Join me in this study as learn on this topic from scriptures
All These Things SHALL Be Added To You
The word ‘strive’ is not one of my favourites, because it means to put in great effort towards obtaining or achieving something. However in Matthew 6:33, Jesus admonishes us as His followers to strive after God and righteousness, and indeed to prioritize this ‘striving’ above any other.
A Picture of The Life God Planned for You
God wants you to live the best life- A beautiful life with Food, Water, Comfort, Luxury, health and always being refreshed by His Word and Spirit.The devil stole this life from Adam, but God restored it in Christ Jesus.Go for everything God has already provided for you in Christ Jesus
Becoming Your Greatest Dream (12)
Opposition to a Godly dream or vision is engineered by the devil and it aims to thwart the vision.
In this study, Grace shares 4 Main presentations of Nehemiah’s Opposition (Nehemiah chapters 1-6).
1. Mockery: which is a deliberate attempt to undermine and weaken someone’s focus.
2. Direct Confrontation: the devil can attack your health, peace, family, etc.
These confrontations also come to weaken your focus and strength.
3. FEAR: the enemy sends fear in order to weaken your strength, cripple you and STOP your God-inspired dreams.
4. Deception and False Prophecies.
In this Part of the Study series “Becoming Your Greatest Dream”, you will learn how Nehemiah handled these attempts at distractions so that you too will be well positioned to Recognize and Tackle Oppositions to your God-inspired dreams when they present.

Understanding How Authority Works…
Authorities are established by God to provide leadership and enforce right and Godly behaviours among men.
Jesus was an Authority on earth and He wielded it teaching, preaching, healing and generally doing good.
So indeed, the purpose of Authority is to do man good.
How Does Authority Work?
1. God is the Source of all True Authority. He is the Highest Authority. There is no Authority without God. God is self-sufficient and self-existing. He does not report or depend on anyone.
2. Every true Authority comes from God and He delegates this Authority to man to act on His behalf on earth.
3. By Submitting to Authorities that God has established, we are submitting to God. It is therefore necessary for the authorities to be truly representing God so that Submission is easy.
4. Authorities works in jurisdictions. To be relevant, powerful and useful, learn to wield your authority within your assign territory.
(Romans 13:1-7. Daniel 4:17. Daniel 2:37-38, Matthew 8:5-10).

Join me in this Study series to learn more about Authority, Its Use and Benefits.
Authorities are established by God. Authorities are established as leadership structures to coordinate people, guide them to do what’s right, and to maintain orderliness.
And God established authorities to do man good.
Jesus was a person of Authority, and He exercised His Authority to teach people to do right, to liberate people and help them enjoy freedom, to help people follow God’s order for doing things.
As a person in position of Authority understanding the Purpose of Authority ensures its rightly Used.
As a person Under Authority, understanding the Benefits of Authority will help you maximize it.
God wants us submitted to the Authorities He established.
The 2 Drivers of Humility
Jesus Examplifies the 2 Drivers of Humility from Philippians 2:5-11
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.”
Philippians 2:5-8 NKJV
-God the Son existed in the beginning as the second person of deity (John 1:1)
-He was the Word through which all things were created (John 1:3).
-However, in order to redeem man, the Son of God became man- took the form of man (John 1:14, Colossians 2:9), found in appearance as man (Philippians 2:8)
-Even though Jesus was born with flesh and blood, He was intrinsically God. God bypassed the sinful human nature in Jesus by virtue of His birth to a virgin (Matthew 1:18-25).
-Philippians 2:5-11 clearly tells us that Jesus Layed Aside His Godly rights, took the form of a man in order to save man. He did that to meet the Father’s requirement for man’s redemption.
He submitted to God to the point of death.
-He ran His earthly ministry not as God but as a Man anointed with the Holy Ghost (Acts 10:38).
-He identified as Man. He was tempted just as we are, yet He did not sin (Hebrews 4:15).
Likewise us:
We are born of God.
We have the nature of God.
However to stay humble before God, we must submit totally to God and His Word
And we must not think ourselves higher than other people- we identify as men as well. This by no means doesn’t mean we don’t know who we are or what we are made of. We are Born of God! I am proudly Born of God! ?
And just like Jesus, we too though having the form of man boldly witness of Christ and do Kingdom exploits by the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).
And we can live victoriously by faith in Christ, helped by the Holy Spirit.
