A WORD FOR YOU. (Insights For Life) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. Genesis 32:24 KJV JACOB WAS LEFT ALONE! The Eagle, known as the king of the sky have have learnt and practiced the power of Seclusion. At about 40 years old, its body begins to fail. Its talons grow long and flexible, unable to grip prey. Its beak becomes bent and heavy, pressing against its chest. Its old, thick feathers become too heavy for flight, making it hard to soar. To survive, the Eagle 🦅 enters a period of seclusion. She shut off or keep apart from company, society, etc.; withdraws from everything into solitude for 150 days (about five months). After this period, it enjoys renewal, growth and transformation and then lives another 30–40 years. Sometimes you must withdraw from noise, people, things and all forms of distractions before you can have an encounter with destiny. GROWTH REQUIRES ISOLATION. TRANSFORMATION IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT SECLUSION. Jacob had an encounter with God when he was left alone. The world we live in is a noisy place. Many things like the phone in your hand, which was designed to enhance our lives, has become a distraction. There are Churches that holds services or activities everyday of the week - instead of improving you, they distract you. UNTIL YOU CREATE ROOM FOR YOUR SELF ALONE - IN SECLUSION, ISOLATION AND SOLITUDE, YOU ARE NOT READY FOR GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION. Get out of the crowd, distraction and a little out of sight and experience an encounter with destiny.

A WORD FOR YOU. (Insights For Life) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. Genesis 32:24 KJV JACOB WAS LEFT ALONE - part 2. Let me share a particular story about BILL GATES. Bill Gates, the Founder of Microsoft (stepped down as CEO in 2000), has and practice what is called "Think Weeks" program. It is a legendary "twice-yearly ritual", where he "ISOLATES" himself in a remote cabin to DISCONNECT for seven days. He retreats to a secluded, two-story clapboard cabin in a cedar forest in the Pacific Northwest, with a view of the Olympic Mountains—an intentionally DISTRACTION-FREE ENVIRONMENT. During this "Think Weeks", he receives/accepts No visitors, no phone, no internet, and no TV. The only human contact is a caretaker who drops off two simple meals a day. - He spends up to 18 hours a day reading and annotating technical papers and employee memos . His record is 112 papers in a single week! He takes his Meals at the kitchen table while still reading. - These "weeks" led to major pivots for Microsoft, including the Internet Explorer strategy in 1995 and concepts that became the Tablet PC and online gaming. He noted that this intense, distraction-free focus was crucial to his success. This practice was a key strategic tool during his time at Microsoft. Every great man has a secret - an open secret. One of their secret is the ability to isolate, seclude, withdraw themselves into solitude. Have you noticed that great people have few circle of friends. The Eagle spends 150days in isolation, Bill Gates spends 7days twice a year. DESTINY IS WAITING FOR YOU, NOT IN THE OPEN PLACE - BUT IN THE SECRET PLACE. Destinies are birthed in wilderness and in the solitary place. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them... Isaiah 35:1 KJV.

A WORD FOR YOU. (Insights For Life) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. Genesis 32:24 KJV JACOB WAS LEFT ALONE - part 3. Today, we focus on Jesus Christ. One of the most important and powerful activities in Jesus's ministry is his constant withdrawal from everything to be alone. This scripture confirms it: But Jesus "OFTEN" withdrew to lonely "PLACES" and prayed. Luke 5:16 NIV. Mark the word "often" - "always". And in the morning, ...he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. Mark 1:35 KJV Jesus modeled solitude as a core part of his life and ministry. It was a regular habit. It was a constant everytime routine. Jesus had just 12 disciples, yet at certain times, they were a crowd to him so he takes just 3 of them and at other times, he withdraws alone to a quiet place. Jesus had unlimited access to strength, Grace and power, yet he wouldn't spend it all with the people - HE KEPT A TIME FOR HIMSELF - ALONE, OFTEN. Greatness is birthed in secret. Success is shaped in the secret. Growth first happen in darkness before it manifest to light. Those who play and win are not those in the crowd, they are those whose circle are few - the eleven. The crowd pay the bills, the few win the crown. The lion is the king of the jungle but the tortoise outlive him. You know why? Because the tortoise have learnt to always withdraw into his shell. Do you want to fulfill destiny? Then avoid the crowd. Create a withdrawal system. Appear for a while but learn to withdraw and be alone. Learn to retreat. Practice isolation. Put off everything, keep off noise, sound, pictures and videos so you can be alone. Listen, ALL DARKNESS IS NOT NEGATIVE, SOMETIMES, IT IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF GREATNESS. Jacob was left alone, Jesus withdrew himself - both were deliberate and intentional. Don't wait until life calls you apart. Withdraw so you can draw. There are certain friends, companies, association you must deliberately withdraw from for you to see the next phase of your life. It is time to stand aside and withdraw your self.

