THE MASTER STRATEGIST 2

"NOW WHEN THEY HAD DEPARTED, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, TAKE THE YOUNG CHILD AND HIS MOTHER, FLEE TO EGYPT, AND STAY THERE UNTIL I BRING YOU WORD; FOR HEROD WILL SEEK THE YOUNG CHILD TO DESTROY HIM.”
Matthew 2:13 (NKJV)

• Every Believer should live with the consciousness of hearing from God. You should be sensitive and discerning.

• You should always have it in your mind that without knowing God's Will on a particular matter, you are not permitted to take any step on it.
• God should be in your sleeping and waking thought, and nothing should take your attention away from Him. You live, walk, and do whatever you wanted to do with this consciousness. You want to carry God along in whatever you wanted to do.
• Nothing should take your attention away from Him, and His Word. You should always have the consciousness of His presence with you, and you should always Acknowledge that.
• You talk to God freely, some who could not understand it might be wondering about whom you are talking with.
• You converse with God through the Holy Spirit on the inside of you, as you go about your activities; either when alone at home, in your car, in the bathroom, or wherever.
  THIS is also called fellowshipping with God or communion.
• Acknowledging His presence in your life always. He wants it. In fact, He is waiting for it. Failure to Acknowledge God's presence in your life always, could make you miss a number of things, as a Believer.
• The vital informations that are needed for your growth, increase, and success; in whatever you are assigned to do, could only be gotten through your fellowshipping with Him—having a communion with God.
• This is the reason why most of the people, believers, who walk intimately with God, do not talk much when you are around, or with, them.
• Talkactiveness is one of the signs of lack of spirituality and shallowness in the things of the Spirit.
• A spiritual person, that is, someone who is walking in the Spirit would not be a person who talks much. The Bible even says, Sin cannot but be, If you always talk—If you talk too much: "IN THE MULTITUDE OF WORDS SIN IS NOT LACKING, BUT HE WHO RESTRAINS HIS LIPS IS WISE" (Proverbs 10:19 NKJV).

• If you had a purpose that you live for, which I know you had, the devil and his agents would be there to contend with you.

• The devil in the person of Herod wanted to kill the Baby Jesus, to abort the purpose of His coming to the world.
• In your God-given assignment, the devil, in the person of Herods, the human agents, would want to stand against you.
• Some of these people would want to stop you, or frustrate you, and cause you to fail, or even kill you that the vision might not be a reality—might not be fulfilled.
• If the coming and the purpose of Jesus Christ could be challenged, know that, your own purpose or the assignment given to you would also be challenged.
• You had to be sensitive in your walk with God, there has to be a close tie between you and God, who has given you the vision.

• God later told Joseph to return to the land of Israel with the Baby, Jesus, and the mother, Mary; after the death of those who sought the life of the Baby—Jesus:
19 NOW WHEN HEROD WAS DEAD, BEHOLD, AN ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED IN A DREAM TO JOSEPH IN EGYPT, 20 SAYING, “ARISE, TAKE THE YOUNG CHILD AND HIS MOTHER, AND GO TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL, FOR THOSE WHO SOUGHT THE YOUNG CHILD'S LIFE ARE DEAD.” 21 Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel" (Matthew 2:19-21 NKJV).

• God would eventually deal with those who attempted to stop you or get rid of you, If you obeyed Him to the letter, as He led you on the way.

• You will not die, but live, to fulfil God's purpose in Jesus' name.

• Should there be any ailment in your body, receive your healing now in Jesus' name.
• You will live in health in Jesus' name.
  Peace!

STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. As you took the steps A and B your name is written in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).

• If you took the steps As highlighted above, congratulations, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
