    LIVE AND ENJOY TODAY

    “Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.”

    Matthew 6:34 (TPT)

    There have been several teachings and trainings about planning for the future.

    People spend hours and days looking into how the future will be. They make plans, save, and make possible projections for the future. They live each day anticipating the future.

    Inasmuch as it is never wrong to plan and prepare for the future, understand that the outcome of the future is not how you try to think about it. The beauty of the future is in how best you live today.

    Most have lived each day thinking about the future so much that they end up not enjoying the present.

    Meanwhile, without the present, there is no future. Until the present is accomplished, the future will not come. The future waits for the completion of the present.

    And as long as we are bound by time, every future you look forward to will soon become history. There is no tomorrow which will remain tomorrow. Every tomorrow will become today and then become yesterday.

    There are many who don’t maximize today because their minds are fixated on tomorrow.

    Why must you live in anxiety and worry about the future whiles you have today?

    You can make plans for tomorrow, but today serves as the foundation for tomorrow.

    Imagine a student preparing for exams, and all he is doing today is thinking about the exams tomorrow.

    Thinking and worrying about the exams you have tomorrow will not give you a new excellent results.

    You will not be awarded marks for working about tomorrow.

    How can you have a job interview tomorrow and you are locked up in the anxiety of the possible outcome of the interview.

    Those who make decisions to live and enjoy today are those prepared for tomorrow.

    The best way to be ready tomorrow is to invest your time properly.

    No matter the vision you have to fulfill, remember each day forms part of the fulfilment of the vision. Therefore, exercise yourself towards the vision phase by phase. One day at a time.

    This is how great people live. No matter the task ahead of them, they take little steps each day. People on the outside may see the huge giant step, but those who accomplish greatness know it took the little daily steps they made.

    Did you read the opening scripture?

    Let’s have another look at it:

    “Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.”

    You don’t have to burry your mind in tomorrow’s challenges.

    Don’t waste today!

    Take advantage of the resources of God to produce great results today.

    Enjoy the presence of the Lord, maximize His grace and make the most of every God-given opportunity available to you today.

    Shalom!

    PRODUCE KINGDOM RESULTS 4

    “Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: [so] that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it [to] you”

    John 15:16 (ASV)

    No disciple of Jesus is expected to be fruitless. Jesus called you to Himself that you will bear fruits which will remain. The fruits or results which you are to produce are not temporal results. They are results or fruits which must remain.

    The word “remain” is the Greek word, “menō” which means “to continually dwell, stand or endure”.

    Your fruits or results must endure the test of time. Such results don’t come by chance. They come by choice and genuine intentionality.

    1. You have to make a decision you are going to do much more as a disciple of Jesus.

    2. Be consummed with the Success of the Kingdom.

    3. Contend for results.

    4. Go all out and think possibilities.

    When you think it is not possible you will not be able to activate the grace to get it done.

    Most think of impossibility because they are conscious of failure. They think more of failing than succeeding. They set their minds on defeat rather than who God is and what He said.

    Like the 10 spies of Moses. They failed to think about what God is able to do with them. And rather saw themselves as grasshoppers.

    “But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:31-33 (NKJV)

    There is a way defeat mentality makes you not reason with logic. When you observe the report of these spies of Moses you can notice inconsistencies in their thoughts.
    How can a land flowing with milk and honey devour its inhabitants?

    If the land devoured its inhabitants, how did the Amalekites, the Hittites, the Jebusites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites dwell there? These people were able to build fortified cities.

    When these spies went to the land how were they able to survive? How was the land not able to devour them?

    Caleb and Joshua had a different report.

    When these people began to give their report (Numbers 13:2_-29), Caleb felt they were not going to produce the right sound, so he intercepted their report:

    “Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” Numbers 13:30 (NKJV).

    These people went to the same land to spy on it, yet they came back with two different reports. One group thought they were grasshoppers, while the other saw their ability to overcome the land.

    What you are able to do is always connected to your mindset. Beloved, your thoughts define your possessions.

    The thoughts of fear will make you hold back and not dare to take a step forward.

    Instead of the spies communicating the weaknesses of the inhabitants of the land, they were amplifying the things they thought were the strengths of these inhabitants.

    When the Israelites heard the negative and doubtful news from the 10 spies they began to cry and rebel against the Lord (Numbers 14:1-4)

    Again we see the mindset of Joshua and Caleb:

    “But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’ Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.” Numbers 14:6-9 (NKJV)

    While the 10 spies saw giants,  Joshua and Caleb saw bread.

    While the 10 saw themselves as grasshoppers, Joshua and Caleb saw themselves as possessors.

    How do you see yourself?

    Do you see possibilities?

    If you do, then don’t hold back, it’s time to go all out.

    There is a lot the Lord wants to accomplish through you this year.

    Refuse to fear!

    Refuse to doubt!

    Start now and take bold steps!

    Glory to God!

