As the Lord lives before whom I stand.'  He was saying since I am in my Place of Purpose as a Prophet in Israel, I have the backing of the Lord for whatever I say or do.

She discovered her loss, when she woke up. *1 Kings 3:16-28* *Religious Awakening is the first step towards Possessing one's Possessions.*  *Anyone who is Spiritually asleep is unaware of the blessings stolen from him and cannot take any steps towards recovery.* Sleeping ...

Similarly, through our Lord Jesus Christ, our Inheritance taken from us when Adam fell, has been restored. What the harlot needs to do, to Preserve her living child is what we need to do to Preserve our Inheritance. *Let us take a look at what she needs to do:* *(1)* Abide with the king. The king had helped her before and if she abides with the King, when a need arises again, the King will help. Jesus said I am the Vine and ye are the branches...

Both of them lived in the same house and slept together, one slept on her child and he died. At midnight while the other woman slept, she took her dead child and replaced him with the living child.

Peter suddenly moved from failure to unexplainable Breakthroughs.  When the boat was at the sea shore, he left all the Blessings and followed Jesus, who is the Source of the Blessings. *Whenever there is a Need to choose between the Giver of the Blessing and the Blessings, we must choose the former for the following reasons, ...

There was no King in Israel as wicked as King Ahab who was stirred up towards evil, by Jezebel his wife. A Good example of her evil influence on him was the takeover of Naboth's vineyard. Ahab spoke to Naboth to give him his vineyard because of its closeness to his.  He Promised to either Pay him or give him a better vineyard elsewhere but, Naboth refused because it was his i...

Elijah was laying down, but the Angel asked him to stand up because a Change of Position or Posture is required for a better result in the Journey ahead. We cannot do things the way we were doing it and expect a better result.  The Second Charge was to eat in order to receive Strength for the Journey.  The relevant food at such a time as this is the Word. The Bible says Man shall not live by br...
