GOD NEVER FAILS

2011-01-27T18:02:00.001-08:00

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken,and shall he not make it good? (Number 23:19). What comfort, confident, and blessed assurance to know that you can trust God with your life! You can depend on Him to take care of you and guide you into your destiny; the destiny of His working! He's trustworthy, faithful and reliable! God never fails. When you trust in the Lord you shall not be confounded (1 Peter 2:6). That means you'll never be brought to shame or dishonor; you'll never be disgraced or "put to blush," for trusting The Scripture is replete with testimonies of those who, in defiance of life-threatening circumstances, demonstrated absolute trust and confidence in God and experienced a miracle. The three Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, for one, at the risk of their lives, defied King Nebuchadnezzar'S decree for them to bow to an image of gold. They were therefore thrown into the fiery furnace but their Faith and Trust in the God that never Fails prevailed, and they got a miracle. No wonder the Psalmist declared ”in God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me" (Psalms 56:11). The Bible describes Him as the friend that sticks closer than a brother (Psalms 46:1). All you need do is call on Him. He said "Call on me in the days of trouble, I will deliver you, and you will honor me".(Psalms 50:15). This is God's invitation to you to trust Him, irrespective of the challenges you might be facing right now, and He'll not fail you. He want you to put your trust in Him alone, and rest your faith on His Word. Let His eternal Word be your hope and the anchor for your soul.Remember, God and His Word are one: ”in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,And the Word was God" (John 1:1). Thus, to say God never fails means His Word never fails. The Bible assures us that though heaven and earth shall pass away, God's Word always comes forth with enough power to effect a change in you. So, demonstrate your trust in Him today and take Him by His Word. Act on His Word today for God Never Fails. He's the all-powerful and eternal God of glory, the maker and ruler of heaven and earth.

YIELD YOURSELF TO THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD

2010-11-06T07:26:00.000-07:00

YIELD YOURSELF TO THE MINISTRY OF THE WORDMeditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all {1 Timothy 4:15}.The Word of God has a ministry in our lives, and it’s important that we recognize this and yield ourselves to it. More that ever before, especially in these last days, we should crave the Word with rapacious appetite. The reason for this is that your promotion, success, health, increase and greatness in life are all in the Word. Therefore yield to the ministry of the Word today; open your heart and mind to receive God’s Word and meditate on it like never before.Our opening scripture admonishes that you meditate on the Word and give yourself wholly-completely-to the ministry of the Word! Yield to it let the Word have power in your life. When you hear the Word, yield yourself to it. What is it to yield? It means not to resist or contend; to submit, succumb, give way or under; to give place or precedence to something or someone.For example, imagine that someone said to you “Stand up,” without him carrying you up. All you heard was a voice. You can decide whether or not to get up. If you don’t get up, you’ve resisted the instruction. But when you choose to get up, you’ve yielded yourself; you’ve succumbed, submitted, or given place and precedence to that instruction. And because you’ve yielded to that instruction you’ll enjoy the benefits of that instruction.So when God says “Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all,” He means your furtherance, progress, advancement and prosperity will appear unto all as you yield to the Word.The Greek word translated “appear” above is “phaneros” and it means to spread abroad. Thus, your advancement, furtherance, progress, and prosperity will spread abroad, and become widely and openly known as you yield yourself to the Word. This is very important.If you’ll yield yourself-submit, give way, precedence and preeminence to God’s Word in your life, the Word will propel your advancement. Everyone will see that you’re making tremendous progress in everything area of your life. It’s the ministry Word to make this happen for you.

Walking By Revelation

2010-10-02T00:16:00.000-07:00

Walking By Revelation“…when you know too much from your head, it makes you a man, when you know from God, you live the life of God.” A Christian is one that is born of the Word of God, when you gave your life to God the life of God was impacted into your spirit and from then on your human life was supplanted with God’s divine life. No wonder the Bible says “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever” (1 Peter 1:23).We have been called to walk by revelation of God’s Word, there is no limitation with you, you are no longer dominated by the forces of this life rather, you function with kingdom principles and live the heavenly life here on earth.If This Things be in You this new life letting you know that as new creations we are God’s second creation and this second creation is faultless and perfected in Christ.

