The Spirit of Exploits

Sunday 23 August
READ: Dan 11: 32
MORE LESSON: Jn. 14:12

Exploits are brilliant achievements. They are great successes that surpass what the ordinary man can do. God is a God of exploits and so He is interested in doing exploits for us. We are in the days of exploits; the era of fulfillment of prophecies. We are the generation that must declare the might of God by our brilliant achievements. If you are really interested in revealing God properly in this generation, you must not just reveal His righteousness, sanctity and holiness; you must reveal Him by the Spirit of power and exploits. We are in a result-oriented generation and as children of God, we must engage the power of God to deliver uncommon results in everyday life. It is those results that are called exploits. In Rom. 1: 4, the Bible says that Jesus was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Jesus didn't claim to be the Son of God without backing His claims with exploits. He was holy but He went ahead to demonstrate power and rise from the dead. He was distinguished by those two exploits. As believers, we must back our faith claims with tangible exploits that the world will bow to.

Righteousness and holiness are actually seeds. When we live righteous and holy lives, we are planting seeds that should bring forth brilliant achievements. Righteousness brings exploits, success and results. Righteousness brings a man into friendship with the Almighty God and when you come in league with the Almighty, exploits become the order of the day for you. The righteousness of Enoch is what gave Him a name that everybody loves today; he walked with God and pleased God. He had an exploit that is rare in all generations; God took him away, he didn't die.

Elijah stood in God's presence and so pleased God that when it was time to die, God decided that he would not die and so he was translated to heaven in a chariot of fire. Exploits are the expected results of our righteous living. Moses and Joshua are also examples of people that lived right and did exploits. God put the spirit of exploits upon the lives of these great men and all the price they paid was righteousness. They lived their lives to please God and God decided that they would not go the way of mere men. They would be extraordinary. As you live righteously in this generation, I pray that you will also contact the spirit of exploit and you won't die small. Greatness in exploits is yours today in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Command the anointing for an uncommon result upon your life.
* Prophesy against the spirit of smallness in life and destiny.
* Ask God to make you a symbol of righteousness and greatness like the great men of God of old.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Oh God, thou “Jehovah Jealousy” arise in Your jealousy and silence the enemies of my greatness, in the name of Jesus.
