31 PRINCIPLES FOR ETERNAL IMPACTATIONS      

On By Isreal EtangewakIn ImpactationLeave a comment

              
Principle 1
Give Your Heart to God

Text: Proverbs 23:26 “Give me your heart, my son, and let your eyes delight in my ways.”



As we consider a life guided by the principles of God, we must begin by making sure that we have truly given our hearts to God.  Once God has your heart, he is able to guide and direct you in every area of your life.

There are many examples in the Bible of God working through individuals who had surrendered their hearts to him.  David had a heart that was after God, and God used him in a mighty way.  Zaccheaus had a burning desire to see Jesus, and he responded immediately when Jesus called him.  Caleb showed faith in the power of God in the face of what looked like insurmountable odds.  He followed God wholeheartedly and, unlike most of the others who died in the wilderness because of their disobedience, was allowed to enter the Promised Land.  Samuel listened to and obeyed the Lord and as a result was used by God as a prophet and judge to the people of Israel.  When God approached Gideon, who was the least in his father’s household, God recognized a heart that would respond and be obedient to him.  Daniel’s heart was so committed to God that God felt free to reveal secrets to him.

Each one of these individuals had a heart that was fully devoted to God, and all of these people are role models for us today.  Their significance in the Bible narrative begins with their relationship with God.  Likewise, our significance begins with our relationship with God.  When God has your heart, he has everything that relates to you and your life.  All of our giving springs out of the genuine relationship that we have with our heavenly Father.  As we develop and deepen that relationship, God will work in us and through us.

Heart Deposit:
Have you given your heart fully to God?  Ask him to be first in your life.

Impactation begins
with a relationship with God

RED LIGHTS AND GREEN LIGHTS (1)

On By Isreal EtangewakIn MessageLeave a comment

TEXT:  “They tried to go…but the Spirit…would not let them.” Acts 16:7 CEV



WHEN GOD gives you a green light, you must go. And when He gives you a red light, you must stop. *“Paul and his friends went through Phrygia and Galatia, but the Holy Spirit would not let them preach in Asia. After they arrived in Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not let them. So they went on through Mysia until they came to Troas. During the night, Paul had a vision of someone from Macedonia who was standing there and begging him, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us!’ After Paul had seen the vision, we began looking for a way to go to Macedonia…sure that God had called us to preach the good news there”* (vv. 6-10 CEV).

After a series of green lights, God gave Paul a red light. Why?
(1) Because the timing wasn’t right. Apollos had to go there first and lay the groundwork.
(2) Because God needed Paul and Barnabas elsewhere.
(3) Because God wanted them to be more seasoned before embarking on such a major mission.

Note the words, *“They tried to go…but the Spirit…would not let them.”* How reassuring! God loves you so much that He will save you from your own misguided plans.
The Canadian preacher A.B. Simpson said: “Often there’s nothing as godly as inactivity on our part, or nothing as harmful as restless working, for God has promised to work His sovereign will.”

Today God may be saying to you, *“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted [in this situation]”* (Psalm 46:10 NKJV). Please pay attention!

THICK DARKNESS

On By Isreal EtangewakIn MessageLeave a comment

TEXT: Exodus 10:21-23, 14:19-20
The Moses called for all the elders of the Israel, and said up to them, draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the Passover.
And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and deep in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go put at the door of his house until the morning.
For the lord will pass through the smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two sides posts, the lord will pass over the door , and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
…………..
And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them.
And it came between the camp of Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not neat the other all the night.

DEFINITION
Darkness is the noun form of the word “dark” which means having little or no light. It can also mean hopeless, sad or cheerless situation. Darkness of the mind means that the point/ matter is not clear to or had disappeared from the mind of the person. Then, the mind can be said to be in darkness.
Thick darkness is the most extreme form of darkness- completely black with no ray of light at all.

CONTEXT
The children of Israel were slaves in Egypt. At a point God ordained Moses as a deliverer and sent him to Pharaoh to proclaim the message of liberty for the Jews. However, pharaoh was stubborn and would not allow them to go. Thick darkness as in Exodus 10:21-23 was one of the ten plagues that God used to afflict the Egyptians.
Also, in Exodus 14:19-20, God used a cloud to separate fleeing Israelites from the pursuing Egyptian army. There was light in the camp of the Israelites, but the darkness in the camp of the Egyptians who sought to recapture them and keep them in bondage. Thus, they could neither fight nor recapture the Israelites.