YOU NEED THE HOLY GHOST

2010-07-08T11:59:00.000-07:00

But the Comforter, which s the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you {John 14:26}.I always urge Christian who ask if it's compulsory to receive the Holy Spirit to remenber the words of Jesus in Acts 1:8. He said, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father....{Acts 1:4}.If anyone knew the importance and ministry of the Holy Spirit in a man, it was Jesus. When He commanded the appostle not to depart from Jerusalem but wait fot the promise of the Father, He was referring to the Holy Ghost. He didn't want them to go out wothout the anointing the divine enablement, power and presence of the Holy Spirit. He wanted them to be inbued with power from on high so they could live the supernatural life of the kingdom and carry out His ministry.In Acys 19, the Apostle Paul went to ephesus and met certain believers, whom he asked,"...Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?" and they replied, "We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost" {Acts 19:2}, He explained the importance and ministered to them and they received the Holy Ghost. Paul, like Jesus, understood the need fro God people to receive the Holy Spirit.There's no authentic Christianity without the Holy Spirit. No one can live the victorious and triumphant life in Christ without the Holy Spirit. So receiving the Holy Spirit is compulsory for every Chriatian. The Holy Spirit is the one who gives you the power to live for the master. Your offerings and service to God are not even acceptable to Him accept they are presented through the Holy Spirit [ROMANS 15:16; Hebrews 9:4}.So if you're born again and are yet to receive the Holy Spirit, it's time to do so. Say, " In the Name of Jesus Christ, I receive the Holy Spirit right now, and I speak in other tongues as He gives me utterance!" Now, go ahead and magnify God in other tongues.

Learn To Fight From Heaven

2010-03-20T08:16:00.000-07:00

Learn To Fight From Heaven

They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera [Judges 5:20}.

The verse above is part of a beautiful account in the Bible of a time when the children of Israel were being oppressed by the king of Canaan {Judges 4:2}. Deborah, who was the prophetess and Judge of Israel at the time sent for a man called Barak and prophesied to him that God would use him to deliver Israel {Judges 4:6-7}.

In the ensuing Battle, the Bible says “…The LORD Discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariots,and fled away on his feet” {Judges 4:15}. Though
Sisera didn’t know it, he was fighting a heavenly host, and not just army of Israel; “the stars in their courses fought against Sisera” {Judges 5:20}.

When you’re faced with opposition, don’t fight from this earthly realm-learn to fight from heaven. Let’s imagine there’s someone threatening your job at work because you’re born again. Rather that cry “O, God, why me?” or try to lobby some powerful people to plead for your job, you ought to get home, lock yourself in your room and begin to speak in tongues violently; directing your mind towards the situation.

As you do this, angel will mobilized, and circumstances will be shifted for your sake. Things will be rearranged in your favour. No wonder the Bible says “…all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” {Romans 8:28}. This is the reason I always say that as a child of God, you can never be disadvantaged. There’s no need for dejection, sadness or despair, for nothing and no one can successful stand against you when you learn to fight from heaven.
When you know how to fight from heaven, you’ll never lean on the arm of flash, for you know that your help comes from the Lord of heaven and earth! He has commanded everything that exist-living and non-living to work together for your good.

Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for teaching me today how to fight from heaven! I refuse to rely on human ability or might, but rather on the power of the Holy Ghost that’s been made available to me. As I speak in other tongues, my angels are mobilized to move on my behalf and put my adversaries to flight, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Psalm 20:7 Zachariah 4:6

HAVE FAITH IN GOD

2010-03-04T08:40:00.000-08:00

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God (Mark 11:22).

When Jesus said in Mark 11:22 “Have faith in God,” the literal connotation of the expression is: “Have the faith of God,” or “Have the God-kind of faith; the supernatural faith that God applies. This implies that you can apply the same principles as God did throughout the scriptures and be guaranteed the same results.

