He Said,” It is finished”, not that He is finished

Though they might take Isaac’s well that he spent all that effort digging but it did not mean he was finished it just meant he had proven he was fruitful and now he had to show he could multiply.

On the cross as he lay there dying he declared it is finished but it did not mean he was finished it just meant he was moving to another level. The seed may die in the ground but soon it will break through the soil to reveal its glory in a tree of life. Though a generation may perish in a desert it does not mean the nation is doomed, it just meant they had multiplied enough to find dominion for the next generation, Jericho was going to go down. It is finished does not mean you are done it just means that for this level you have done what you could it is time for another level of greater glory.

When they took away his well of water, it was not time for him to despair but rather it was time to prove that he could multiply. Sometimes the place you are in might get too hot or cold so that you move to another place to create greater blessings and find greater favor. Multiplication cannot happen until one fruit gives itself up to form the seed for the next generation of fruits. From one seed a nation can be born, so Abraham though today you look like fool tomorrow they will call you father of nations.

Your friends might banish you from their social circles, but if you stick to what you know then yes it is finished that you are no longer with them but you are certainly not finished because sooner than later you will have a bush experience, Moses. Sooner than later you will rise and not only will you have friends in a nation but God shall be your friend that you have conversation with. The stone they reject will always become the foundation stone. Before his death he only had twelve disciples but on his resurrection he had millions of disciples. For a moment they look at you and say you are finished but God has a plan. They might say you don’t have a plan but suddenly you will rise and a giant you will slay. Your brothers and sisters might have left you in the wilderness to tend to sheep but if you hold on to what you believe they will soon come to serve you. Left to die they will see you strong and healthy on the throne, Joseph.

It is finished means it is over by their standards but by God’s standard it is the beginning of something new, it is the multiplication of a fruit that everyone despised. Don’t be afraid to stand up for what you believe, let them fight you for what you believe in but remember this, every night has a morning, in the end of it all, truth will always outlast the lies. Jesus on the cross declared it is finished, but he was not finished, he was just implementing the next level of His plan. Likewise whether they took your business, destroyed your work, laughed at you, embarrassed you or disliked you, carry on with what you do best, resurrect and soon they will know that it was finished but you were not finished.

The Fight Code

When stuck in a situation that requires you to fight, then use whatever it is that you have. What you have before you acquire anything else are words, people, and time. Your best weapon in life could be either of these three. You might wait for capital, miracles, saviors which may never come but the best you should do is use what you have. Don’t look to others or to anything else but always make sure your greatest weapon is the one that no one can take away from you, which is yourself.

Just as any deck of cards has a joker so must you carry one. A secret weapon which you never advertise to anyone, it might not win you the war but when the time comes it must gain you ground or cause enough damage for you to be respected. There are many battles in life but always choose your weapons with care.

Just as the chess board has a queen piece always have an unexpected action. In life people will always work with assumptions, they will look at you and measure you according to what they see, but always be ready to do the unexpected. When the battle thinks it has you beaten a surprise move might bring doubt to the enemy and win you the war.

Whenever you fight, fight in twos. Don’t carry a sword only but carry a dagger, don’t carry a cross bow only but bring a sword, whatever it is you bring to the table always make sure you have a backup plan, a way out, another ticket reference, another line for communication, more than one bank account, more than one car, because you never know what the times will bring and what the fight will bring to you. Always remember a marriage takes two and not one.

When you fight look at the prize you are fighting for, if you can’t see it then walk away from the battle until you can see it. A battle entered without a vision is like warrior fighting in the dark with no weapon, eventually that warrior will die. If you don’t know what you are fighting then don’t fight, if you can’t measure what you are fighting for then don’t step on to the battle field, if you can’t have what you are fighting for after you win the battle then don’t bother to fight for it. If your faith cannot see the substance then it is not faith, then your belief is doomed.

Every fight has its beginning and end if you don’t know where the beginning is or where the end is then it’s not a fight it’s a massacre, you will be massacred. Most massacres victims cannot see where the fight came from and why it came; they will die and never know when it will end. Stand up for what you believe in but if you don’t know where it starts or ends then don’t bother. Never believe in a religion whose beginning you don’t understand or whose end has no prize for you.