A WORD FOR YOU. (Insights For Life) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. Genesis 32:24 KJV SEPARATED FOR GOOD WORK. Separation is not an act of idleness. It is not a means to become slothful or inactive. It is rather an opportunity to be more engaging. It is an opportunity to tactful. There is always a greater purpose for every withdrawal. Destiny is established on intentional and purposeful engagement. Take a look at scripture: JACOB'S EXAMPLE: And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him. Jacob separated for warfare. He knows he can't win with Esau until he wins in the spiritual so he stayed back alone, to address this matter spiritually first. THERE ARE BATTLES YOU CAN'T WIN IN THE CHURCH - VICTORY IS ONLY ACHIEVED IN THE SECRET PLACE. JESUS'S EXAMPLE: And he withdrew himself...and prayed. Luke 5:16. Jesus always withdraw to commune with divinity. Every major event in the ministry of Jesus that culminates in signs and wonders is always preceded he withdrawing himself to pray. He withdraws always to draw virtue always no wonder miracles accompanied his ministry always. MOSES'S EXAMPLE: Moses Ascended Mount Sinai alone for 40 days to receive the Law Exo 24:18, and spent years in isolation in Midian before leading Israel. APOSTLE PAUL'S EXAMPLE: After his conversion, he spent three years in Arabia, away from the church, for reflection and preparation Gal 1:17-18. THE EAGLES/BILL GATES EXAMPLE: The Eagle withdraws to renew, revive and regrow. While Bill Gates withdraw to meditate and re-evaluate. What you do in isolation is what defines what you draw from it. The secret to life, success, progress and greatness is the capacity to self-withdraw for engagement with destiny. ARE YOU READY?

A WORD FOR YOU. (Insights For Life) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. Genesis 32:24 KJV TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY! Life is full of challenges. Life is full of uncertainties. My grandfather (Bishop David Oyedepo) said: to be challenged is scriptural but to be defeated is unscriptural. Challenges are real, our victory is more real. Challenges are gateway to our liftings in life. If there are no test and trials, how would you qualify for promotion? Your spiritual position, religious affiliation or association does not and will not exempt you from challenges in life. What defines your victory over those challenges is your ability to TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. You must be ready to take your life in your hands and fight. This is possible via personal approach in separation. Many are tired of their situation but are unwilling to seek God's face personally. They want a quick fix. They want an anointed man, a prophet to save them. BUT EVERYONE HAS EQUAL AND ACCESS TO GOD. The power and results generated during isolation and separation is highly potent and productive. Jacob, had an encounter with God that got him victory over Esau during separation. Moses had an encounter with God alone, that delivered the ten commandments. My victory over 2yrs barrenness came when I separated myself, alone at the redemption camp. Your challenge is not unique, your foundational problem is not peculiar, your inability to separate yourself, alone is what makes it peculiar. LEAVE EVERYTHING, ABANDON EVERYTHING AND SEPARATE YOUR SELF ALONE FOR AN ENCOUNTER WITH GOD FOR YOUR CHANGE OF DESTINY. You have explained to every prophet, it's time to talk to God directly. Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. Proverbs 18:1 KJV.

A WORD FOR YOU. (Insights For Life) Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you , even with a sore destruction. Micah 2:10 KJV THIS IS NOT YOUR REST! Life is progressive. God is progressive. Everything plan, project or vision from God is designed to continue - progressively. In God's agenda, a stop in only for rest not an end. In Genesis chapter two, God finished "His work" but other works continued. Jesus finished his work on earth but handed over works to the Apostles. In one of his teachings, Jesus said: my father worketh, hitherto I work. Even right now he is still working for us from the right hand of the father. Today, many believers have settled down to rest, they have become complacent. They have reached a certain point and achieved certain goals in there lives and they are satisfied. They have become comfortable. But God is saying to you, THIS IS NOT YOUR REST. Where you are now, is good enough, it's an achievement, you have tried, you have done your bits and possibly your best. God is saying: arise and depart, for this is not your rest. Take a look at what God told Joshua: ...Lord said unto him(Joshua), Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. Joshua 13:1 KJV. As good and lofty as where you are right, it is not a your place of rest. And maybe you are down, and below, I want to tell you, that is not God ordained place for you. It is not your end, that is not your bustop. You might have given up trying, and you think you can't go further, don't. There's something bigger, sweeter, ahead of you, don't stop there - THIS IS NOT YOUR REST. Strength to continue, receive in Jesus precious name. This week is your week of multiple testimonies.

A WORD FOR YOU. (Insights For Life) Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them. Deuteronomy 1:8 KJV GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND! The distance between where you are and where you are destined for is a STEP. Just one step is what makes the whole difference. God has already declared your destination you are the one to confirm it with your decision. God's plan and desire for you has been clearly stated but you have a part to play to fulfill it - GO IN. Some years ago, there were many motivational speakers and preachers always saying: "it's a dreamer's world", "dream big" and many similar statements. But when you look deeply, you discover that the world is now full of dreamers but no real change. Why? It's because this world is no longer for dreamers, it is now for takers. Dreamers are those who have goals, visions, plans. While takers, are those who pursue their dreams. They are those who get to work on their goals. In our reference scripture, the Lord has set the goal, the vision, the blessing (land) before you, but to possess it, you must ARISE, you must GO IN. You must Make the move; take the step, get to work, do what it takes - Do it now. Have you proposed? Have you collected the list? Have you done site inspection? Have you checked the product and prices? Have you done consultation? Do you have a sample? Have you done feasibility studies? Have you bought the form, talked to the manager, do you know where to get it? Listen, Someone else is after what you desire. STOP DREAMING, START TAKING, ENOUGH OF YOUR PLANNING - GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND. Receive grace to make the right move and take up opportunity today.