For example, when God told Abraham, “ I have made thee a father of many nations” (Romans 4:17), he was about a hundred years old at the time, and Sarah his wife, who was already ninety years old, apart from being barren had also reached menopause. Hence it wasn’t naturally possible for them to bear children. Yet, God told Abraham, “a father of many nations have I made thee” (Genesis 17:5), and called Sarah “mother of nations” (Genesis 17:16).

This was the faith of God in operation; it calls things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). And true to God’s Word, the Bible says “…Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him” (Genesis 21:2).

You’ve been called to operate the God-kind of faith. You too can call things that be not as though they were! Through your faith-proclamations you can call forth your desires and bring into existence your favorable expectations, based on the Word of God.

Remember, as He is, so are we in this world (1John 4:17); we can function like God; we can emulate His faith and have His kind of results.

Confession
I know who I am. As Jesus is, so am I in this world. I function by the same principles of faith by which my heavenly Father made the heavens and the earth! Today, by my confessions of faith, I’m framing my world and causing the circumstances of my life to be in sync with God’s perfect will for me. Glory to God!

Further Study:
John 20:21
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

John 8:28
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Spiritual Exercise

2010-03-04T04:50:00.000-08:00

Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is valuable in every way, because it promises life both for the present and for the future (1 Timothy 4:8 GNB).

The most successful people in the world do very little thinking, yet achieve so much. This may come to you as a surprise but it’s the truth. They have learnt to look to their spirits for answers. To be very successful you have to train your spirit, Exercise your spirit. As a new creation in Christ Jesus, your spirit can be an accurate guide because that’s where the light of God is: “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly” (Proverbs 20:27).

Your spirit can receive light from God; ideas and thoughts that'll make you creative and excellent in all you do, such that you’ll hardly find yourself in trial-and-error situations. But for your spirit to be an accurate guide, you have to educate him. This kind of eduction is different from what you get from school. School education only helps to get your mind enlightened, but won’t suffice for you to be the best in life. That’s because the highest potential of the human nature isn’t in the mind but in the spirit.

So begin the exercise of educating your spirit with the Word. Do this by studying and meditating on the Word consistently. Spend quality time to listen to God’s Word regularly! That way, you develop your spirit for success and excellence. God’s plan is for you to have your spirit Exercised so He can relate with you at a high level.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of your Word to my spirit today. The entrance of your Word into my spirit grants me the light by which I function in the high levels of glory! As I study and contemplate your Word today, my spirit-man is illuminated to become a sure guide. Therefore, I know I won’t walk in confusion, for I have in me the light of life.

FURTHER STUDY
Proverbs 20:27
The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

Hebrews: 5:14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR STAYING HEALTHY.
Dearly beloved, we want to share with you practical tips for staying healthy. The 1st tip is laughter

Proverbs 17:22, “A merry heart doeth good like medicine but a broken spirit dries the bones.”
Laughter is very important. In your life, learn to laugh. Do not surround yourself with an atmosphere of sorrow or sadness. In Nehemiah 8:10, the bible declares that “The joy of the Lord is your strength”.
Joy activates the power of God in your life whilst sorrow activates the devil. You must learn to laugh. Always be full of joy and be happy. Paul in his letter to the Philippians wrote “Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice”.Laugh! Laugh. Real laughter. Do not let your life be uptight or too serious. Laugh! A day should not go by without you laughing. Do not take yourself too seriously. Even if you think there is nothing to laugh about, you go ahead and make somebody else laugh. Do not take things too seriously. Do you know that frowning all the time can give you wrinkles on your face whilst anger can cause tension headaches? Instead of being angry and frowning laugh. Laughter should be like a medicine you take everyday. A day should not go by without you laughing. If everyday you moan, complain, whine and gripe saying “nobody loves me, nobody cares for me etc, this would weaken your faith.

