A Heart of Wisdom

‘Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.’ Zechariah 10:1 KJV

Welcome to a new month full of possibilities. We have the opportunity at the start of every month to shape what our experience will be for the rest of the days of the month. Sometimes we start a month strong and taper of somewhere around the middle and start trying to pick up again towards the end.

 
Zechariah 10:1 above tells us that the Lord will give showers of rain to every one grass of the field. From this we know God is both willing and able to water the month so we function in total purpose and productivity every day of the month. The first step is asking Him for the rain and that one of the keys to activating the watering is through prayer. What makes the difference isn’t just the activity of prayer, but the content.

This series we are going to explore how to intentionally design every day with specific and targeted prayer so that every day is not only watered, but fruitful, generating results that evidence the hand of God in our lives. Click here to download the study.

“There’s an amazing door of opportunity standing wide open for me to minister here, even though there are many who oppose and stand against me.” 1 Corinthians 16:9 TPT

“I have promised to rescue you from your oppression in Egypt. I will lead you to a land flowing with milk and honey—the land where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites now live.” Exodus 3:17
The land the Lord promised to the Israelites was already actively occupied by several nations, yet God said He had already given them this land. The year ahead is represents an amazing door of opportunity that the Lord has opened wide open for us, but let’s not be naive – there are many that will try and oppose us, many of whom may appear to be mightier than we are. This is because just as in the time of Moses, there’s no uncontested territory in life: expansion in territory for one may mean a corresponding reduction in territory for another. The more territory we take, the more that will be dispossessed. Thus, contention is inevitable. However, there’s a posture we must maintain in addressing this opposition from the vantage point of people who have already won the battle.

This series we’re exploring the 7 types of postures a warrior can take when contending for territory against “giants”. We trust the Holy Spirit to bring illumination and counsel regarding our specific circumstances and opportunities as we go through this series. Click here to download the series.

“Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”” Ephesians 5:14

There’s a phenomenon known as sleepwalking, when a person is asleep but goes through the motions of performing an activity. Similarly it’s possible for us to be asleep in the spirit, going through motions but not making tangible progress. Oftentimes it’s lack of spiritual awakening that leads to us not attaining the fullness of all God has for us. What does awakening mean?

*The act of awaking from sleep

*A revival of interest or attention

*A recognition, realization, or coming into awareness of something

The Lord recognises the importance of an awakened spirit this season in enabling us to can fully partake in all He has already prepared for us. Join us this series to partner with the Holy Spirit as He guides us into a spiritual awakening that will transform our lives and destinies. Click here to download the series.

‘I will bring my exiled people of Israel back from distant lands, and they will rebuild their ruined cities and live in them again. They will plant vineyards and gardens; they will eat their crops and drink their wine. I will firmly plant them there in their own land. They will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them,” says the Lord your God.’ Amos 9:14-15

The months ahead hold a lot of promise and one of the things we should expect as believers is the expansion of our relationship with God. A committed, intentional and consistent walk with God will always yield results and one of the results we should expect is restoration.

‘For the Lord will restore the excellence of Jacob like the excellence of Israel, for the emptiers have emptied them out and ruined their vine branches.’ Nahum 2:2

When we think of restoration, we may think of returning something to its previous state, the way it was before something happened to it. However, when God talks about restoration, His intention is to bring that person or situation back to His original plan for it.

What is the difference? As an illustration: Perhaps you feel you have lost time in a particular area and are asking the Lord for restoration of lost time. From God’s perspective, where you are coming from may not be where God intended you to be. So when God restores you, He won’t take you back to the less than ideal state you were before. Rather He will begin the process to return you to where He originally intended for you to be at that point.

This series we are exploring 10 critical areas we can trust God to bring restoration, and we ask as that the Holy Spirit grants us revelation and sensitivity to what He’s doing, He also gives us the grace to trust His process. Click here to download the study.

“You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” Psalms 139:16

Welcome to 2025, a year of possibilities and opportunities! Since none of us has passed through this year before, we need superior insight on how to navigate this year. Thankfully, God already has a well-articulated plan for each one of us for the year and beyond, but we have a responsibility to align with Him for the details.

Accessing God’s plan equips us to stay ahead of the challenges that will arise. It also helps us identify and maximise the opportunities that have already been prepared for us. These and more become clearer as we get to see and engage with life from God’s perspective. Join us this series as we explore how to unlock God’s blueprint for 2025 so we journey through the year in accuracy. Click here to download the study.

