  • Managing your Soul

    Today's teaching will equip us with insight and keys on how we can manage our soul well. 
    In order to have dominion over our entire being, we must learn to manage our soul effectively. Our body is designed to function in the visible realm through the senses. Although the body is capable of making choices, it is the soul that steers the body, influencing its actions and decisions, essentially making the body an extension of your soul and mind.
    When you engage in the act of sinning, your soul and mind have contemplated it multiple times before your body acts on it. Your body merely follows the lead of your soul. This mental processing happens swiftly, and we rarely fully grasp its complexity.

    A poorly managed soul lacks prioritization and is perpetually short on time. Conversely, a well-managed, developed soul can effectively accomplish tasks because this war is managed, as there is a silence and stillness to your soul.
    It is your spirit that rules over your soul. Your soul is a super conductor to your spirit, it is tuned to detect even subtle shifts within it. However, your soul accumulates an excess of information, making it challenging when the spirit communicates. It's not just about hearing God's voice, but how you interpret the information. Accurate interpretation hinges on effective soul management. While God speaks in the language of spirit, your soul uses human languages, so when God's spirit communicates, it passes through the language your soul can comprehend. A well-managed and renewed soul is receptive to direct communication with the spirit, much like how God spoke to Moses face to face. 
    Your soul was designed to have fellowship with the spirit. The more your soul yields to the spirit, the greater dominion it has over the flesh and the more efficiently it can lead your body.  
     Your soul encompasses all your creative abilities, decision-making skills, and the capacity to process and interpret information. It relies on imagination and cognitive power to comprehend the greatness of the Spirit that’s communicating with you. Your soul has the assignment to decode the divine in partnership with the Spirit. While God dwells in your spirit, the soul serves as the point of contact. How you manage your soul reflects how you manage your life. What you permit in your physical surroundings mirrors what you've allowed into your soul. If you're at ease with chaos around you, it's likely because you've grown accustomed to managing chaos within your soul.
    The world encourages you to acknowledge and adapt to your circumstances. God, on the other hand, desires to reveal His Spirit to your soul. When your soul aligns with His superior Spirit, it acquires the qualities of that higher spirit, making what was once difficult now effortless through this supernatural grace. God's plan is not just to provide a coping mechanism for you but to transform your soul to resemble His.


    Keys to manage your soul better :
     
    1. Manage your environment:  Your soul relies on your physical body to influence the natural world. Take charge of your surroundings by using your body intentionally. If you lack dominion in a particular environment, remove yourself from it. Ensure your environment reflects a prophetic vision of the future, let it resemble heaven on earth.
    2. Manage your conversations:  Exercise wisdom and intentionality in your conversations, as words possess the ability to shape your soul. Your soul reflects the words you both speak and hear. 
    3. Soul submission: Consider who holds authority over your soul, for the one you submit to, shapes your soul. Your soul is molded by the voice it adheres to, so choose that voice wisely through prayer. In Christ, you can be both unique and united with others.
    4. Feeding your soul: Your soul is a reflection of how you are consuming the Word of God. The word of God is a primary way to manage your soul, it is shaped depending on how you consume, retain and interpret the Word.

  • Body, Soul and Spirit

    The book of 1 Thessalonians and Hebrews gives us an insight about how God created us, and that we are a triune being consisting of the body, soul and the spirit. 

     

    Our body, soul and spirit were each created with a unique design and to fulfil different purposes. Each of them distinct, yet combined to function as one being.

     

    The body is the physical host to the soul and the spirit; entities that cannot exist outside the body. The body is the legal entity for them to operate in the earthly realm.

     

    The soul is the seat of your mind, emotions, the invisible being. It has its own systems and is the carrier of your conscious and the unconscious mind. Every decision you make, is made in your soul. The way your spirit reaches your body is through your soul. The soul is your personality. 

     

    The spirit is the part of you that was designed to host God, granting access to the Spirit realm and the life of God. It is the spirit that becomes one with God. Everything that God achieves in you, initiates in the spirit and flows into your soul and body. The spirit has senses and everything pertaining to God is birthed in the spirit.

