Reinforcements

ree

Dear friend,


Let me tell you a story. When I was in high school, I played varsity soccer. I wasn't at high school varsity level. The girls on my team had been playing club soccer since kindergarten. I played Nigerian yard-style soccer my whole life.


I was ok enough to make the team, but it was fast paced for me. I was intimidated.


So even though I play forward, I'm a striker, I chose to play defense. Defense felt like less pressure. Less spotlight. Less judgement. Less opportunity to mess up.


Defense, as a focus and a strategy, can feel like you're doing something, but it is a work of iniquity when God has called you to play offense.


The enemy wants you to play defense in times when you're called to take ground. Contend for land. Fight for what God has already called yours.


The enemy wants you focused on what the opposition is doing at a time when you're called to be on the front lines taking close orders from God.


There are people playing defense in these situations, resting on their swords, pretending to be in battle, making a lot of noise but in safe directions, out of fear and insecurity.


The way it was shown to me was like the atmosphere in 1 Samuel 17. The Israelite army and King Saul were shaking over Goliath when little sheep-poop scented David strolled onto the scene.


God is goign to bring Davids into these Valleys of Elah. When He does, the temptation will be to accuse them of pride or being out of order like David's oldest brother did.


The message God gave me is called Reinforcements.


You prayed for help. It's coming. Don't be alarmed when it doesn't look (or smell) like what you think it should.


love, Bunmi

How Staying Focused Keeps You Afloat

In the last post I wrote about how in the story of Nehemiah, two men called Sanballat and Tobiah were instantly disturbed by Nehemiah's plan to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 

 

Then they laughed and accused Nehemiah of doing wrong. Nehemiah didn't fight them or go on a tirade defending himself. His answer to his newly formed panel of agitators was to state his unmoving faith in God. Even as they spread falsehoods against Nehemiah, he prevailed. How? He kept his eyes on the One who had given him his project. Focus will keep you on track and even in joy as you work. Keep reading.

Rejecting Every False Prophecy/Curse & Choosing God's Vision

When Sanballat and his buddies realized he could not attack Nehemiah's body, they tried to attack his mind with accusations. When they realized the attacks on the mind did not work, they tried to attack his spirit by having him come into physical agreement with false prophecy of imminent attack and death ("they will come and kill you").

​

What has been falsely prophesied over your work? That it's not a good time to start? That the economy isn't good enough? That no one will like your work? That it will fail? That you're not the one to do it? The enemy cannot physically make you stop but he will try to discourage and discredit you. Come out of agreement with any false prophetic word and come into agreement God's sight for your project. Keep reading.
