It's all in the house

It's all in the house

"Every man and woman in Israel whose heart moved them freely to bring something for the work that GOD through Moses had commanded them to make, brought it, a voluntary offering for GOD." (Exod.35.29) 

This is the story of how Moses built the Tent of Meeting that God commanded him to build. The interesting thing and lesson that we must take away is the fact that every thing that was ever need to start and complete the project was already available in the hands of the the people Moses was leading. 

The same thing applies to us today. Everything God has asked you to do, it is only because He has first equipped you with whatever is required to do that thing. It's all in the house. 

But you must find a way to bring it from inside of you or from those around you just as Moses did with the people. And that is the almark of leadership - the ability to harness the skills of the possibilities in and around you. What ever it is you are looking for, chances are, it's already within reach. It's all in the house. You are are the house and God has put everything you'll ever need within arm's length. Stretch, reach and find. It's all in the house. 

Good day,
Have a great day today,
Emmanluel Okoro,
(aka Mr. Lift)

Steady your heads

Steady your hands "But Moses' hands got tired. So they got a stone and set it under him. He sat on it and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on each side. So his hands remained steady until the sun went down.(Exod.17.12 MSG) Consistency and stability are two traits that we need to succeed in life. The Bible says those second guessing themselves will not receive anything from God.  "Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves."(Jas.1.6)  Our text illustrated this very clearly. Moses had an assignment to keep his hand raised. But as human, he became tired and his hand would come down and as that happened his people would lose the battle. So he devised a means to create consistency and stability, he rested his hands on a stone, with support from Aaron and Hur on either side supporting him.  We need this kind of support, the kind of systems an structures that will help to create stability in ...

Joshua Spoke, the People Moved

Joshua Spoke, the People Moved “And it happened. Joshua spoke, the people moved. Seven priests carrying seven ram’s-horn trumpets went out before the LORD. As they walked, they blew the trumpets, leading the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD.”  (Joshua 6:8) When Joshua gave the instruction, the people did not argue, analyze endlessly, or delay. He spoke—and they moved. That simple act of obedience set divine power in motion. History was shaped not merely by what was said, but by what was done. Actions give weight to knowledge. What we do with the truth we receive determines the outcomes we experience. Many of us know what is right, what God has said, and what steps we should take—but knowing alone does not transform a life. If we consistently acted on every truth we already knew, our lives would look very different. The real question, then, is not “What more do I need to hear?” but “What is stopping me from acting?” This text teaches us how to relate to God’s Word: Joshua spoke, ...

A Taste of the Hard Life

A Taste of the Hard Life “The God who gave you manna to eat in the wilderness—something your ancestors had never known—did it to give you a taste of the hard life, to test you, so that you would be prepared to live well in the days ahead.” (Deuteronomy 8:16, MSG) A taste of the hard life is God’s way of preparing us for the good life. The wilderness is not punishment; it’s preparation. Every champion trains hard before the victory. In fact, the preparation is often tougher than the battle itself—so that when the real test comes, you’ve already outgrown its power to break you. God uses hard seasons to toughen, refine, and equip us for greater things. Scripture says, “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.” But if you endure, even when you stumble or fall, you grow stronger through every trial. I remember, growing up, we used to say, “If you keep beating us, you’re only making us stronger.” It was the law of the street—and truly, every challenge we fa...
