AS YOUR DAYS ARE, SO SHALL YOUR STRENGTH BE (PART 3)

It is important that you read the additional Bible reading for today.  You are only as strong as what you know. The word of God says that those who know their God shall be strong and shall do exploits (Daniel 11:32b). Those who have an understanding of their times and seasons will definitely rule their world, their situations and circumstances! The sons of Issachar were unique people. God had given them unique understanding of the content of times and seasons. They were like spiritual weathermen.  They had uncommon prophetic insights of what God was planning to do per time; they aligned with it and got incredible, supernatural results. These men knew "the things that make for peace" in their day. They knew what Israel ought to do. If they lived today, they will tell you what stocks and shares to buy, they will tell you when to sell, they will tell you what business to invest in, they will tell you what airline to fly and the one to avoid, they will tell you what God was set to do in every block of time.  Today, because of the incredible gift of the indwelling Spirit of God we have access to the mind of God per time. We are a prophetic people. You are a prophetic person!  God is always prompting His people to walk in prophetic accuracy. God desires that NOTHING should take you by surprise. He desires that you SHOULD ALWAYS KNOW what to do in your business, career, family life etc. Many years ago by the express leading of the Holy Spirit a servant of God went and bought a particular land, shortly afterwards crude oil and gas was discovered in that land. That servant of God like you would expect has become a very wealthy man. You are only as strong as what you know! Like we said yesterday, there are no "mountains" anywhere. What you don't know about will always be a mountain to you. Determine today by the help of the Holy Spirit and the word of God to become acquainted with your times and seasons.  Be part of a church that are in alignment with the heart of God per time and season. Your pastor should know the mind of God for every season. Become part of an Issachar company! Determine to know what makes for your peace in the month of August! Shalom!

Question and Reflection of the Day: Are you strategically aligned with what God is doing in this hour? Do you even have a clue to what the Spirit is saying to you TODAY?

Today's Prayer: Father help me to be become sensitive to your leadings and instructions per time. Make me as strong as my day.
