FOXES THAT SPOIL
I believe we are in a season where we are facing some giants that challenge our authority and dominion. Too many times we allow the little things in our lives to spoil the miracles that God intended for us to have, especially in our marriages and general relationships!
In Matthew 8:20 we read that Foxes have holes and birds have nests and I asked a simple question…Why?
This opened a whole new perspective on this scripture because in the next phrase it states that the Son of Man has NO PLACE! We accommodate:
a) Foxes that create holes in our lives and marriage;
b) Birds that fly in and nest, using up space and clotting our lives.
We hardly accommodate the Son of Man! We make room for chaos and the worries and concerns we are so boldly told NOT to allow.
Why is it so easy to make room for everything else but when it comes to the things of God we are either too tired, too poor or something!
In Judges 15:4 Samson caught foxes and tied them tail to tail. Before we get that drastic we have to do a few things first!
We need to firstly Discern the foxes (those little things that cause havoc).
After that we need to tie it down (don’t allow it anymore room in your life). We must come to the point of taking stock of our relationships and decide to address what’s not beneficial or from God. We are making room for too many squatters in our relationships. Fear is squatting illegally. Doubt and unbelief is squatting illegally. Distrust and lies are illegal vagrants making room where they are not allowed to!
If we continue to allow them access and they become truly on fire, they set whole harvest fields alight and burns it to nothing! The harvest of miracles in your life is burnt to nothingness and emptiness.
Song of Solomon 2:15 says it’s the foxes that spoil the vineyards of marriage!
Protect your marriage; it’s the most precious relationship you’ve got. It reflects the relationship between God and the Church. No more messing around with the sacred trust of our spouses Enough is enough! Stop your extramarital affair….it may seem sweet today but tomorrow the bitter aftertaste of deceit and lies is the only remaining savor we taste!
Make a bold declaration and tell your spouse: I am prepared to deal with the foxes in our marriage! Confront those foxes and deal with them! No more room in my life!

From The Prophet's Desk
CONSTANT CHANGE
There are many things in our lives that are constant but even more that demand change!
Change is also a constant progression from one thing to another or one level to another. Most of the time it's people that had true encounters with God that changed:
a) Abram into Abraham (Father of many nations) in Genesis 17:5
b) Sarai into Sarah (Princess) in Genesis 17:15
c) Jacob (Supplanter) into Israel (Contender with God) in Genesis
32:28
d) Ben-oni (Son of my sorrow) into Benjamin (Son of my Right hand) in
Genesis 35:18
e) Simon (Shaking) into Peter (Rock) in John 1:42
The moment that their names changed:
a) Their nature's changed;
b) Their destinies changed;
c) Their authority with God changed;
d) What they weren't, they became!
ISAIAH 62:2-3 declares that God is about to change some things in our lives.
I believe it's time for this ministry and everybody in the body of Christ to step up to the challenge; To expect hat the nations shall open up and see what God can do; To be called by a new name so we can display the glory and honor of God !
We all are familiar with ROMANS 12:2 that say we must be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Total change takes place by the entire renewal of your mind and not just some of its thoughts! Change is setting new ideals and new attitudes into motion ! Change unlocks new possibilities and destinies ! Change is the proof itself or the testimony that testifies that something changed !
When Jesus performed the miracle in Cana of Galilee at the wedding, the first manifestation of the miraculous was about change! Nobody got healed, nobody was raised from the dead. I would think the first miracle would be an opening statement that would set the tone for future miracles ! It's amazing to see that Jesus opened His miracle innings with a statement concerning change when HE turned water into wine !
I believe it was a statement where the best was kept back until now ! Thank you for the water, but I believe we are in the changing into wine process! We may have started out as water but we are about to change into wine !
Having said all of the above, I have an announcement to make. We have changed our "NAME"
Yes, you heard right. We were Miracle Revival Centre but I believe that we are entering a new era where we have to transcend into the next phase or this ministry! We await the powerful decrees of people over this ministry, every time they call out our new name !
"Transforming Your World Ministries" It is time to be named by a new name and because 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51 lays so dear to my heart, I have adopted it as a decree from God that ALL SHALL BE CHANGED or TRANSFORMED. It's also a summary of the First Prophetic Word I ever received !
We shall ALL be changed Practically, Purposefully and Prophetically !
I pray that we all are ready for God to change things in our lives ! I'm just bold enough to move out and take God at His Word on a practical level. Step out in Faith and embrace change!