A WORD FOR YOU. (Insights For Life) And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV YOU HAVE RECEIVED GRACE! Prt2 What is Grace? Grace is more than just unmerited favour. Grace is divine enabling. Grace is divine help. What you can't accomplish, perform or become on your own, grace steps in to enable and help you. Power helps you perform, while Grace helps you become. But as many as received him, to them gave he power (grace) to become the sons of God,. John 1:12. So when we receive Christ, we are impacted with grace to become and perform what we can't ordinarily. As a child of God, you have received grace already. You carry grace - it's on you. There's grace on you to fulfill that assignment, there's grace on you to execute that task. That passion, that drive, that nudging or inspiration comes with grace. YOU won't know what you can do until you start. You have also received grace to face that challenge and overcome it. Understand this two things: - Grace is in levels. Grace can grow. And we are not all of the same grace level. But we all receive the same level of grace at salvation. - Grace is made manifest with work. It takes work to activate grace. What God does not call you to do, He will not engrace you for. Grace can be dormant or inactive. A man can be graced without knowing. Grace is primarily released to achieve a purpose or carry out an assignment. Paul said: "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me." (ESV). 1Cor.15:10. Paul directly credits God's grace for his identity and labor as an apostle. So Grace is for work, it is for a purpose. However, for grace to speak expressly, you must: 1. Understand what you are graced for. There are certain assignment, Ministry, battles or challenges you are not graced for. If you dabble into it or confront it, you will be crushed. Many Pastors have died because of family liberation because they were not graced to pull down the ancient altars. There are certain fights, battles, enemies you walk away from - you don't challenge them at that time. It is wisdom not foolishness. From today, may the grace on your life begin to speak expressly in Jesus precious name.

A WORD FOR YOU. (Insights For Life) And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? Genesis 3:9 KJV ADAM, WHERE ARE YOU? Adam and Eve lived in a garden called Eden. It was small but amazing place. They were the only two persons in the garden - so it wasn't a crowded garden but a quiet one. The third person (God) was a visitor, He only shows up occasionally. But this time, He (God), showed up, and he began to ask: ADAM, WHERE ARE YOU? Think about it. In the same uncrowded garden with just two persons, yet, the all-knowing God asked, where are you? What does this mean? There are so many today who are still in church (Garden) but are no longer InTouch. They still have the gifts (blessings just like in the garden) but are not in-tune, in-line and in alignment with the giver (God). Many by experience, can still tell when He (God) will or does visits but are no longer interested in relating or communicating with Him. Many still understand the language (just as Adam still heard God in the garden); the methods, traditions, composures, but in the sight of God, THEY ARE NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. They are: - in the Church but have lost his presence. - in the kingdom but have lost His power (I was afraid when I heard your voice). - in leadership but they have been stripped(naked) without glory. When God did show up this time in the garden, He saw a man (Adam and Eve), but He didn't see his endowments, He didn't see Himself in them - remember they were his image. So He asked: Adam, where are you? God is asking you today, where are you? Nnamdi, Daniel, Shola, Funmi, Samson, James, John and the rest of you, WHERE ARE YOU? Only you can can answer this question. IT IS TIME TO RETURN, REPENT AND BE RESTORED. May God give you the grace to find your way back before you are completely lost. This is your week of amazing testimonies in Jesus precious name.

A WORD FOR YOU. (Insights For Life) And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? Genesis 3:9 KJV ADAM, WHERE ARE YOU? What more could this mean? As humans, we are shortsighted, narrow-minded and as a result, we see, think and assume what is not. Looking at this question above, it is evident that scripture is not just referring to God's presence, it is also REFERRING TO GOD'S PLAN. IT IS REFERRING TO GOD'S PURPOSE. So putting it in perspective, it's means: where are you in my plans? Where are you as regards my purpose for you? WHERE ARE YOU? God always has a plan - for you. God always has a purpose for your life. But the challenge is, are you in alignment with God's plan and purpose for you? Many are in agreement with God, but they are not in alignment with Him. AGREEMENT IS CONSENT, ALIGNMENT IS CONTEXT. Some are busy doing good work but not God's work. Many are doing God's work but not in God's way. In fulfilling divine destiny, you need proper alignment. GOD IS TOO BIG TO FIT INTO YOUR PLANS. You cannot plan and expect God to execute the plan. God can only bless, sustain and protect his plans and purposes. In marriage, relationship, in business, career, in ministry and in life generally, WHERE ARE YOU IN GOD'S PLAN AND PURPOSE? When a man is in alignment with God, he or she is in the centre of God's plan. He or she works, not just for God but with God. A man in alignment with God surrenders his will for God's will. God couldn't continue with Adam and Eve because they were no longer in alignment with His plans for them. The reason you failed in marriage, business and ministry could be because it wasn't God's plan from the onset. It's time to realign and align with God. Get back to him today.
