THE SECRETS OF EXPLOITS

SCRIPTURE: “…Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword...” – Hebrews 11:32-34

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Men of exploits are addicted to obedience.

Exploits are natural law-breaking events. They are earth-shaking and attention-commanding results. People of exploits like Elijah, Daniel, Deborah, etc. in Scriptures, were people of faith. They partnered with God in bringing down the order of Heaven to the earth.

 Now, let us explore the secrets of people of exploits:

1.They know God: Abraham, the father of faith, knew God. The Church of our generation is populated with people who have contracted others to know God for them; they only have second-hand information of God. That is why faith is scarce, hence, exploits are minimal.


2. They are connected to the Voice of God: They place a very high value on Divine direction and instruction. If Abraham decided to move, it was because God asked him to move. Connection to God’s Voice develops a high force of faith; it delivers a person from wrong moves and ushers him into the right place in life and destiny. The fact is, it is the right move that moves God into action.

3. They obey God instantly: Men of exploits are addicted to obedience (Genesis 12:1). They are not given to over analysis of instructions. In our generation, people analyse everything too much so they get into paralysis by analysis. But men of old obeyed God even when they did not understand the instruction.

I see God move you into the realm of exploits as you follow the steps of men in the Scripture who through faith made exploits, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: Men of exploits are addicted to obedience.

ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Avoid the error of living a life empty of God’s Word.
2. Determine to obey God no matter the cost.
3. Crave for God and His manifest Presence.