     

    All these three entities are intelligent and unique systems by themselves, yet with all their complexities, designed to function in the same world. In the original design, each member of the triune being was meant to last forever. But when Adam sinned, there were repercussions and sin introduced abnormality and dysfunction.

     

    The Body became vulnerable; decay, degradation and death was introduced. In the soul, a war was initiated and there arose an unending battle between the inferior fallen self and the superior image of God. At sin, the spirit lost access to the presence and mind of God shutting all of information. Hence, inspiration had to come from the outside to the inside, as it was no longer being formed within.

     

    With every passing generation, the soul lacked resistance and they fell further from the grace and glory of God.

     

    Child of God, you were created by God, for God. Every part of you was given so it can experience God. Your mind was created in such a powerful manner because its primary function was to host and fellowship with the Almighty God! The spirit that is infinite, can probe the Spirit of the infinite God.


    After the fall, when people lost access to the Spirit of God, their soul-which had an appetite for many desires and needs. Thus, Jesus had to come in a physical body, with a soul and spirit, to rescue mankind. 

     

    It matters which parts of you were born again at salvation. In the physical body, nothing seems different from the outside. In the soul, there is a fire ignited, which burns for a while, but at the first sight of temptation an internal war begins. So it's the spirit that is truly born again and renewed.

     

    At salvation, the whole package gets deposited into your spirit. So now you must work out what is inside and allow the body and soul to be reconditioned. This is what it means in the scripture where apostle Paul talks about “working out your salvation”.

     

    The body needs to be offered as a living sacrifice and the mind should be renewed with the help of the Spirit. Our soul is malleable and a renewed spirit will provide divine assistance. Renew yourself every day, until your body, soul and spirit are transformed like that of God!

  • The God DNA

    While we were still condemned, sinners, and alienated from God, in His mercy, God sent His Son to redeem us from our wretched condition and elevate us to a glorious position. Today, Prophet Hari is reintroducing us to our inherent God-ordained design. 

    In 2 Peter 1:4, we read about God’s promises that enable us to partake in His divine nature. God has provided the means for us to fulfill and accomplish all that we are called to do.

     Salvation means more than just being redeemed from something; it means being redeemed for a greater purpose. The goal is not only about making it to heaven; the invitation is to partake in the very nature of God through privilege and election. You are designed to understand God and to be transformed like Him here on earth.
    Desire and design are distinctly different. Having a desire isn't enough if it doesn't align with your inherent design. Desires can be deceptive, leading people to operate outside of God's intended design, as seen in Romans 1:21. Desire is not proof of design. As a child of God, don't let desire lead you; rather, study God's design, which supersedes desire. God has equipped us with the design to partake in His divine nature through His promises. A word or promise is all that's needed, as we already possess the raw material. When God created Adam and Eve, He endowed within them the ability to function in a divine nature. When you receive salvation, God simply activates the system He has already built within you. You were created by God, for God! When God created man, He formed a triune being: body, soul, and spirit, with the soul serving as a powerful intermediary between the body and spirit.
    Your rise or fall hinges on how you manage your soul. While both the flesh and spirit have their own designs and desires, the soul can align with either. Its direction is determined by your stewardship. If the flesh prevails, you are in control, but if the spirit dominates, it's God who reigns.Our likeness to God qualifies us for His divine nature; it is the God-DNA that fosters our fellowship with Him. When Jesus called the disciples to follow, He spoke to a part of their DNA that enabled them to respond and follow Him.  Functioning in the divine nature requires fellowship with God. The serpent disrupted Adam and Eve's original design, causing them to be deprived of fellowship with God that nurtures the spirit. In the absence of this fellowship, the spirit weakens, leading to uncontrolled flesh and soul. However, when the spirit is thriving, it can govern the soul, providing it with structure and direction. As Christians, our central focus is friendship with God. When the spirit is connected to God, it feeds both the body and the soul.
    Our body, soul, and spirit were made for God! Align and train your triune being to be completely yielded to God!