RELEVANCE
Thick darkness can be used as a spiritual weapon to fight several enemies:
1. Stubborn oppressors: You can invoke or declare the thick darkness of God upon wicked oppressors who are tormenting your life. These may be human or spirit beings who are using evil powers to afflict you or to keep those you love in bondage. Once they are overcome by the darkness, they will not be able to proceed further with their evil schemes.
2. Stubborn pursuers: certain enemies of your soul, from whom you escaped ( e.g. when you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour) could still seek to pursue the torment you. Their aim is to recapture you and continue with their wicked reign in your life. The thick darkness is useful. To separate you from them, as God separated the Egyptians from the Israelites.
3. Familiar spirit love to monitor their victims. The thick darkness of God can be used to blind them so that they can no longer see their victims.
4. You can also invoke the thick darkness of God against all those who use demonic mirrors, telescopes, etc to monitor or remote- control your life or the lives of those you love. That way, they shall not be able to see and to continue their evil works.
5. Thick darkness can be used to attack those who need to move about to do their evil works. These include armed robbers, hired assassins, etc

PRAYER POINTS
1. Father, by your power, I release thick darkness upon every stubborn pursuer of my life in Jesus’ name.
2. Every satanic pharaoh standing against my promise land I cover you with the cloud of thick darkness.
3. I command every Egyptian oppressor running after my life, be covered by the thick darkness of God.
4. Every familiar spirit monitoring my life is covered by thick darkness in Jesus’ name.
5. Every satanic programme against my family is covered by thick darkness in the name of Jesus.
6. I command every stubborn pursuer of my prayer life, to be blindfolded by the thick darkness of God in Jesus’ name.
7. Every demonic mirror monitoring the progress of my marriage is covered by thick darkness in Jesus’ name.
8. I command the thick darkness of God to block the activities of household wickedness monitoring my marriage in Jesus’ name.
9. O! Lord, by your power, I cover every familiar spirit making me to bed – wet with thick darkness in the name of Jesus.
10. Every programme of evil doers against my life, family and business, be covered by thick darkness in Jesus’ name.

THOUGHTS ON GIVING

On By Isreal EtangewakIn MessageLeave a comment

TEXT:  “If it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously. Romans 12:8 NIV (1995)

THE BIBLE says; *“We have different gifts…If a man’s gift is…contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously”* (vv. 6-8 NIV 1995).

Every believer receives grace for giving, but some of us have the gift of giving. Who are these people? They have a gift of making money. Everything they touch turns to gold. They have the Midas touch. They know how to make wise investments and recognize a good deal. Indeed, good deals are drawn to them like iron to a magnet. They know how to get the best return on their money. If you’re one of these people, you must realize that your ability to accumulate wealth is actually a gift from God:
*“And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth”* (Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV).
God also says, *“ I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go”* (Isaiah 48:17 NKJV).
But don’t let prosperity lead you into pride. You’re not wealthy because of your ability to wheel and deal, but because God has blessed you. And He has done it for a reason; so that you can be a blessing to others.

God told Abraham, *“I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing”* (Genesis 12:2 NKJV).
That means when God taps you on the shoulder and tells you to write a check, don’t argue with Him. Just say, “How much?” You say, “Why should I do that?” Because God can not only add, He can subtract.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF WHEN YOU’RE ALONE

On By Isreal EtangewakIn MessageLeave a comment

TEXT:  “Turn to me and have mercy, for I am alone and in deep distress.” Psalm 25:16 NLT

DAVID, WHO committed adultery with another man’s wife, prayed:

*“Turn to me and have mercy, for I am alone and in deep distress. My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all!…See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me! Protect me! Rescue my life from them! Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge. May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you”* (vv. 16-21 NLT).

How can you protect yourself in areas where you’re vulnerable?
(1) By staying close to God. When you’re lonely, distancing from God doesn’t make sense. It just increases your exposure to things like infidelity, pornography, drugs, and alcohol.

(2) By coming out of hiding. Get involved in some aspect of ministry. Be willing to be more transparent by getting to know others and letting them get to know you. Shakespeare said, “Fire that is closest kept burns most of all.” When you spend time around people who truly care about you, loneliness ceases to be such an issue.

(3) By taking the focus off yourself. Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Victory comes by reaching out to those in need; by giving of yourself, praying for them, loving and serving them.

(4) By forgiving those who’ve hurt you. Isolating yourself when you’ve been hurt just leads to bitterness. Forgive, turn it over to God, let Him deal with your offender—and get on with your life.
