PRAY FOR YOUR LEADERS

God has commanded us in 1 Timothy 2:2 that we must pray for all who are in authority over us. Satan is unleashing his arsenals on those who hold leadership positions in the body of Christ today. Do you know that Satan hates preachers? Whether pastors, prophets, apostles, evangelists or teachers;he hates God's vessels in the earth and will try to destroy them in any way possible. His job on this earth is to steal, kill and destroy everything that is of God and he starts with the head and works his way down. I truly believe that many men and women of God have fallen because the saints and those under them have not girded them up in prayer. I do not  know if you realize it or not, but our leaders are human too. They face temptations, setbacks, discouragement and misunderstanding. I must also say, probably more than the lay person or regular folks. Why so? Because they are responsible for more souls than the average Christian. They are shepherds over a flock and if Satan can destroy, mislead or discourage them, than he can destroyed an entire flock. Did you know that all authority has been appointed by God according to Romans 13:1? From the President to the pulpit, God has orchestrated this entire world system and everything in it. He knew Saul would turn His back on Him one day(1 Sam 15), but He still placed him in leadership over Israel for a purpose. You see friends, God has already written the end from the beginning and He has made all things to work out in His plan, good or bad. That is why when we do not understand you trust God.

The body of Christ needs to fall back on their knees and began to intercede for those who rule over their souls. The bible says that the effectual, fervent prayers of the righteous availeth much(James 5:17). Lets begin to go in our secret place and tear down the strongholds of the enemy over our leaders. Lets begin to pray for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, counsel and might, understanding and fear of the Lord for our leaders(Isaiah 11:2). We need to get serious about using our authority in the spirit and take back all that belongs to us. We need to rise up and stand in the gap for our nation, our churches, our schools and our families so we will not be destroyed. We should call on the mercies of God to cover our leaders. People of God, we need to PRAY!! It is time to seek the Lord while He may be found because tomorrow might be too late. God Bless and I love you.

IS WISDOM CLOWNING YOU?

We are living in a time and generation where everyone does what they want to do and what makes them feel good without any reverence for God nor any regard of others knowledge of God. I remember the day when you valued and respected knowledgeable people’s opinion and guidance for your life, people had a reverential fear of the Lord.  To lay a strong foundation we must understand the meaning of Wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to judge correctly and to follow the best course of action based on knowledge and understanding. To make it plain, Wisdom is following the laws and principles of the Word of God. The Word of God is Wisdom. As I read Proverbs chapter 1, I realized that many people, including myself, have ignored Wisdom several times in their lives and I can go on to say are ignoring Wisdom right now. Solomon said in Proverbs 1:26 because you have ignored Wisdom she will LAUGH at your calamity and will mock you when things come on you that cause you terror and panic. Lady Wisdom has been crying out in the streets, market place and even in your personal lives. Can I ask you the same question that came up on my spirit as I read this? Is Wisdom clowning you? Are in your situation because you ignored Lady Wisdom? Has calamity come upon you because you refused her counsel? Most likely you are in that situation because you rejected Wisdom. But the good news is that you can get back on course today. James 1:5 says, “If anyone lacks Wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all liberally, without reproach and it will be given to him.” All you have to do is receive and obey the spirit of Wisdom. The beginning of Wisdom is the fear of the Lord (Prov. 1:7). The word fear here is not to be afraid but to worship and respect God; to honor Him and His precepts. Secondly, we must ask Him to give us Wisdom and with this Wisdom comes knowledge, understanding, peace, direction, protection, wealth and health. So let us not be simple any longer but embrace the spirit of Wisdom so she can stop clowning and laughing at us.

God Bless,

Evangelist Chris Jacobs

Expect Something Great!!

God meets us at our level of expectation. What are you expecting? God can only do what we believe He can do. If we can expand and enlarge our level of expectation, we can expand, enlarge and increase what God can do in our lives. Expectation is not based on external events or circumstances. Expectation is rooted in God. It is a supernatural force that comes from having faith in God and His word. It comes from the inside out. It keeps on expecting even when there is delay and disappointment. Romans 4:18 says that Abraham had this kind of expectation. His expectation was based on God's promises. Never let go of your expectation(Heb. 10:23).

Expectation produces the vitality and energy we need to keep pressing on even when things are difficult(Ps.31:24). It produces the courage we need to take risks and do what we have done before. As far as faith is concerned, the promises of God are a done deal. Faith produces expectation. Faith is the confident assurance that God will bring His promises to pass in our lives. The evidence of faith is confident expectation. What is the fruit of expectation? JOY. Our expectation is going to result in an answer from God.

So I encourage you my brothers and sisters to start expecting good things today. Think Big. Believe Big. Dream Big. But most of all expect God to something great in your life today.