    PRODUCE KINGDOM RESULTS 3 —

    Contend for the Results 2

    “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” 

    Philippians 3:14 (NKJV)

    Jesus did not come to supply grace just to produce irresponsible believers. 

    Every disciple has a mandate to fulfill and a fruit to bear.
    Being fruitless as a disciple of Jesus is not consistent with the intention of God. To bear fruits and to produce relevant kingdom results is not by chance. You have to make a choice to press on till you manifest the results.

    Just because Christ is in you doesn’t mean the gospel of Jesus will spread in your city automatically. You must contend and wage warfare with the prophetic word to see lives changed.
    You must take bold and determined steps to multiply the impact of the gospel within your city.

    There are people who expect to see a word they’ve received from the Lord come to pass automatically. But it doesn’t work like that. 
    Every word must be put to work.
    God told the Israelites He had given them the land for their possession. Yet for them to physically possess the land they have to fight to enforce the word of the Lord.

    “At that time I gave this command to the tribes that would live east of the Jordan: ‘Although the LORD your God has given you this land as your property, all your fighting men must cross the Jordan ahead of your Israelite relatives, armed and ready to assist them.” Deuteronomy 3:18 (NLT)

    Israel did not just walk into the land and announce to the occupants that this is our land, evacuate so we will peacefully settle down.
    It doesn’t work like that, and it didn’t work like that.
    Israel possessed the land promised to them by contending with their enemies. They knew the only way to occupy the land was by a fight to enforce the word of the Lord.

    Only today’s believer thinks the enjoyment of His inheritance is automatic. There are always spiritual forces which will contend with the word of the Lord given to you.
    You must not go to sleep, be ready for a fight.
    CONTEND FOR THE RESULTS. DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS.

    Christ’s mighty power is at work in you, to enable you to contend strenuously.

    The goal of Paul the apostle was to present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

    To accomplish this, he had to exude God’s might. It wasn’t going to happen by accident.

    “We proclaim Him, warning and instructing everyone in all wisdom [that is, with comprehensive insight into the word and purposes of God], so that we may present every person complete in Christ [mature, fully trained, and perfect in Him–the Anointed]. For this I labor [often to the point of exhaustion], striving with His power and energy, which so greatly works within me.”

    Paul the apostle of the grace of God, established this reality all through His epistles to the Churches.

    Impact doesn’t just happen. To see the results you must contend. To bear the fruits you must labor with what God has deposited inside you.

    It is a fight!
    It is according to the force of the Spirit and the determination of your heart.
    It is great to be content. However, contentment is not the opposite of contending. Contentment is not mediocrity and passivity. You must be content with what God has given you. And you contend to achieve greater results with what you have in you.

    Don’t give up.
    Press on until you reach your goal.

    PRODUCE KINGDOM RESULTS 2 —

    Contend for the Results 1

    “Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: [so] that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it [to] you”

    John 15:16 (ASV)

    No matter how much you wish to achieve great Kingdom results, you may still not produce them until you act or take consistent steps towards them.

    From the revelation of the scriptures, you will realize fruit-bearing is not an option. The goal of discipleship in God’s Kingdom, is for you to produce fruits consistent with the good pleasure of His will.

    See what Jesus said, “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” (John 15:8)

    In your fruit-bearing or Kingdom results, your Heavenly Father is glorified.
    This doesn’t happen automatically, simply because you are a disciple of Jesus.  

    You can be a disciple of Jesus and still not bear fruits. To produce results there are specific things to do. A few points were mentioned from part 1 of this series or previous episode:

    1. You have to make a decision you are going to do much more as a disciple of Jesus.

    2. Be Consummed with the Success of the Kingdom.

    Until you become interested in and passionate about the kingdom’s success, you will not be willing to take steps to make it happen.

    God and His Kingdom must become your priority. Until God is your priority you cannot invest in Him. Your heart must be after God.

    One question you must always ask yourself is this:

    How deep is my love and jealousy for God?

    When you don’t love the Lord, you will not be willing to go the extra mile for His course. You will always make excuses and seek self-pleasure.

    Challenges may surface to resist your attempts to produce results. You don’t have to give up or drawback. There is something important you need to do:

    3. Contend for results.

    Results require a relentless posture of faith. Because of the adversary’s resistance, your results will always come with a fight. This is not a fight to obtain victory; it is a fight to unleash and enforce the victory that you have obtained in Christ.

    You don’t have to fake or pretend that you have the results, you must contend for it. To have results is a faith thing. You must contend and release your faith.

    IT IS CALLED THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH!

    Paul the apostle in his last epistle to Timothy made an affectionate heartthrob statement:

    “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7 (NKJV)

    This fight of faith is a good, worthy and noble fight. It is to contend earnestly the glorious contest to guard the faith.

    In Paul’s first epistle to Timothy, he instructed him to,

    “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12

    As we have seen in the second epistle, Paul the apostle was instructing Timothy to do exactly what he was also doing. To have a fruitful experience of the faith, you must fight to express it. You must contend in faith.