Through the lens of Psalm 23, we see the supernatural advantage we have as believers to address the present and future regardless of the circumstances we will face. This psalm captures the beauty of our personal relationship with God, revealing His heart for His children and His desire to take care of and provide the very best for us. It also shows us how we should relate to Him and how He expects us to relate with others through what He’s given us. As we wrap up the year and reflect on all we have encountered, we are reminded of how the Lord has helped us thus far and what He has the capacity to do in the years to come. 

Over the next few days, we’re unlocking some of the treasures this psalm verse by verse. We encourage you to join us on this journey as we trust the Holy Spirit to guide us and reveal His truth to us individually. We pray this study blesses you and positively impacts your walk with God and every aspect of your life. Click Here to download the study.

‘To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:’ Ecclesiastes 3:1

A season is a period set aside for certain things to take place. From a spiritual perspective, seasons speak to given periods of time in a spiritual calendar where certain outcomes mut be achieved. As the year rounds up, we are fast coming to the end of 2024, however many of us may be operating in different personal seasons even at this time. As we look at positioning for a new season there are four critical things to note:

🌟God’s timing doesn’t necessarily follow a January to December calendar, therefore being spiritually sensitive to when a new season is about to start is critical.

🌟The enemy always knows when we should be stepping into a new season even if we don’t, and uses that knowledge to hinder us if we don’t discern him at work.

🌟Every new season has specific requirements for us to successfully complete it and transit to a new season

🌟God makes specific enablement available to us to maximize the season, but we must identify this enablement in order to take full advantage and complete the season successfully. 

God deals with us in seasons, and He has allocated seasons to the various assignments we will have throughout our life’s journey. Different seasons open us up to new levels in various areas of our lives, with one season feeding into another. This means that when a new season comes up, it automatically means an old season is about to end. 

This series we are trusting the Holy Spirit to teach us how to position for a new season and pray that as we engage with this series, He will open our eyes to the seasons of our life and guide us along the best pathway.  Click here to download the study.

“Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:29-30 MSG

Everything in life follows a rhythm. There are times when we seem to move at a slower pace, others when we’re moving so fast, we’re almost rushed off our feet because our cadence is driven by the issues of life. But in the middle of all this there is a cadence or rhythm that the Holy Spirit has designed for us to walk in per time. The rhythm of the Holy Spirit is not static and will change depending on what the He is doing in the earth and in our lives at the time, which is why we must be sensitive to His tone and pace.

What dictates the rhythm of our life and how does this align (or not) with the Holy Spirit? How do we become more intentional about partnering with the Holy Spirit to create the cadence required to manifest success God’s way in the year to come and beyond? This series we dig into this and more, trusting the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom and understanding so we can learn His unforced rhythm of grace. Click here to download the study.

“For the Lord has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has closed the eyes of your prophets and visionaries. All the future events in this vision are like a sealed book to them. When you give it to those who can read, they will say, “We can’t read it because it is sealed.” When you give it to those who cannot read, they will say, “We don’t know how to read.”” Isaiah 29:10-12

The new year is just around the corner and this is the period where those who are strategic have already started planning for the coming year. Anyone intending to start strong in January cannot start planning then because it will take time to strategize, review and start executing the strategy. Therefore, wisdom suggests that the time to start planning for the coming year is now. How then do we plan effectively for a future that is as yet unknown to us?

We know that nothing takes the Lord by surprise, and He already has a plan for us in the coming year. However, there’s a possibility that we will miss or misunderstand His plan if we cannot see and accurately interpret what He is doing.

This series we are going into a strategic planning session with the Holy Spirit trusting that He will use it as a platform to reveal His plans to us and position us to be effective and productive throughout the coming year as we maximise all the opportunities He’s already made available to us.

“Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.” Deuteronomy 8:18

“And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:10

The Lord has made us both kings and priests in order to reign in the earth and majority of us will rule from the marketplace, rather than the pulpit. When we think of kings in the marketplace our minds may go to well known captains of industry, business tycoons etc. The reality we confront daily is that not every king in the marketplace is a believer, and unfortunately not every believer in the marketplace functions as a king, even though this is God’s desire.

This tells us there are things we must grasp to part of those that can be identified as God’s kings in the marketplace. This series we are exploring 10 things God looks for in how believers should function as kings in the marketplace. We trust the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of our understanding as He equips us to function as kings in the marketplace. Click Here to download the study.
