Do You Know God Wants to Speak Through You?

Through the last few decades, the role of prophets and prophecy in the body of Christ has grown both in acceptance and significance. These days it's not unusual to hear someone give a prophetic word in a church, at a conference or during some other kind of Christian gathering.

But God's plan for prophetic ministry goes far beyond the four walls of the church. God wants us to take the prophetic to the streets!

What do I mean by "taking the prophetic to the streets"? I mean living up to our job description as God's anointed people in the world.

Isaiah 61:1-3 tells us: "The spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for all who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair" (NIV).

Perhaps you're thinking, "But I'm not a prophetic-type person. That's not my gift." Well, have you ever stepped into a house and felt an evil presence? Have you ever found yourself in a certain situation and sensed the presence of God?

Being prophetic isn't strange or unnatural. It's naturally supernatural! All it takes is childlike faith and a willingness to trust the prompting of the Holy Spirit.

Each of us is called to be a revelation of Jesus Christ to the world. That's prophetic! We're called to

MANAGING MONEY

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. Ecclesiastes 5:10

A successful businessman once confided in another businessman known for his wisdom. "I've made a lot of money. I will soon be able to retire comfortably and do just about anything I want."

The wise businessman replied, "I've noticed that every time someone thinks they've built a tree that is so tall it almost reaches heaven, God often decides to shake that tree."

The minute we start trusting in riches, God "shake the tree" to demonstrate to us that He is the source of wealth. God wants us to trust in Him, not in riches.

Trusting in earthly riches has serious eternal consequence. And He loves us too much to allow us to continue down that destructive path.

Money is mentioned more than 2,000 times in the scripture. Jesus used it many times in illustrating some important lessons to his disciples.

He spoke of the need to be good stewards of the resources He entrusts to us. He wants us to use our wealth to serve and honour God and stay away from making money an idol in our lives.

Jesus understood that He was here on earth only to do the will of the Father. "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; He can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does, the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all He does."

We must also understand that the purpose God entrusts us with money is for us to do His will. We don't live for ourselves but for the Lord and His Kingdom.

The Lord expects us to finance His Kingdom business with our wealth. Check your motives today and see if your financial life can stand Jesus' scrutiny.

Are you managing your money as a steward of the financial resources God has entrusted to you?

Prayer: Ask the Lord to make you a financier of His Kingdom business.

Scripture on sign in the sky on the birth of Jesus God and Savior Matthew 2 
New King James Version (NKJV)

Wise Men from the East

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him."

3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

5 So they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:

6 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
Are not the least among the rulers of Judah;
For out of you shall come a Ruler
Who will shepherd My people Israel.'"

7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also."

9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Scriptures on signs in the sky - 

Genesis 1:14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years

Acts 2:19-21 I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
21 And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.'

Revelation 6:12-17 Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances

I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

The King's Court

TEXT: AMOS 7:7-17
Key verse: “But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court” (Amos 7:13).

The King’s court, ideally, should be insulated from error and deception. It should be the final and objective arbiter in the mortal fight between truth and falsehood. It should be the embodiment and symbol of authority against which no other law should stand. For, according to the Bible, “Where the word of a King is, there is power: and who may say unto him, what doest thou?” (Ecclessiastes 8:4). And Proverbs 30:31 describes the King as one, “against whom there is no rising up.” 

Unfortunately in the days of Amos the prophet in Bethel, North of the divided kingdom of Israel, Amaziah, a priest, influenced the king to reject the Word of God. Amaziah belonged to the tribe of spurious preachers who minister for filthy lucre. At a time when God had measured Israel with a plumb-line and declared that the land was morally misplaced and ripe for a harvest of divine retributions, Amaziah went against Amos, the prophet whom God used to relate the harsh but true predictions. Amaziah, a priest presiding over the worship of the golden calf set up by Jeroboam, tried to incite the king against Amos, maliciously charging him with treason. 

Amaziah sought to silence Amos and advised him not to preach in Bethel, where Jeroboam chose to site his ill-advised sanctuary in a bid to separate from Judah. His message was considered too harsh and unsuitable for a rebellious and impenitent society. For this ignoble role, Amaziah incurred the wrath of God and Amos pronounced terrible judgment on him and the land as a whole (verse 17).

Today, there is a conscious attempt induced by Satan to silence the ministers who preach the totality of God’s word. The doors of most churches are shut against them because the people cannot endure sound doctrine. The choice is, however, yours to make as to where to pitch your camp in this battle between truth and error. But remember that your decision carries eternal consequences.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Nothing can harm the truth.

Jasper to stop Nigeria's oil leaks from oil pipelines

He is from Nigeria and has seen how leaks from oil pipelines pollute the coast. The diver and the engineer took his PhD at the University of Stavanger, Norway to help his country with a new invention, a leak detector .

Jasper Agbakwuru takes us down into the basement to Innova AS Lura, Sandnes. Here he tests out the prototype that he hopes will help Nigeria and other nations to stop leaks from a number of punctured oil pipeline. The invention may soon become interesting for Norwegian oil and gas industry.

It is a well known problem that the pipes that carry oil over land and under water in Nigeria are drilled and tapped for the valuable oil. Thieves does not clog the holes behind them. This leads to devastation and costs of the Nigerian nation.

Recently, the Agency reported that thieves walk away with 20 percent of Nigeria's oil production.

Put dive buddies die

Jasper Agbakwuru is an engineer and diver. In his homeland he has seen diving buddies die in the attempt to locate such oil leaks in the water along the coast that are turbid because of sand and clay. He has personally experienced how impossible it is to find a hole and describe the leak in a pipe when one can not see, and must feel his way to the hole with your fingers.

This was part of the motivation for applying to Norway and University of Stavanger. There he took his doctorate in May last year. Together with Professor Ove Tobias Gudmestad he has developed a leak detector, a tool to detect, inspect and repair leaks under water - for example olje_ and gas pipelines.

The invention will he tested out as an employee of Innova AS.

The way from PhD documents to a prototype of a leak detector was funded with support of Shell, which is one of the companies that produce oil off the coast of Nigeria and other parts of the business community in Oslo, the Norwegian Research Council and Prekubator TTO. Through Prekubator Jasper has also signed licensing agreements with underwater equipment company Innova.

Cases airspace around the camera eye

Down in the workshop of Innova he has a tank with pipes. In one of the tubes is a leak.With the naked eye it is impossible to see the clear water flows into the clear water.

Jasper Agbakwurus invention is a camera mounted on a clamp. When he squeezes it together around the pipe and blow air down through a tube, it is an air space between the camera and pipes. This enables the camera to send clear photos of the pipe and leak to a screen up on the hill.

The market is there

Eve magazine present the same day as Jasper Agbakwuru demonstrates leak detector for representatives of Oceaneering. Trond Jacobsen and Jan Ove Austrheim follow attentively when Jasper Agbakwuru says.

Technical Director Alf-Kristian Aadland in Innova says to Eve magazine that the company sees opportunities in innovative projects like this:

- I think it's exciting, and we see the potential in the market. Our role will be to develop the project further and find cooperation actors, says Aadland.