  • Custodians of Glory

    Possessing a dimension of grace is a cherished privilege enjoyed by a man of God, often a father. In this teaching, Prophet Hari unveils a profound Kingdom secret regarding the custodianship of graces and how embracing sonship enables individuals to gain insight and learn the ways of their spiritual father, thereby allowing them to partake in the divine grace that he carries.
    In his epistle to the Philippinian church, Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 1:6-7 about becoming partakers of "his grace".
    We need to understand that all grace and anointing emanate from the Lord, who is both the source and bestower of these gifts. However, Paul, through divine election and diligence, had become a custodian of a specific dimension of grace. He partnered and labored with the Lord, unlocking a distinctive configuration of grace that was specific to his ministry.
    Apostle Paul possessed a special grace that enabled him to grasp and personalize the gospel of Christ, to the extent that he referred to it as "my gospel" in Romans 16:25. While we all have access to the Bible, some capture the essence and the presence of the Spirit in varied measures. Whereas a man of God possesses a unique grace and disposition and in partnering with him, you partake in the grace that resides within him. Sonship is a powerful alignment where encountering the man is encountering grace itself.
    In the garden, God granted Adam and Eve dominion. Even though He was aware of the serpent's conversations, He observed how they would respond and fulfill their assigned task. God is unafraid to entrust people with dimensions of grace, as His capacity to trust is boundless. He bestows a gift (grace) upon someone, making them its custodian, it is how God operates. Some struggle with this truth because they find it difficult to accept that God can work through a person. 
    In 2 Kings 6:15, Elisha prayed for his servant's eyes to be opened, and the Lord answered his prayer, enabling the servant to see the horses and chariots of fire. Likewise, in response to his request, the Lord blinded the eyes of the opposing army. Elisha possessed the remarkable gift to grant and withdraw sight, making him a custodian of the dimension of spiritual sight. His introduction to this dimension occurred when he witnessed his mentor Elijah being carried away by horses and chariots of fire.
    God has the power to take a portion of the spirit that is upon a man of God and impart it to another, making them partakers of that grace. This is exemplified in Numbers 11:16, where God divides the spirit of Moses among 70 leaders. As a result, these leaders begin to function under a new dimension of grace.
    A son is not limited to his own experiences, knowledge, abilities, or skills. He can be empowered by coming in alignment with a superior grace. This is essentially God's shortcut, where a father can open up an entire world, granting privileges and access that might otherwise be inaccessible.
    Regrettably, not all men of God are fathers, it demands a certain kind of diligence and intentionality to raise sons. The true accomplishment of a father is when he can recreate and see a reflection of himself in another. You grow in sonship and partake of your father’s grace by submission, alignment, partnership, honor and taking on his assignment.
    When you receive a divine calling, God imparts a unique dimension of grace for you to rule.

