It’s Reflection Fridayyyy! How has your week been? Are we still fasting? Are we praying? I hope you’re not one of those people who say they will do their own fast later. Everything is always “later” for them. I always feel somehow about such people because what they don’t know or are ignorant of is, there is an aspect of time that matters in decision making even as we will discuss today. I don’t think anyone needs explanation as to why this beginning of the year fast is important. Children are fasting! Yes. But adults will be talking stories about how they will start tomorrow and that’s how people have piled years of not occupying because “tomorrow.”

Let me tell you how today’s blog came about.

Like I said, when we received the theme from our Apostle, I started listing topics on how we can occupy. I looked at many aspects of life. Some I had to rule out because they didn’t make sense, lol. Yes, sometimes I write things and then delete them because I’m like, “Nah, this will confuse people more than it will help them.” This topic wasn’t even part of my listed topics, but it came to me yesterday. Let me tell you what happened.

The washing line story

I washed my curtains at the same time I washed a pair of sneakers. When it was time to go to the laundry, I decided to start by drying the sneakers you know how you have to prep dry white sneakers. It took time. By the time I was done, it was still morning. The sun was nicely out. I thought, my curtains will dry beautifully and everyone will be happy, right? I made my way to the laundry and guess what? The lines that were not full at the time when I could have started with the curtains were now fuller than my stomach at 6pm when we break the fast. No space. And I’m not exaggerating, there wasn’t even space to hang a handkerchief. Even the lady who had hung her clothes was still squeezing more things in. Again, like me after 6pm.

I stood there for a while looking at what’s happening to my dezzztiny. The space there was maybe to hang curtains of a rat house Lol. That’s when it hit me , I should have come in earlier and then done the sneakers later, because the sneakers didn’t even need the washing line. I turned back with my curtains. And the whole day, I kept checking. She probably hung the clothes and went somewhere, because even when they were dry, nobody came to clear the lines for me. The reason why wet curtains that were supposed to be on the lines were in the house still wet is, I decided to occupy late.

Some people are going to do this , this year. You have your things ready, but you’re starting with the most unimportant ones. You’re supposed to register a business or start pushing ABC, but instead you begin with the least important things. By the time you finally get to what matters, the spaces are already filled. This January you could’ve been busy already occupying but you started off with rest or something that could be done later. There are no gaps in this life that nobody wants to fill. Someone wants what you want too.

The sneakers needed to be dried too , yes, but I could have done that after, because I was going to put them on the balcony anyway. Someone will occupy before you, if you keep dragging your feet. The registration for university? Why do it “later” when you are not the only one who matriculated in 2025. “I have favour, doors will open for me. 11th hour miracle. Wara wara.” Then you start to groan and travail on things that just needed to be addressed on time. Using positive declarations to cover up for your decision to be slow. “Let the wind carry her clothes to Durban and clear room for me to put my curtains!” And we think God answers such prayers? Must people who were diligent and serious be removed from the posts because of you?

What’s another lesson there? You are not the only one applying. You’re not the only one who wants to occupy. Everyone who heard the word has plans and some have the exact plan as you. I wasn’t the only person who decided to do laundry on a Thursday morning, and because I wasn’t the only one, it means other people’s laundry was just as important as mine. It wasn’t based on who has lived in the complex longer, who is younger or older, it was based on who got there first. Getting there first matters! We have seen it in almost everything.

Throw away the mindset that you will find space because you are younger, older, or pretty; the world doesn’t care. I’ve seen people do this many times, especially elders , they stand at the gate talking and chatting, enter the room very late, and there’s no chair anymore, and guess who stands up? A younger person. It is right to honour our elders, by the way , I’m just saying, honour the time. Don’t use age or anything as a privilege this year, or you may not occupy. The ones who set out first, who have planned to have their laundry dry today so they can focus on other things are already on the washing line. Maybe wena you are even still sleeping, you haven’t done the laundry lol.

Occupying on time is so important, I can’t even stress this enough. Maybe that’s even why we fast every January, but I know someone is already planning to kick start theirs later, with no consciousness of time at all. The Bible says, “Of the sons of Issachar, who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do” (1 Chronicles 12:32). Why would God give a group of young men understanding of time? Why is time so important to God? By the way, my book A Thing Called Time will help you A LOT this year , it is a tool for life decision-making and for understanding how to make the most of time. Buy it.