Proverbs 12:25; “Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop but a good word makes it glad”. If nobody is cheering you up, you can get a good word for yourself from the scriptures. For example 1 John 3:2 has a good word “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou gayest prosper and be in good health even as thy soul prospereth. This is a really good word. You start by saying, “Hallelujah! I’m prospering, I am in health, this is what God wants for me. I’m living a good life.” Remember (A cheerful heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick. - The Living Bible). Laughter and a good word will make your heart glad

When you go to the hospital the doctor says take this tablet, three times daily. You take it religiously because you believe that it will help you get well. In the same vein, we want to prescribe a medicine for you. It’s called laughter. Everyday you must laugh. Have a good laugh at least three times a day. This is the word of God; a merry heart is like medicine. Amplified version – A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. Laugh, until you are full of laughter. Do not be depressed. Depression is not good and besides it is not of God. When you laugh, there will be strength. Laugh for the joy of the Lord is your strength; it is not an empty scripture. Learn to be happy because you have the victory. Hallelujah

Leadership

2010-01-12T10:01:00.000-08:00

A leader in the house of God is the one that take responsibility and can be rely and counted upon. He is the one that have been given the mantle of leadership over the world to win, raise and nurture them in the way of the Lord. He gives direction and speaks the mind of God in every matters or situation. He is a shepherd in the house that protects and care for the sheep.

Spiritual leadership is not a title but a responsibility. If you are a Christian, it means you have been called into this category of leadership and you are now the light of your world, but you need to be raised and trained in things of the Spirit, so you can be able to handle them. Before I explain what I mean by the things of the Spirit, it is very important that we understand the make up of a man.

Man is a Spirit that has a soul but lives in a body, 1 thessalonians 5V23. The body is the physical part of a man that gives us right to live here on earth, but the soul is our mind our reasoning faculty where we function intellectually, while the spirit is non-material part of a man that respond to deity. Our spirit makes contact with divinity. This is the reason why we should be concern about those that are not born-again and win them to Christ because when a man is not born-again He is not recognized in heaven therefore he is at mercy of the devil. Our spiritual responsibility is to make sure we bring the lost souls into the house and disciple them that is the essence of spiritual leadership.

The Word of God is spirit and life and to get acquainted with the things of the spirit, we must get to know and meditate on the Word and grow in it. 1peter 2v2 says, “as new born babes, desires the sincere milk of the Word that ye may grow there by.” The Word of God can build us up in righteousness Romans 1v16-17. To be successful and prosper as a Christian we must be able to balance our spiritual needs which are the most important needs of man because human needs are spiritual. Act 28V27.Romance 12v1-2.

Thoughts are descriptive imaginations of the mind. They can be good (positive) or bad (negative). Thoughts can be external (i.e. not originating) from you or they can be your own thoughts.

For example you may be thinking of the food you want to eat or some place you want to go. That is a thought that comes from you.

However, there are certain thoughts that come to you which are not from you. These thoughts are not good thoughts. For example, a thought may come to you in this form:
- “You are going to loose your healing”

“The pains you used to suffer will come back again”
“All the symptoms are going to return”
“Nobody ever got healed from this kind of condition(e.g. HIV, Cancer)”
When these kinds of thoughts come to you, you must know they are not from you. No right thinking person wishes evil for himself. They are also not from God. He says in His Word; Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end”. The end you expect is certainly not death or being confined to a wheel chair or sentenced to a life of pills and daily insulin injections.
So if you are not the one thinking these thoughts and they are not from God, then where are they from? That’s a very good question. These negative thoughts are from the devil.

By the time you are through reading this mail you would have learnt how to handle negative thoughts.

HOW TO HANDLE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

Recognize that these thoughts are not from you
They are external they are like an outside force, trying to invade you.

Do not permit thoughts of fear, doubt etc
The Bible says “Give no place to the devil” Ephesians 4:27. Do not give the devil any place in your life through thoughts of fear or doubt.

Do not dwell on negative thoughts
Dwelling on negative thoughts is a form of meditation. When you dwell on them, you are actually meditating on them. Before you know it, these negative thoughts will become larger than life to you. So don’t fuel the thoughts by thinking about them.

