11 And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils. So the people fled from the Philistines.
12 But he stationed himself in the middle of the field, defended it, and killed the Philistines. So the LORD brought about a great victory.

Father is like the Head
He is the Head of the home and stirs the ship of the home. He leads in prayers, seeks the face of God for and with His family. He thinks and plans for his family. He is the eyes of his family and sees where they should be headed. He has a vision for his family and casts the vision, writes it down so that members of his family can run with it. He speaks for his family, praying for it, interceding for members of his family. He takes responsibility for his family. He is the breadwinner and provides for the family. He protects his family from intruders and those who want to divide and rule or those who want to destroy it. He brings up the children in the way of the Lord and disciplines them as and when it is needful so they grow up to be useful citizens of society.
He is the pastor of the home, caring for the spiritual wellbeing of all the members of the family.
He is the teacher in the home, teaching members of his family the will and ways of God and how to deal wisely in the affairs of life. He hears for his family and directs them appropriately.
He is a good husband, takes care of and loves his wife the way Christ loves the Church.
What the blood of bulls and goats could not do, Jesus did; the blood of the eternal covenant did.
There is now, no more condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the New has come. All things are yours. You are an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ. Everything He accomplished was for you, in regard to your health, supply, support, family, finance, relationships, ministry, purpose, and assignment.
It’s time to appropriate.
It’s time to dominate.
It’s time to meditate.
It’s time to decree.
And see it established.
Use the currency of faith.
Decree like a king you are.
Where the Word of a king is, there is power
Internalise and vocalize the Word with authority.
Say,… “For He had said,…. therefore I boldly say… “
The lines have fallen for you in pleasant places. You have a goodly heritage. You are blessed with every spiritual blessing in Heavenly places. Abraham’s blessings are yours. You are the head and not the tail. You have been daily loaded with benefits to enjoy. You are a citizen of Zion. You have been healed by His stripes. You have been brought into a wealthy place.. Say to yourself:”Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not His benefits.
He has forgiven me all my sins;
Healed me of all my diseases ;
Redeemed my life from destruction;
Crowned me with love and compassion;
Satisfied my mouth with good things
So that my youth is renewed like the Eagle 🦅
I am blessed in the city and in the countryside. I am blessed in my going out and in my coming in. Whatever I lay my hands to do is blessed. I am a blessing to God, Church, my family, my community and my generation, even generations to come. Christ in me, my hope of glory.
They wrote him off but God wrote him in. They put him in a special needs pigeon hole. They said he could not read or speak well and needed early intervention -confined to a special school.
But God put him in a different league of excellent achievers. His father and group pastor of Christ Embassy, Pastor Nelson, refused to accept their report but believed and confessed God’s report over his son.
Now see what the Lord has done.
Joshua Ngoka has turned out to be a computer Whizz kid and King’s kid and built a computer at 11.
All things are possible.
Have you been written off? Have you been discarded into the rubbish bin of life by those who are focusing on the externalities they see. Refuse to take sides with them. Whose report will you believe? Hold on to the word of God concerning you. He will perfect that which concerns you. You too will come out on top. You are a masterpiece regardless of your present station and circumstances.
Refuse to accept the lies of the enemy concerning your children, your family, your finances, your career or ministry. God has the final say. He is working in you both to will and to do according to his promises. Fix your eyes on Jesus- the author and finisher of your faith.
They wanted another child but this time it was a big challenge. The wife kept miscarrying.
They were advised to go and see their pastor. He spoke words and that was the seal and the deal done. Soon the wife became pregnant and this time it stayed.
However the medical practitioners were not so confident and thought the woman will only deliver by C-section as was the case for their earlier child. The husband stood on the word of God that the deal was done and was not moved by the opinion of the medics.
Their faith was tried when the labour took up to three hours but they remained undaunted and they obtained their prize.
You need to see them in their colours today, giving thanks and dancing for what the Lord has done for them.
Whatever your challenge, He can do it. But you have to take Him at His word and work and walk the word to obtain your promise.
19 ” God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do? Num23:19
“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matt19:28
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2Cor4:17-18
9 Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the LORD.
” Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.

Stay in the Middle of Your Vision
, in the middle of your field, refuse to yield, defend your patch, strike the Philistines down, fight even if others run, depend on God. God will bring victory.
2Sam23:11-12-11 Next to him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines banded together at a place where there was a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them. 12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field. He defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the LORD brought about a great victory.
The Battle is the Lord’s
15 And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the LORD to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
Put on God’s whole Armour
Eph6:10-18 0Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
You’re in a warfare
2Cor10:3-5 3For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
You’re a soldier
2Tm:2:3: Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2Tm:2:4: No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
Take the kingdom by force
Matt.11:12 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
2Tm:4:7: I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
1Tm:6:12: Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
1Co:9:26: I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
God is on your side
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Ac:5:39: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
Ac:23:9: And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
Who shall separate us fro the Love of God?
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
“ For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”[a]
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Zec:10:5: And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
Zec:14:3: Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Ph’p:1:6: Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Ph’p:1:15: Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
Ph’p:2:13: For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Ph’p:2:19: But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
Fight for your mind
Ph’p:4:8: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
