to know those that are genuine and those that are not.
  • Real friends will not always say ‘yes’ to your desires. Sometimes, they will say ‘no’ because they care about you.
  • If you are trying not to be lonely as you go higher, and you keep many friends, you will end up having many with negative intentions around you.

  • Prayer Point: Father, please give me the gift of discernment of spirits so that I can know who my real friends are and those that are not.”

    MEMORISE: “The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.” – Proverbs 14:20

    4 Key Points From: The Challenges Of Success (1)

  • Success has destroyed many people in the past because they were not prepared for the challenges that come with it.
  • The first challenge of success is pride. If you become proud, God will withdraw His grace, and the result of that will be disgrace.
  • The higher you go, the more cautious you should be of falling, and that caution should drive you to be more humble as you rise.
  • Do everything to ensure that you don’t think of yourself as more important than you really are. Don’t look down on others.

  • “Seek to serve more than to be served so that God will continue to lift you up. This is the way to greatness in God’s kingdom (Luke 22:24-2 7)

    MEMORISE: According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. (Hosea 13:6)

    3 Keypoints From: Decree Good Over Your Children

  • Some children can be naughty (Proverbs 22:15), however, the way you respond to their behaviour will determine whether those children will turn out good or become worse. (Job 22:28)
  • There is power in your tongues and this power is even more potent over your children because they came into the world through you. (Genesis 27:18-33)

  • “You will account for every word you speak over your children, and whatever they become will reflect on you also. Speak blessings over your children at all times.

    Memorise: And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. (Mark 10:16)

    3 Keypoints From: Your Spiritual Father

  • If you claim to have a spiritual father, you must do something to prove it. If you are disobedient to your spiritual father, you are not his true child.
  • If you don't sow anything, either in the form of service or material resources, into the life of your spiritual father, God will not recognise that relationship. (2 Kings 3:11)
  • There are blessings that come from the heart of your father; such blessings can never be reversed. (Genesis 27:33-37)

  • “Do what will make your spiritual father so willing to bless you that, even if what you ask for is beyond his control, he will commit God to give it to you. (2 Kings 2:9-15)

    Memorise: For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. (1 Corinthians 4:15)

    3 Keypoints From: The Future You

  • If your children make the same mistakes you made, you have not done a good job of teaching them. It is where you stop that they should start from.
  • If you are a good man (Proverbs 13:22), the inheritance you will leave for your children will exceed money. Majorly wisdom, influence, a good name, properties...
  • You must train the ones who will carry on from where you stop.

  • Reflection: How much are you investing in the 'future you'?”

    Memorise: Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget thy things which thine eyes have seen, and lest thy depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons; (Deuteronomy 4:9)

    3 Keypoints From: Wisdom

  • People who do not heed the cry of wisdom usually suffer the consequences of being foolish, and it may be too late by the time they realise it. (Proverbs 1:20-33)
  • If you want to be wise, the place to start from is to fear God (Psalm 111:10) and prove that you fear Him; by departing from evil (Proverbs 16:6)
  • Because wisdom is the correct application of knowledge, the limit o your wisdom will be how limited you are in knowledge; Also learn something new every day.

  • “If a fellow does not have a relationship with God (who gives wisdom: Daniel 2:20-22) he or she cannot get wisdom. You must first accept Jesus Christ (the wisdom of God 1 Corinthians 1:24) as your Lord and Saviour, then simply ask Him for wisdom.”

    Memorise: Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. (Proverbs 4:7)

    3 Keypoints From: Cover Not Your Sins

  • The reason God always had mercy on David is that he never tried to cover his sins; rather, he would confess them to God. (1 Chronicles 21:1-16)
  • Covering your sins will land you in destruction. When you do something wrong, don't try to keep up appearances. (1 Samuel 15:20-29)
  • Your Christian life is not about publicity, it is more of a personal relationship with the King of kings.

  • “Confess your sins and plead with God for mercy, while you repent genuinely. When you do that, He will have mercy on you, but if you cover your sins, you are risking His total rejection.”

    Memorise: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Proverbs 28:13)