  • Prophetic Relationships - Part 1

    When God created man, He allowed him to experience both the Creator and His creation.  Adam enjoyed communion with God. However, even within the garden, God observed him and remarked, "It is not good for man to be alone."
    This makes it evident that God wired man for connection and divine relationships right from the very beginning. Even though Adam was in the perfect garden, in the presence of God Himself, God recognized that Adam needed a helper. Together, Adam and Eve were meant to carry out God's purpose, fulfill their assignment and calling and produce offspring who would be the extension of God. And this serves as a prototype from which every relationship on Earth flows.
    There was a helper inside of Adam but it required the Father to assist Adam in locating his own helpmate. Adam instantly loved Eve for she was a part of him, she was the bone of his bone and the flesh of his flesh. The beauty of prophetic relationships is that they are made of the same fabric. You cannot be a part of two different worlds and journey towards the same destiny. Confusion ensues when destiny and vision collide.
    When your relationships are in alignment, the encounters and grace one receives are also received by the other. The presence of God can impact and touch an individual even when they are not there in person, solely due to their alignment with the person who is present in the room.
    Your relationships are a reflection of where you are in life and depending on the level, you attract and sustain the same. Study your relationships to identify what feeds, nurtures, and sustains them. If you want to upgrade your relationships, you must upgrade yourself first. Change begins with you! You cannot be spiritual and yet have carnal relationships; your fire cannot be turned on and off like a switch. Radiate your light consistently, regardless of your circumstances and your company.
    How does God send help? He sends you a man or woman of God who is on fire, one that comes from the very presence of God and puts his mantle on you like Elijah did; if you are intelligent, you will perceive it and grow into his stature. Elijah was a window into who Elisha could become but it was a choice Elisha had to make. You are a product of the voice you submit to and choose to follow, and by submitting to the word, you unlock the world behind it.  You become more like the word as you listen and yield to it.
    Many of us congregate and form relationships over our pain. We find kindred spirits in pain because we like to be understood. It’s a beautiful feeling to experience empathy—to finally come to a place where you feel seen and heard. However, pain is not meant to be permanent; don’t stay there forever; move towards being healed and made whole. You get to determine if you want to remain in the company of empathizers or pursue help. Choose destiny over empathy.
    Perhaps you have endured a difficult childhood and painful circumstances. It is possible that, while you may have grown physically, you’ve never confronted the child who endured the trauma and pain. God has a purpose for the mature man in you, and it is critical that you be healed in every area. In this season, God requires that you redefine your DNA and your relationships. He desires maturity, for the work He intends to do in and through you can only be accomplished by a mature vessel.
    It is possible to be in the presence of a deliverer and not be delivered. Today we live in a generation where knowledge abounds, yet understanding is scarce and that is why many don’t bear fruit. You have understanding when your knowledge empowers you to produce results. Knowledge merely talks, while understanding creates.  You are a true son or daughter when you can replicate the works of your Father.
    Through this teaching, you have been given a prophetic opportunity to redefine your relationships. May you walk with understanding.ReplyReply to allForwardAdd reaction

  • The System of Samuel - Part 2

    God calls Samuel a faithful priest, a prophet that would serve according to His heart and mind. In this teaching, Prophet Hari is revealing the DNA of a prophet and the keys to unlock the voice of God.

     

    In 1 Samuel 2 we read that the sons of Eli were wicked and heeded not to the corrections of their father. Therefore, God sent a man with a message about His displeasure concerning the ill-affairs of Eli’s family and that He was raising another faithful priest to serve.

     

    The prophetic is so dynamic that information can be received from different dimensions but you shouldn't assume that it automatically applies to you. 

    We get into error because we assume things about ourselves that God hasn’t spoken. The man of God was only a messenger who was to bring the news about the prophet that God was raising.

     

    It isn’t sufficient to only walk a morally upright life, you must be one that has access to the heart and mind of God. Not everyone who is morally upright in the world knows the heart and mind of God. A true prophet is in sync with God, in- tune with God’s heartbeat, carrying the evidence of the invisible Almighty God.

     

    Samuel was ordained by God to be a prophet even before he was conceived, but his office didn’t start at birth; he still had to serve the man of God, in the house of God. He didn’t know he was special or called, and yet he diligently served without any expectations. You can be called, but it is faithfulness that elevates you.


    Samuel carried out the duties of Eli and his sons, not because of a position but out of dedication. Because he did what Eli and his sons were supposed to do, he received what they were meant to receive. 

     

    God is drawn to individuals who are faithful in their pursuit. Anybody can be faithful when everything is glorious; but the key to provoke the voice of God is to diligently serve without entitlement.

     

    When God wanted to bring a word, he went to Samuel because of his commitment. The invisible God broke the barrier and called out to Samuel.

    Can you sustain the momentum and pursuit until the invisible becomes visible and tangible? The diligent pursuit of a reality makes that dimension accessible to you.

     

    God didn’t change his method because Samuel didn’t initially perceive the call, but expected him to interpret His way. Is it possible that God presents Himself in a way that requires us to discern and respond? God doesn’t exist for us, we exist for Him!

     

    Samuel’s first prophecy was against his own master Eli, but his faithfulness is what set him apart; because our loyalty is not to a system but unto God.

     

    May the grace of Samuel become your portion!