You need to understand that nobody is going to take the blame for your delayed obedience this year nobody, not even Satan. “Oh, I was lazy,” “Oh, I was a bit sick, l think dust entered my eyes” not even those things. Sometimes I’ve had to do things not perfectly fine because it mattered that they were done at that time. You have to check the time! Check the clock! How old are you?! “Oh, that’s rude. Age is nothing but a number?” Sweetheart, age is not just a number, it’s how old you are! Imagine if I decided that age is just a number so I’ll do my grade one class now, learning to write and crayon and all those things kids learn.

The early bird does catch the worm. Don’t be fooled by sentimental phrases that comfort and pamper you into delayed action. “Oh, you poor thing, you still have 11 months, you can surely build a business, start your year soft. Don’t rush,” says the voice of deceit. Sometimes you have to rush people of God. We listen to that voice of deceit every year, and before we know it, it’s December. Do you know what God said to Joshua? “You are now old,” but you haven’t done ABC meaning there’s a time God is expecting me to finish certain things. Joshua l was hoping at this age and time you have occupied more cities so you grew old but wasted time.

We have to do part two because I have so much more to say on this. Occupy on time. Why must you always be doing “catch up”? Why not do things on time? Or else you’ll be like me, the spaces will fill up, you’ll go back with wet curtains and a house without curtains, and you’ll have nobody to blame but yourself. Start with the curtains, then the sneakers okay? Have a wonderful weekend, and please, consider these things. I love you 💕

Now Joshua was old and advanced in years, and the Lord said to him, ‘You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.’

Joshua 13:1 ESV

Hello God’s people! Smile for two seconds. Yeah some of you don’t smile like EVER. So today let’s talk about favour. There are things that I’ve seen happening in people’s lives that could not have happened had it not been for favour. Some doors don’t open because of qualifications, money, or connections they open because of favour.We have prayed the prayer for favour. We have declared it. Some have even fasted for it. Yet Scripture gives us a deeper understanding of how favour truly works. The Bible says:

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” Luke 2:52

Notice this carefully favour was not only with God, but also with man. Many people think they only need favour from God. You often hear statements like, “I don’t care about people as long as God loves me.” That sounds spiritual, as if you have strict boundaries but it is actually very foolish. Because when you read Scripture, you discover that God works through people. In Exodus, God speaks to Moses and says:

“I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry… for I know their sorrows. So I have come down to deliver them.” Exodus 3:7–8

When you read that, you think, “Wow! God Himself is coming down.” But as you keep reading, the Lord then says:

“Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring My people… out of Egypt.” Exodus 3:10

Like… Looooord? You said You were coming down , why is Moses now being sent? Because God sends men to help men. That’s how God comes down.  God’s answers often come wrapped in people.God’s miracles often arrive through human vessels.God’s provision often flows through relationships. This has been the case for me many many times.  So when someone hates everyone, isolates themselves, and lives in their own little world that world remains little because it has no people in it. And if every prayer God answers comes through people, then rejecting people is cancelling your own prayers.  You become the limitation.

Favour is not one-sided. It is not only vertical , it is also horizontal. True favour is , Favour with God and favour with man. That is another way we occupy, how doors open and how destinies move forward. We need favour my people! There are places you must occupy, but favour will be the key that opens the door. Some doors are not forced open by effort  they respond only to favour. So then the question is: what is favour? Favour is divine ADVANTAGE. It is when God causes you to receive help, access, acceptance, and opportunities you did not qualify for naturally.

Favour is when your name is mentioned in rooms you’ve never entered. Favour is when you are remembered even when you didn’t remind anyone. Favour is when God places you on the heart of people without you asking.  Favour has nothing to do with certificates or hips or good English. That is why a man without favour must labour for everything. The Bible says:

“Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it.” Psalm 127:1

When favour is absent, everything becomes hard. You push, struggle, beg, explain, and prove yourself endlessly. But when favour is present, help looks for you. Ah May help look for us this 2026.  I’ve had moments where people came to me and said, “God said I should give you this. God said I must help you. Here is an opportunity. I’d like to assist you with ABC.”No application. No campaigning. No manipulation. No stories. No pressure. Sometimes no prayer. Just favour. 

Some people have left their doors open for me , access anytime. Not appointment-based. Not protocol-heavy. That is not normal. People are too busy to be bothering themselves about you. Everyone has their own life, their own pressure, their own responsibilities. But favour interrupts their schedule and brings you into the picture.Favour causes people to pause and say, “I don’t know why, but I just feel led to help you.”

