A Heart of Wisdom

“Then Jacob called together all his sons and said, “Gather around me, and I will tell you what will happen to each of you in the days to come.” Genesis 49:1

Jacob (Israel) had 12 sons and each son’s story is full of intrigue, blessings, and prophecy. While the actual sons were blessed by their father Jacob just before he died, Moses also blessed their descendants before they entered the promised land. As spiritual descendants of Abraham, we also have access to their blessings and can glean wisdom from the prophecies concerning them.

This series we are exploring the twelve sons of Jacob and the blessings and prophecy associated with each one. Click here to download the study.

“… And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God’s special olive tree.” Romans 11:17

Most believers are aware that through Jesus we have the gift of salvation, but that’s not all we have received. Imagine someone having a wonderful inheritance available but the person doesn’t read the will where the details of the inheritance are contained. Such a person can go through life struggling to get the things that provision has already been made for in the will.

This is the same way through the death and resurrection of Jesus we not only have access to gift of salvation , but also the blessing God promised Abraham and his children. However, if we don’t know what we have access to we won’t take advantage of it and will end up living below God’s ideal for us.
This series we’re going through what was promised to Abraham and we trust the Holy Spirit to guide us and open our eyes this series to our inheritance. Click here to download the series.

“The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” Genesis 1:2-3

We all have questions about life that give us reason to pause. Questions such as, “what do I do now?”, “what do I do next?”, “where do I go from here?”, “how do I grow my business/career?”, “who do I marry?” and much more. What stops us from moving forward beyond the questions is a lack of clarity- not knowing what to do. And not knowing can keep us in a state of darkness, confusion and paralysis, not being able to move forward.

There was a point where the earth was in a similar state: formless, empty and dark. Even though the Holy Spirit was present, things only began to change when God called forth light. Once light came, the remaining processes of creation followed smoothly and in order. This tells us how critical clarity (light) is.
This series we’re looking at clarity – what it looks like, how it comes and how to consistently walk in it so we’re never paralysed by confusion. We pray the Holy Spirit brings illumination and speaks to your specific circumstances as we go through this series. Click here to download the series.

“And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18

There are many books, theories, seminars, etc. on power and exercising in order to achieve dominance in the marketplace. While many of these may have some value, a number are largely focused on people being the ones fully responsible for driving the process of wealth creation. This is why we hear statements where people either describe themselves or are described as “self-made”.

The Bible has a different perspective on wealth creation and sustenance as the focus is taken away from self alone and recognises God as the One who gives us the power to get wealth. This doesn’t in any way suggest believers shouldn’t work hard, have structures, acquire skills, knowledge, etc. However, the focus is on understanding that God alone provide the power that generates results beyond what a person can achieve purely in his/her own capacity.

This means it’s important to understand what this power looks like in real terms so we can partner with the Holy Spirit and recognise it when it’s in action. This series we are focusing on four categories of power, trusting that the Holy Spirit will give us a working understanding of what this looks like and how to access and work with it as God designed.

‘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.
