FORWARD FLOW: INTERACTION WITH THE PROPHETIC
A Forward Flow powered by precious promises is God’s decree over the ALFC church family this year. You see, God never guesses; there is no room for error in His pronouncements. Whatever He declares, is timely, accurate and is essentially necessary for us to walk, run and fly successfully through seasons.
Forward flow, powered by precious promises is His antidote, prescription or intervention to anything that comes up against us; that’s why we need to hold on to it so dearly. It is pregnant with motion, advancement, promotion, growth and depictive of change of state; from static to active state.

God is “big” on what we are becoming and prioritizes our empowerment for transformation. We are called to become wiser, healthier, wealthier, greater thereby defying the usual status quo of stagnation. Change of state is not an option but a must for us and that is what Forward Flow is all about.
The precious promises, which is the word of God, is the driver/ prime mover in our becoming what God desires of us. These must be part of our daily spiritual diet so as to produce the spiritual health we so much need for our continued advancement, progression, promotion….!
There’s more territory to conquer, more wickedness to subdue and more shouts of victory to come. This is only possible with the forward gear (forward flow) coupled with the right fuel (precious promises) and a mind focused on victory. We should never lose sight of where we are headed!!
The Bible in Hebrews12:2 (MSG) says, keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed – that exhilarating finish in and with God – he could put up with anything along the way; cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God.
A precedent has been set by our Lord Jesus Christ, the one we are called to imitate and follow. Regardless of what was before him, He never looked back but only pressed forward towards the glory that was set before him. He began and completed.
There’s a generous response of the Spirit of God towards those who choose to plug and connect with His intentions in that prophetic declaration making their lives attractive. Any interaction with this truth, is an assurance of the enablement to defy all odds along our paths as we press on towards the mark of glory. This is our operating system complete with all the tools we need to navigate the sharp bends, valleys, fires, rivers on our way to victory.
The ultimate end is for us to be established and become a praise in the earth (Isaiah 62:7). God takes the glory in all this and delights in it!!
~Ps. Wycliffe Mutesasira