That is not just charisma. Actually, favour is not even beauty. That one fades. It is not personality. It is God touching human hearts on your behalf. He stirs the hearts of men on earth. And that is how we occupy. I know you are waiting for me to talk about Sister Esther. Esther became a queen in the place of Vashti. She was an orphan. She was a Jew , a captive people. She had no status, no surname power, no background advantage.

She didn’t seduce the king. She didn’t stalk his page. She didn’t wear short dresses to catch his eye.  She didn’t position herself emotionally or manipulate access. She was simply presented before the king and he chose her. Do you know how many girls were there? The Bible says many young virgins were chosen. Do you know how beautiful those girls were? Ehh! Beauty that makes you cry 😂  They were all prepared the same way. Same perfumes. Same oils. Same process. 

You think beauty was the reason?

If beauty was enough, many beautiful women would not be crying for marriage today.  Those ladies had serious skin treatments. You think you have a skincare routine? You even skip it 5 days 😂. They were soaked in oils for months. Yet when they stood before the king,  he looked away from some. He’s like nah. You are not HER! 

There is a HER and a HIM people of God. 

That means it is possible for your king or your queen to look away,  not because you are ugly, not because you are not qualified, but because favour was missing. Then Favour is easy to trace. You can tell if you do have it or not. How many doors have opened for you without begging, chasing, or explaining yourself? If the answer is zero, you need to pray for favour. Esther did not stand before the king and start saying, “Please my lord, I’m an orphan.”(No offense to those who lost their parents.) I need to make point across.

She didn’t say, “I live with my uncle. I I don’t even have a house.” No emotional stories. Favour that requires you to labour is not favour. If you have to beg for it , it’s not favour. If you have to compromise for it , it’s not favour. If you have to drop your standards to get it , it is not favour. If you have to lie and use muti it’s not favour. It’s witchcraft. If you have to remove your underwear to access the throne, don’t come and tell us you occupied through favour. Favour is not compromise. Favour is very simple. You show up and you are rewarded.

The Bible says:

“Esther obtained favour in the sight of all who saw her.” Esther 2:15

Everyone! Not some. Not most. ALL! That one is favour pro max. I neeeeeed it RIGHT NOOOOW! To walk into rooms and people like you without knowing you  that is the favour I want. Because of favour, Esther moved from a two bedroom home I would suppose, to a palace, from obscurity to royalty, from survival to elevation. You need favour to occupy. Stop saying you will do it all by yourself. You tried last year. Try something new this year. Pray for favour today. Remember favour can even come from unbelievers. May you step into rooms and places, into palaces, into deals and roads of convenience through favour! Wellllllllllll, may you marry through favour!

You’re FAVOURED in Jesus Name! 
I love you.

This year I will bomb you guys with these topics. What I did was think of many ways in which we can occupy and as I was noting them down, I realised that the man or woman who doesn’t occupy just doesn’t want to. Sounds unfair right? Of course everyone wants to occupy, well that’s not true. We chant it but we don’t act it. There’s so many ways that if by December we still haven’t done anything it’s not that we couldn’t, it’s that we wouldn’t. It’s not that it was impossible, it’s because we did not want to. Take this truth with water, it may be difficult to swallow especially to those who hate confrontation.

We don’t call doctors “doctors” just because it sounds good, we call them that because they acquired knowledge through years of studying medicine and science, just like teachers earn their title through learning how to educate others; you can’t wake up one day and decide to be called a banker when the only thing you know about banking is having an account at Capitec or Fidelity, and you can’t claim to be a makeup artist when the brows testify against you, because titles are not claimed by desire but validated by knowledge without knowledge, a name is just noise. I’m not being sarcastic by the way.

Someone once asked me if I’m a real counsellor and honestly I found it funnier than offensive, because in my mind I thought, would I ever just wake up and decide to be that? Certainly not, because that role carries the power to either help or destroy people’s lives, we’ve seen cases where individuals forged documents to pose as lawyers or nurses and even if their defence was financial pressure, the law still held them accountable because human lives are at risk.

This brings us back to a simple truth, you need knowledge to become something, you don’t just claim positions you know nothing about and yes, the Holy Spirit teaches all things, of course He does, but the Holy Spirit is not a cover up for laziness. I am yet to see someone qualify as a judge because the Holy Spirit visited their room daily and told them not to go to school, because even the Spirit understands how the world works, and Caesar wants a certificate, not a spiritual explanation, and you cannot show up saying you have a “spiritual qualification.”

