Power to Move Forward

“And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho “{Num 22:1-2}

This scripture is for you and you need to personalize it; to set forward.

You need to connect to this message and let your spirit mind agree to set forward

This is 2016; there is a need to for you to achieve more; more than you have in the past. You need a motion to set you forward.

v You need to decide and makeup your mind that you are setting forward and nothing is stopping you.

"And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel." {Num 22:2-3}

v The moment you decide to move forward; even the devil will begin to tremble.

v The devil knows the implication of this decision; to wage war against him, because the devil does not want anyone to move forward. The agenda of the devil is stagnation.

v God’s desire is that; it is well with you and the devil is opposite; to be ill.

v God’s desire is for you to move forward and the devil is the opposite; retrogression.

v The man that is moving forward is the only one that is attaining divine goals.

v In life man was not created to stand still; to be motionless; Man was designed by God to move forward.

v What the devil wants for you is opposite of what God wants from you.

v If you are seeing that you are moving back in life; then you are actually agreeing with the devil.

I Decree: As From Today, Your Life Shall Move Forward in the name of Jesus.

When a Man Decides To Move Forward;

1.   The Enemy takes Note of it.

ü Whether you like it or not; every man has an Enemy.

ü To be a child of God means to defy the devil and declare to the devil that you cease to obey the devil and will obey God.

2.   The devil gets angry.

 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion . . ." {1 Pet 5:8}

I Decree: Your Forward Motion shall distress your enemies in the name of Jesus.

When Moab was afraid; he went to look for prophets that could speak against to children of Israel.

I Decree: All the negative words against you shall backfire in the name of Jesus.

"And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams." {Num 23:1}

The battle has been taken to another arena; they hired a priest; and they built altars against the children of Israel.

When your enemies are building several altars; you have not even build just one altar.

As your enemies build altars to harm you; you also need to build an altar to counter these altars.

What is an Altar?

ü An Altar is place where there is transaction between spiritual entities and the physical world.

ü An Altar is a thick way between heaven and earth.

ü An Altar is a place where series of transaction takes place.

ü An Altar is a place where there is exchange between the spiritual realm and the physical world.

Why did they use 7 altars and not one?

·      They know the children of God usually call upon God from an altar;

·      The enemy usually put in more effort in their diabolic activities to outweigh people’s effort in the place of prayers.

I Decree: Your Effort in the place of prayers shall be amplified in the name of Jesus.

The enemy knows: For a transaction to be effective and potent, there need to be sacrifice on the altar

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."{Rom 12:1}.

You need to be Sure that your life is a Sacrifice on the Altar of the Lord

How To Poses Power to Move Forwardè Put Your Life on the Altar

The Children of Darkness are wiser; they use scriptural operation to device their actions.

1.   They put blood sacrifice on the altar.

". . . Without shedding of blood is no remission." {Heb 9:22}

You have gotten an ultimate sacrifice; Jesus blood was shed for our sake.

1.   They use the multiplying effect by using 7 altars, 7 altars.

"One chases a thousand, and two put ten thousand . . .”

v Instead of one animal they put 10 animals.

v There are powers; there are enemies; there are demons who have devised in their own wisdom; that whatever you do, they will know.

If such enemies exist, how will you step forward and achieve your vision?

"And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering" {Numbers 23:3}

o  How many of us stay by our burnt offerings?

o  How many of us stand by our Sacrifice?

What does it mean to stand by Your Sacrifice?

1.   It means to tell your God that you are not going diabolical or seeking the help of an evil agent.

2.   It means not to compromise your God, regardless of anything.

3.   It means to wait on your God until your solution comes.

God used to answer Balak but in this situation God refuse to accept the offering of Balak;

Why is it impossible to curse the children of God?

"God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him and the shout of a king is among them. “{Num 23:19}

This is Secret of stepping forward; secret of moving forward; to attain Greatness; The Secret of “Not Beheld Iniquity”

·      When God takes a look at your life; what does He see;

·      If He finds Sin, He permits the devil and its cohorts to deal with you.

·      To activate the power of sacrifice upon the altar of your life; you need to be sure that your life is in line with God.

·      If God analyzes your life; does he see righteousness or perversion?

Those who want to move forward must be ready to face battles.

How to Possess Power to Move Forward.

1.   You must have a living altar for the lord.

ü Your altar must not be dead;

ü Your altar must not be dirty

ü Your altar must not be without a sacrifice.

Present your bodies as a living ALTAR

2.   You must have a living Sacrifice.

ü The sacrifice is your body

3.   Denial “Self” in your life.

You must not give room to sin in your life;

It is sin that can give the devil access to attack a man’s life.

"If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the Lord; to do either good or bad of mine own mind. . . ."{Num 24:13-17}

If you choose to stay with your God;

Ø Not only that God will prevent your enemy from overpowering you; God will also ensure that in the cause of your forward motion, you will march your enemies down.

Ø Not only that God will ensure that your enemy can not catch up with you; God will also ensure that as you move forward, you will be empowered to smite your enemies.
