BE VIOLENT AND DARING
[[Mat 11:12]] BBE And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is forcing its way in, and men of force take it.
“The kingdom of God sufferth violence, and the violent take it by force.” That’s the KJV rendering. Notice the use of the word, ‘Take it by force.’ God never give anything on silver plater. Anything God will do in a man’s life will require some boldness and audacity from the man.
Heaven wants to lavish her blessings on man, but it takes the violent to take possession of them. Many people think God will bless them just because they are good people or children of God. No! It’s the violent that shall take possession of what God wants to do by force! You have to be bold and daring to be blessed. The man God will use must be audacious.
The coming year has many divine purposes to be accomplished. There’s so much God wants to do. Our maiden text puts it this way, “…The kingdom of heaven is forcing its way in…” Think about it? God wants to force His way into your life to bless you. God wants to transform your finances. God wants to impact our world. Heaven is yearning to lavish abundance on men, but it’s only the violent who can take possession of them.
The coming year will not be different from this year if your attitude doesn’t change. You must be violent. You must be bold and daring. You must be desperate to see changes in your life. You must be violent to take hold of everything God wants you to have. Be desperate to see radical changes in four important areas in your life: your walk with God, your finances, your ministry, and your social life. Remember that the kingdom of heaven is forcing its way into your life. God wants you blessed more than you do. But it’s the violent that shall take it.
Prayer:
Dear God, I thank you for enlightening me this morning. I receive the boldness to take hold of all that you’ve intended for me in Jesus’ name. I violently take them by force, and I declare in Jesus’ name that I walk on the manifestation of it.
Thank you pastor for the word. Thank you Lord Jesus for enlightening me this morning with your powerful word. In the coming year oh Lord, I’m so gonna be desperate for you Lord. I’m violently taking everything you have in-store for me by force. And I declare that I’m walking in the manifestation of it in Jesus Christ Name. Glory!!!!!!
Glory!!!
I violently take it by force
I walk in all that GOD has for me in 2025 from January to December In JESUS NAME.
Thank you Pastor