Replace negative thoughts with thoughts from the Word of God
If you are not going to dwell on or think negative thoughts then what should you do? You must replace these negative thoughts with the Word of God. The Bible says in Philippians 4:8 “….Think on these things….”What things? “Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there is anything praise worthy- meditate on these things” that’s what you should think of.
For example, death is not God’s will for you. The wheel chair is not God’s will for you. So what will you think of? Think of yourself healthy, doing all the things you will like to do. Have a picture of yourself strong and healthy. The more you dwell on these thoughts, the more real it will become to you.

Reject negative thoughts
Reject everything contrary to God’s Word, Plans and Provisions for your health. When thoughts of fear, doubt etc come, don’t be afraid. Stand firm and reject those thoughts. Speak out loud and say “devil I reject every thought contrary to God’s Plan and Provisions for my health. I reject thoughts of fear and pictures of death. I am the healed of God. By the stripes of Jesus I was healed more than 2000 years ago and I’m still healed now. The healing anointing is working in me. Divine life is in my body. I refuse to fear. I reject doubt and fear in Jesus Name. Amen.

Beloved, the Bible says “Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the forces of life” Proverbs 4:23. The overcoming life which you have received is in you. The Greater one lives in you. Never be afraid.

Stand your ground and speak the word. When you think on the Word, you will speak the Word. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks Luke 6:45. Let the Word fill your heart (spirit) and your mouth will always speak the Word.

Remember that God loves you so much that he gave his life for you. He paid for your healing so you can live a life of joy, victory and health. So never be afraid. Stand firm, reject all negative thoughts. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7

How to Develop Your Spirit

2009-11-10T10:44:00.000-08:00

In James 1:25 says; but whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

It is the desire of every believer to make Spiritual advancement and grow in the things of God. Unfortunately, not many know how to do so and this is why I’m sharing with you today on How to develop your Spirit.

In order to develop your Spirit, you must practice the Word of God. Practicing the Word is doing what the Word says to do. Maybe you don’t have any money on you and you’re worried about what you will eat and wear plus all these, your rent is overdue. What you need do at this point is take your eyes off your needs and practice Philippians 4:6; Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs and don’t forget to thank him for his answer (TLB)

When you make God and His Word the First resort in your life, your attitude to life will change and you’ll reap what the Word says. As you practice the Word, worry, doubt, fear and unbelief will be removed from you, and new Words of faith and success will fill your mouth. Refuse to complain and murmur about your situation, for complainers have no place in the Word of God.

TAKE GOD AT IS WORD

2009-09-24T04:48:00.000-07:00

...So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the things whereto I sent it (Isaiah 55:11)

Have you ever heard a fellow Christian make comments like "if it's God's will for me to be healed, I'll be healed," or ''whatever will be will be.'' They seem oblivious of the fact that God has already given us His Word to live by. God's Word is not just an account of historical happenings but the revelation of Himself and His eternal purpose for man. His Word is full of power and the divine ability to produce what it talks about. Always take God at His Word.

So efficacious is the Word of God that it always prevails; it never returns back to Him with an excuse of inaction. The knowledge and understanding of God's Word is imperative in our relationship with Him. When you study and understand the Word of God, you'll not entertain any doubt as to whether it's His will for you to be prosperous, healthy and successful in life. Instead of asking such questions like ''is it God's will for me to have this or that,'' you'll simply take Him at His Word and expect what the Word says about you to come to pass.
I urge you today to take God at His Word! Trust in the integrity of God's Word as final authority concerning any situation. Let the Word of God be the regulator of your life; simply believe and accept that you're who God says you are, you have what He says you have, and can do what He says you can do, and it will produce for you what it talks about.

CONFESSION

My spirit is attuned to the Word of God. Every time I receive the Word, my faith increases and produces grater results, and my spirit gains the ascendancy over the situations and circumstances of life. I can never be defeated because my faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Hallelujah.

Scripture to study: Matthew 24:35 Luke 21:32-33

COMPASSION

2009-08-29T07:40:00.000-07:00

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. (Matthew 14:14)

The Bible lets us know that God is compassionate and full of mercy. In Psalm 78:38, the scripture didn't just say that God has compassion, but that He is full of it. That shows us the kind of God He is; His compassion is inexhaustible.