Christians need to understand this, deciding that we only want to know the Bible and nothing else is not wisdom. You may say, “I am called to be an apostle to nations,” but have you actually studied the credentials of Apostle Paul? Do you understand why the disciples were looked down upon in the book of Acts, they were called ordinary men with no formal education, no special training, just that they walked with Jesus. The system is not about to give you space to occupy just because you can quote John 11:35, they will ask if you know how to do the job, and “I will wing it as I go” will leave you unemployed while someone who may not even fear God occupies the position, not because they are more spiritual, but because they are more prepared.

This January I’m wrapping up my third book, I’ve beeeeeen reading so even if you slap me, you can’t take that knowledge from me. Some people are even worse they don’t know the Bible yet they want us to call them “pastors” and claim they want to take nations, even worse they are not ordained. Please feed your mind with knowledge, read books, join seminars, ask questions from people who know more than you, because how do you stay a whole week without reading even one page of something and still say you are serious about occupying? You’re lying to us and yourself.

The truth is, if by December you have not occupied, then you did not want to , let’s stop lying to each other and sugar-coating things. You cannot be planning to take Elon Musk’s position when you know nothing about cars or systems. Some people are not promoted at work not because they hate you, but because even if they wanted to promote you, you don’t know how to manage time, and instead of learning through a book or training, you keep offering excuses like traffic, waking up late, or electricity issues while you were ironing in the morning, that’s out right refusing to develop yourself.

One thing I truly love about my friends is how intentionally we push each other to know more. We encourage one another to read, to take short courses, and to grow into where we believe God is taking us, and honestly it has helped us to occupy. We will occupy more this year because we will know more! Just yesterday I learned about a man called Hobab, the son of Reuel, Moses’ father-in-law. In Numbers 10 when Hobab planned to return home, Moses said to him, “

“But Moses said, ‘Please do not leave us, for you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will be our eyes. And if you go with us, it shall be that whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same we will do to you.’
— Numbers 10:31–32

Hobab was not a priest or a Nazirite, he was simply a man who understood the desert, yet because he knew something they didn’t, he occupied a space he was never originally meant to. His knowledge was vision for them. I can’t evennnnnn! His knowledge was sight for them. Knowledge is having eye sight, insight, foresight. You know what to do and where to go. He was their advantage. So many people wanted to get to Canaan but only Hobab had knowledge on the ways of the desert. May we be the people who know something that others don’t.

Knowledgeable people are an asset to keep in your circle, but instead some prefer company that is only meme-knowledgeable, people who know gossip, who is dating who, and who is kissing who, but know nothing that can move their lives forward. So they spend hours on the phone talking about everything BUT how to move forward. Anyone who says they can’t read a book because they are too busy is lying. There is a book, a course, a skill, a YouTube video that can fix that issue and help you but we say we are busy. We are often never busy to meet up with a lover though or join friends for a trip. Just too busy to know something we don’t. Sometimes it will just cost you one hour, put away Netflix and chatting and build yourself up!

In closing, I’m reminded of my uncle and my dad. They looooved reading the news paper. Everything written there. They would say, what if something is going to happen in the nation and you have no idea. What if there will be a war? What if ABC ? Back then I didn’t understand and I didn’t care to be honest. But now? I understand them. You surely must know. You may say “Others became billionaires without knowledge of any skill, they didn’t even g to school.” Yeah that’s why they are losing money having to hire workers to help them think. If you don’t know anything you will pay someone who knows to think and decide for you. That’s why we pay doctors for consultation. They know what we don’t.

Why not become a billionaire who knows something. You see your brain? It becomes foggy if it doesn’t receive new information. Brain malnourishment must never be found in us this year. We plan to occupy so let’s us get our minds fed. I hope this really entered you because I’m tired of people asking for intercession on things they could fix if they inclined themselves to knowledge. Google is there. Search. Just do not think you will occupy by wishing.What do you know? I actually applaud someone who maybe didn’t have money for university but went and did a nail course than someone who decided to wait for money to go to university and they have been waiting forever while the ones who decided to know something are occupying and moving forward. We all have more to learn and know. All of us! Think deeply about these things. I love you.❤️

Happy Monday, my Yielded People! Another week, another chance to occupy. One of the things we must be conscious of is this, we can be excited about the new year, jump around with new diaries, hang new calendars but if nothing changes in our routines, schedules, or how we manage our time and resources, nothing will truly change. We might end up having a 2025 in 2026! God forbid. Today, I want us to talk about occupying through resilience.