  • The System of Samuel - Part 1

    Is it possible to have a title, and yet not fear the Lord? Today, Prophet Hari starts a series on the System of Samuel. In the book of 1 Samuel 2:12- it describes the sons of Eli as worthless men.  In Israel, anybody could pick any job they like, except the family of Eli, who were chosen by God to be priests in the Temple of the Lord. Eli and his family had access to the things of God that nobody else had. Eli and his family had the privilege of representing God to men.God sees value and usefulness very differently than the world. God does not consider our title and function; He is looking for something deeper. It is possible to be in the temple of God and still not know the Lord, and that your works are divorced from the knowledge of God. It is possible that you were connected to God at some time and you are carrying the after-glow but you don’t have a relationship with God in the present. We must be careful to not engage with Holy things of God carelessly. Eli’s sons wanted to take what belonged to God, it was an abuse of protocol and principle; they were contaminating the worship and offering of the people to God.Your faithfulness is seldom tested in hard times of lack. The true test of a Christian is when they have plenty and when there is no pressing need. You are truly tested on how you deal with the things of God when you have everything you need. Submission is easy when you are in desperate need of help.Eli’s sons did not listen to the voice of their father. There is a posture of heart that comes into certain groups of people where they begin to rebel against sound advice and they can no longer discern that an instruction is coming to save their life. Lack of submission to the Word of the Lord and rebellion to instruction leads to death.Noah preached for a hundred years that the rain is coming yet no one was quick to repent. When you engage in a lifestyle of sin over and over again your heart slowly loses the capacity to discern an instruction and the warnings of God. It’s a curse when you can hear the words of warning but you cannot respond to it.
    Remember the ways of the Lord even when everyone is forgetting them. You are not a victim of your environment; you are the environment. Samuel ministered to the Lord day and night in the midst of chaos and sin. God is looking for a generation that wholly belongs to Him. God is looking for Samuels who will remain pure in a polluted environment.Samuel continued to grow both in stature and in favour with the Lord and also with man. If you can find the feet of Lord Jesus and stay there, you will find favour. We are doing everything today but to sit at his feet. We have abandoned the place of prayer and communion with God. The system of Samuel is the key to the favour of God.May God give you the grace to be a Samuel in your generation.

  • Birthing the Prophetic

    The Church is transitioning into an important season. In this teaching, Prophet Hari is giving us the end-time formula which will usher the glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

     

    The book of 1 Samuel gives us insight about a time where the Word of the Lord was rare and there were no open visions.The worst thing that could happen to a generation is that God withholds Himself from them. Poverty is not just the lack of money, but one is poor if the Word of the Lord is not with them.

     

    Although Elkanah knew the situation in his time and had knowledge of the slaking of the people of God, he vowed that he and his household will serve the Lord. This family feared, worshipped and sacrificed to the Lord. They were aware that Eli’s sons were misappropriating the offerings made to God, but this information didn’t stop them from continuing to give to the Lord what belonged to Him.

     

    When circumstances are pleasant, it seems effortless to love and honour the Lord, but Elkanah’s first wife Hannah, the one he loved dearly, was barren. This could be a reason for him to be offended with God, even so it did not stop him and his family from worshiping the Lord.

     

    Challenges and pain seem less burdensome when we know why we are going through them. The Lord had shut Hannah’s womb, she did not have an explanation, however when the hurt came, she didn’t go away from the Lord, instead she ran toward Him and wept bitterly at His feet.

     

    Hannah was not in denial of her situation, she knew that God was her only hope. We begin to walk in error when we bring matters to closure even before God speaks. We live in a generation where pain makes us walk away from God.


    The birth of a prophet is unique and cannot be similar to any other. Your process will be different and will require you to submit to the process of God. Prophets are born in the womb of prayer. When God finds an individual in the place of prayer; then prayer becomes the womb.

     

    Hannah’s womb was shut by God because God was knitting together a prophet.

    All it took for a nation to change was one woman labouring with God.

     

    Hannah is symbolic of prayer, her prayers gave birth to the prophetic (Samuel) and the prophetic gave birth to the Kingly (David). Every time a king has to manifest, there has to be a striving in prayer and the birthing of a prophet. John the Baptist was born and made way for Christ the King.

     

    Therefore, before the return of the Lord, there will be a great movement of prayer and out of that place of prayer will be a birthing of a generation of prophets.

     

    Be a Hannah in your generation, that will wrestle with God in prayers and tears to birth the end time move of God.