    Again he said, as part of his epistle to the Church in Philippi, “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 (NKJV)

    He has to press toward the goal because there were many things which may serve as limitations.

    To press on and to contend for the results means you are not holding anything back. You have to fight, run and strive for the results.

    In your attempt to achieve results, you may be confronted by trial.

    “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.” (James 1:12).

    You have to persevere as a good soldier.

    As you are taking steps, you must remain resolute and daring. You have to press on against all odds to produce consistent Kingdom results.

    Glory to God.

    WORKING THE WORD 1

    “So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man [a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man] who built his house on the rock” 

    Matthew 7:24 (Amplified)

    The Word of God is God’s constitution of wisdom and His creative material.

    You will find in the scriptures that, God founded and made the universe by His wisdom (Proverbs 3:19; Psalm 104:24). And you will find in other places in the scriptures that by the Word of God He formed the universe (Hebrews 11:3).

    Now this is not a contradiction at all.

    (Remember there is no contradiction in the entire Bible, if a concept seems contradictory, just make time to search through the scriptures patiently. You will find understanding and proper interpretation).

    The Wisdom of God is embodied by the articulation of God. God’s Word is the expression of His thought or the articulation of His intent.

    Thus, the Word of God is the expression or articulation of the Wisdom of God.

    There is nothing God has built without His word.

    To know the Word of God is to handle Wisdom.

    Everything works by the Word of God.

    When one thinks the Word doesn’t work, such a person has not trained himself to be a practitioner of the Word.

    When you hear the Word, you must put it to work. The word by itself doesn’t work. The word works on a receptive heart which focuses on acting it.

    You must have this understanding, THE WORD OF GOD WORKS!

    And that is how God sees His word.

    “And as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return no more thither, but soak the earth, and water it, and make it to spring, and give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be, which shall go forth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall do whatsoever I please, and shall prosper in the things for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 (Douay-Rheims Bible)

    Any word which proceeds from God has a purpose designed for it. It also has the in-built ability to achieve its destined intent.

    When you decide to act it out, it will bring you the results.

    The Word of God does not fail.

    Though this analogy is limited, it should help you grasp this Wisdom:

    Imagine you were stranded in a place and suddenly your good friend parks his car by you, and tells you “Get in, I had a call to pick you up to your destination”.
    Will you still be standing there hoping to arrive at your destination?
    I don’t think so.

    You have to trust your friend, and then get into his car before you will arrive at your destination.

    That is how the word works.

    No matter the ability of the Word, it will need your decision to respond rightly to it before you will experience the expected results.

    You must trust the Word, enough to do what it says.

    Don’t assume it doesn’t work.

    The results of the Word will manifest when you act it!

    Selah!

    SEE THE RESULTS

    “And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” 

    Joshua 6:2 (NKJV)

    To fulfill ministry and accomplish great things, may seem to be challenging. Others are sometimes discouraged by the magnitude of the task.

    God doesn’t just want you to move into action.

    Accomplishing great things for the Lord doesn’t just come by trying to do something.
    You must have the right vision if you want to accomplish your task or hit your target.

    Your ability to do more begins with what you see and how you see what you see.

    Oftentimes the Lord charges His people to see.

    This is because you cannot experience what you have not seen with your heart or the spirit of your mind.

    To take over a city or win a town for Jesus through the gospel, you must first SEE!

    You cannot transform lives and bless your school, institution, or workplace until you see with the spirit of your mind.

    You must see your healing testimony. You must see the growth of your business. You must see your new level of impact.

    Look at what God said to Joshua:

    “And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” Joshua 6:2 (NKJV).

    This was a charge to Joshua to activate the power of his imagination.  

    Your imagination influences your possession.

    This was the same thing God said to Abraham and Moses:

    “I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.” Genesis 13:15 (NLT).

    Oh, glory!

    Abraham’s possession was dependent on His vision. If Abraham had seen just a small portion, that was what he was going to have. If Abraham had seen the whole world, that was what He was going to have.

    “See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—to give to them and their descendants after them.” Deuteronomy 1:8 (NKJV)

    Beloved, what do you SEE?

    Which results are you seeing now?

    These are not some words of encouragement. I am talking to you about a divine principle that works. You cannot accomplish beyond what you have SEEN.

    Jesus said, “…lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.” John 4:35

     Train your mind to see the right results.

    When you begin to see images you don’t want, shift your mind from them and redirect your imagination to the glorious pictures and results the Lord has deposited in your spirit.

    This is why you must study the Word and pray in tongues. When you pray, the Lord shows you visions. He unveils to your heart great and mighty things (Jeremiah 33:3)

    Hallelujah.

    – I keep my gaze on the right pictures in my heart.
     
    – I see a way out of that challenge (specify the challenge confronting you).
     
    – Through the study of the word of God and prayer, I train my mind to see the right results.
     
    – I refuse to see failure and defeat, I see possibilities.
     
    Oh Hallelujah!!  Gloreeey!!!