Resilience is the ability to recover, bounce back, adapt, and keep moving forward in the face of challenges and setbacks. A resilient person can persevere through difficulties expected to crash their mental or emotional state. It is a muscle of inner strength.

Resilience is not built overnight. You may start off as someone who gives up quickly, waits for others to beg you to show up, or loses interest easily, but through life’s challenges, you gradually learn to stand the test of time. Some people never occupy because they expected their business to make millions in one month, and when it didn’t, they gave up, they weren’t built to stand in the face of attacks and difficulties. This is one of the many reasons why many people have started 500 businesses and still failed. Occupying isn’t easy in marriage either, but many persevere through the everyday challenges of building, growing, and standing firm. You cannot occupy if you cannot master how to bounce back from setbacks.

You get up even when you didn’t make a profit yesterday. No one booked your services, but you still post again. Nobody bought your merchandise, but you’re up early creating marketing strategies. They said no the whole year? Okay, resilience means we rise again and knock again. For all the interviews you didn’t get even one job? No problem, we bounce back and apply again. You’re back on indeed, linked in, sending the cvs out. Cast the net again, you are not the only one who has faced disappointments. If you give up, nobody will know what you could’ve been, where you could’ve been, or with whom you could’ve been.

“Oh, but I’m crumbling.” I understand, maybe not fully since we all take things differently, it can feel too heavy but if you don’t bounce back, nothing will change. You will just be known as one who failed, and I refuse that for you, eh. It takes resilience to not plan to end your life after bleeding for twelve years. She surely got weak. Surely she had days when she wanted to die. Surely she missed being in community with others. Twelve years of stagnation. Twelve years of unanswered questions. Twelve years of pain. Twelve years of spending money with no gain. Twelve years of trying every strategy in the book, yet still resiliently holding on, believing that one day, as she knocked, the door would open.

It’s been five years, yes but there is prophecy over me, and Scripture says we must contend for prophecy. It may not look like I’m the one my apostle declared a word over. It may not look like I’m the one with all the certificates. It may not look like people even care. But if you are resilient, you will break through when you least expect it to. Perez! We will even ask you, how did you breakthrough?!

There are people who always seem to live in stress. Every time you speak to them, they are either giving up or planning to. Always on the edge, always complaining, always comparing themselves with others, until you can almost predict what the call will be about. There is no perseverance and no resilience. Yet what did it take for Jesus to accomplish what He did for us at the cross and restore us to our rightful place as children of God? He endured the first lash, just as painful as the second, the third, and the thirty-ninth. He did not stop halfway. Scripture says, “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame” (Hebrews 12:2). He endured! He is resiliently stayed on His course to fulfill prophecy and save us.

When we choose resilience, we are declaring to the devil that we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. The Israelites complained at almost every stop of their journey, so much so that they appointed a leader to take them back to Egypt. An inability to remain resilient often leads us back to old habits and old slavery, not because bondage is better, but because freedom requires endurance. And so many choose Pharaoh’s whips over the wilderness that leads to liberty, simply because holding on feels harder. Then there’s Samson, he’s in pain, lost everything but in resilience he said

Then Samson called to the Lord, saying, ‘O Lord God, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just once more, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes.’Judges 16:28 (NKJV)

I know I don’t have eyes anymore but put my hands on the pillars. I know they shaved my head and they are laughing at me but just lead me to the pillars. I know they think they have destroyed me but I will pray again. I know I’m heartbroken by Delilah, a woman l fell in love with and hoped she would love me too, my heart is bleeding but I still have a mouth, let me pray. I know I’m in the worst state, I’m weak and weary but l will speak to my God. Not even heartbreak should make you quit!

I came to tell us in this new week, be resilient. When you fall, rise again. When you get hurt, wear the bandage and move forward. Sometimes you’d need to limp or walk slower than before. When discouragement comes, like David, encourage yourself in the Lord. You kill the panic attacks , you kill the anxiety. You do not have to commit suicide. You do not have to turn to alcohol or drugs. You can hold on until you birth your child, until the promise manifests. Whatever life throws at you, pause, catch your breath, and arise again.

People of God, as we occupy, do business, and invest, let us also learn the ways of resilience. The life of a bed of roses and chocolates is there but it’s not everyday. Sometimes it’s a bed of thorns but you lay there trusting God for a better tomorrow. I love you’se.

