J.G. Word of The Week: See Your Victory Joshua Generation!

by Dwann H.Olsen 2. September 2010 01:44

As we begin to transition into another natural season, it is imperative that we all PUSH through with FERVOR! Throughout the month of September, I’d like to concentrate on Living Victorious as Kingdom Ambassadors.

The year of 2010 is officially more than half way complete, yet for some of us, it has NOT turned out any way that we imagined. Nevertheless, there is still time to finish this year strong! No matter what you may be going through, know that this IS the time to “See Your Victory!” and prophetically concentrate on every promise God has spoken to you for this season of your life.

This is not the time to give up or question what God is calling you to do. Yet, this is the time to PUSH, PRESS & PURSUE, your destiny.

How do we PURSUE our destiny even when it looks like we’re off course?

For most of us, this means taking the time to really re-evaluate where we are and where we need to be in God through committing to more time in His presence.As you have the opportunity, I encourage you to read 1 John 5.

Right now, I'll concentrate on a few key verses.3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

If we truly believe in God and in His promises that ARE ours, because of the great sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, VICTORY IS OURS!

We are overcomers!

No matter what the situation is or may be, it IS NOT, too big for our God. Every battle we will ever fight, is rigged in our FAVOR! Our God has INDEED overcome the world and because we are born of God, we TOO can walk in this VICTORY! However, as we walk in our victory, there are certain prerequisites that will help us achieve victory, faster; the main one being, our BELIEF. There is no use going to God in prayer, if we don't really believe He is THE God who answers prayers, according to the perfect PURPOSE, PLAN & DESTINY HE has for our lives.

13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.  

Do you believe God can answer your prayers?

Are you confident that when you pray, God will come through for you?

I am! 

If you have any doubt, please know that God wants to give you clarity. He wants to see you SUCCEED and walk in VICTORY! As you close out this week, here's a practical application, I'd like you to try. 

Practical Prayer Application Tool

1. Get a sheet of paper or index card and write down your top 5 prayer concerns

2. Next, begin to visualize yourself walking in VICTORY in these areas.

3. Every day, in your quiet time with God, visualize the VICTORIOUS end result that you are BELIEVING God for.

4. Declare and Decree VICTORY in those areas EVERYDAY!

5.Make sure you mark the date you create this list and as the weeks go by, note the date, that you see the manifestation of your God birthed prayer results. 

Next week, we’ll move from SEEING OUR VICTORY to SPEAKING OUR VICTORY.

Expect Succes!

by Steven Young 21. August 2010 22:39

Joshua's Generation Partners w/ author and Rev. Lawrence Moore 

Are you looking for happiness in your relationships, in a job or in material things? Happiness can be fleeting, but everlasting joy can only come from God. In The Joy of being Saved and Single, we look to uncover the truth about your singleness and then help you to understand the training that God is taking you through to ultimately reveal the triumph in serving God. Take a glimpse of how God sees you at this time in your life as you look for joy in you being single. In a first of a series of books dedicated to live the life that God promised you, Lawrence C. Moore Sr. outlines how to find joy in various aspects in your life as a single person.

JG WORD OF THE WEEK: A SERVANT'S HEART

by Steven Young 19. July 2010 08:32

A SERVANTS HEART…

1 SAMUEL 13:14

 

But now your kingdom shall not continue.  The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.

Even as we reflect on that scripture and the life of David as indicative of the character traits of a servant’s heart….I want to frame a servant’s heart from the scriptures this week as a shepherd:

The selection of David to be Israel’s king illustrates how God often disregards human customs and traditions to accomplish His purposes.  By human standards, David, as the youngest son of Jesse, appeared least likely to be considered for a leadership position. But God saw the heart of the young man and knew that His people needed a leader with a tenderness of spirit or a Shepherd’s heart.

What does this speak to us?  So often in ministries, the church in general, we ostracize anyone who is new and deprive ourselves of the use of their spiritual gifts.  We get so caught up in traditionalism that anyone with an innovative or different method for reaching the lost is overlooked.  As a young preacher, I was told if the only way someone knows you are a preacher or a servant is because you have to tell them, what does that say about the character that you reflect.  Do you have a servant's heart? A servant does not have to tell others about their giftedness but humbly position themselves to be a help to someone else.  OKAY I'M GONNA SAY IT....YOUR GIFT WILL MAKE ROOM FOR YOU.

Rather than trying to find an ulterior motive when God sends people to bless your ministry or to be intercessors in your life, an effective leader expresses gratitude to God for the gift of "helps" that he sends your way.  My responsibility is to shape and mold how that gift impacts the ministry God has placed me over, while helping the person God allows me to mentor to take their availability and transfer it into usability.

Jesus modeled servanthood very well as he never allowed traditionalism to prevent impactful ministry and the presence of the spirit.

In the Old Testament, the shepherd was a very common metaphor for describing God's relationship to Israel.  Shepherding was one of the earliest human occupations. A family’s wealth was measured by how many sheep, goats, cows, horses, a man owned.

What was the role of the shepherd? It was the shepherd’s responsibility to count each animal in order to make sure none had gone astray. At night, sheep were kept in simple enclosures, in caves or within walls made from bushes. At times, the shepherd would sleep with his body lying across the gate to the enclosure in order to keep the sheep safe.

Jesus himself gives the servant a shepherd’s charge to keep in John 21:16, 

He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

We have to learn to Love God's sheep more than we love our TRADITIONS.