There was a season when a wind of “we will take over nations” blew strongly in the Pentecostal Church, especially among the youth who were trusting God for elevation, whether in ministry or in the work of their hands. It was a powerful sound for sure, full of faith and expectation, full of fire and zeal. With time, however, that wind seemed to cool off. The prayer itself was/is never wrong. In all truth, it is a good and biblical prayer. Children of God are called to influence, to lead, and to shape nations. Scripture tells us,

“For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.” Romans 8:19–22 NLT

Not to be sarcastic but many people who have prayed this prayer do not have passports. Some may believe they will teleport like Philip. Mind you, it happened once and it was for a short time that he taught the eunuch baptised him and continued the work. As for you and l? We will fly into cities and the authorities with demand for a passport. Nobody is saying you won’t take over nations but how will you get there if you eat your passport money every weekend at KFC. How will you take over nations if you won’t pass by the airport or the boarder? “Ah this year we will take over Europe!” Europe is not next door. It’s not the walk to the shops where you buy airtime and please believe me, I’m not being sarcastic. I’m actually saying faith without works is dead.

Another challenge is not the destination, but the process. You want to take over Africa but in your city or country you have not even won ONE soul. You dodge evangelism. I wrote about occupying through soul winning on Wednesday please look into it. Many want dominion without discipline, influence without instruction, and authority without accountability. We desired crowns but resisted training. We prayed for nations, yet neglected character, consistency, and competence. So which nations are we gonna take over and occupy without first being equipped to? Just name one.

God does not give nations to intentions; He gives them to the prepared. Prepared thoroughly. Do we suppose these nations are vacant? They are not. The Israelites were going to take over Canaan but there were people living in Canaan. Their journey to Canaan was prolonged do we know why? They were not prepared for war. Occupying nations will be war. If you can’t fight off sleep to pray , nations na your mate? You yawn 57 times during prayer and you will now say “This year? Watch the space!” No we won’t watch anything, leave us alone 😂

No better example than Israel. Israel did not teleport to Canaan , people of God. They travelled, they journeyed. They had to eat unusual food, grow in faith, see water come out from a rock , receive the commandments, all this is on a journey to occupy. It was literally on a trip. They had to experience all that so that when they finally step into their place of occupancy, they are not only ready to drive out other people but they can still be called a people of God. Do you know how many people are crying for nations who aren’t built in God? They get there and join the Canaanites in dark practises to their gods. Mind you, many died on their way to occupy nations. Match your zeal with understanding.

“Occupy till I come.” Luke 19:13 (KJV)

There are nations surely waiting for you. Please believe me. Some people need to kill pride. You only want to go to nations as a big man / woman but sometimes you go as a missionary. Nobody knows you. You are serving. You go a few days and scout the land and check out how the businesses are run there. Check out your competitors. Okay , since you want to take over nations, do you know more than five countries ? No. If your vision is that big, keep it before your eyes. Who has noticed that offices of big people have a world globe 🌍 photo or the globe itself on a table?

As of now you may not even know that God will send you to India but you don’t know the four continents 😂 I’m kidding. But keep the vision before you. Start calling out the nations one by one. Kenya, I come to you in the Name of Jesus, open your cities for my business. Nigeria I go through your borders with the good news of Jesus Christ. Australia, the earth is the Lords, I enter your gates with my business idea, in you l will occupy land and build up my home. You are not there yet but you are speaking it , you have the map, the passport, the word, the faith, the diligence, you are serving where you are, tell me why you won’t make it?

I’m trying to get us to understand that prayer is beautiful. We must first take over in the spirit. But if you don’t put things in place, God won’t send you to any nation because you will join them there. You will be much safer in Johannesburg because if He sends you to America and you see Delilah’s Damsels, you have not dealt with lust, you will go there with the gospel and come back sounding like you never ever believed. You will come back asking to re dedicate your life to Jesus.

What’s the first thing you need to have? In business, ministry, career? Your passport. Some people will be called for business meeting abroad , it’s part of their vision board but how they will get there, I don’t know. Maybe an eagle will come and flyyyy them there 😂 then they land on a nest with their suitcase. Put things in order. Learn. Grow. Build capacity. Make friends in other countries! You see this one? You need it. Connect with people in other countries as well. Jesus did not only preach in the temple. He was going from city to city.

I hope we understood . The light of the world is not a battery lamp that shuts down after 5 hrs of use, you must burn continually. Nations are waiting for you, are you ready? See you on Monday, I love you 💕

“The kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.” Daniel 7:27