Compassion is the quality of recognizing or pitying the suffering of another with the desire to alleviate the suffering. It's a compelling motivation to take away the pains of another. God demonstrated compassion when, out of love, He gave His son, Jesus to die for the sins of the world. His compassion for us motivate Him to action. The Bible says, "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as for as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has on those who fear him."

compassion was also evident in the ministry of Jesus. Several times, the Bible says He was moved with compassion to heal the sick, feed multitudes, forgive people's sins, e.t.c. One time, He came across a widow who was on her way to bury her only son. Jesus, moved with compassion, stopped the funeral procession and raised the young man back to life and restored him to his mother (Luke 7:11-15)!

Compassion is a motivator; it's a quality that compels you to action . That's what distinguishes it from sympathy. Sympathy is when one feels pity but doesn't act. Don't just sympathize with people but be moved to produce a change in their situation. Like your heavenly father, be full of compassion, and let that compassion motivate you to help the very needy and hurting people around you.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for filling my heart with your love , Kindness and compassion. Just like Jesus, I'm compelled and motivated by compassion to alleviate the suffering of others today by sharing the good news of your love with them, and taking other conscious step to alleviate their hurts and pain. As I do, miracles follow, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

SCRIPTURE TO READ: Jude 1:22 Mark 6:34

We're not of this World

2009-08-20T06:29:00.000-07:00

Introduction:But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them (2 Corrinthians 4:3-4).
　
At different times in scripture, the devil was Discribed as "the prince of this world" and "the god of this world." As much as these two sound alike, they mean different things. The term, "world," used in both phrases, was transfered from two seperate Greek words: "Cosmos" and "Aion". Cosmos to everythings in the world and its physical arrangement; all the beauty of the world and everything in it. "Aion", on the other hand means " a dispensetion of time; an age in which certain things happen," for example, the stone Age or the Ice Age. It refers to the way of doing things in that period of time.

The devil became prince or ruler of this world when Adam committed high treason and handed over the Cosmos to him. But when Jesus- the second and last Adam came, He dispossessed satan of his authority by virtue of His death. buriel and resurrection, and gave us the victory! That was why He told His disciples: "Now is the judgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted from the earth, will draw all men unto me" (John 12:31-32).

Thus, satan doesn't have any right over this physical world anymore; he only has right over the age (the aion or the system of this world) which includes the world's economy, fashion, arts, science, and so on, because he's responsible for its way of life. This explain why many of these things are in a mess; its because satan is the god of the age.

We're however not of this age; we belong in God's kingdom and operate by a different set of rules. Wedon't depend on the social, financial, economic and health systems of this world, because they are programmed to fail! We depend only on the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and we operate by the principles of God's Kingdom. We're not of this world.
　
Prayer

Dear Father, I thank you for showing me today that i'm not of this world. Its systems don't apply to me because i operate by the higher principles of God' kingdom. I refuse to be bound by the limitation that exist in the world today, for greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Amen.
　
　

Spiritual Enlightenment

2009-08-14T12:54:00.000-07:00

Introduction: And he said, who told thee that thou wast naked? Has thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest eaten not eat? (Genesis 3:11).

As a Christian, your "Spiritual Enlightenment" is very Paramount. The opening scripture shows that God is concerned about who you listen to because your life is the expression of all you've built into you; friends you have been listening to. those who've been advising you, sharing with you and talking with you. You cannot be different from the information you've accumulated in your spirit. As you grow in your christian walk, learn to listen to Godly men and women whose lifestyle is from heaven:" Remember Them which have the rule over, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation"(Hebrew 13:7)

You can't watch every television program , listen to every tape,or read every newspapers. This is so important because in a matter of time, what you're made of, will show up in your attitude, your finances, and your life as a whole.

For example, among little children there are different groups; there are those who constantly listen to their fathers complain of lack and want. But there are other kids who have nebver heard their parents talk lack or need; such children can't speak the same language as those in the first group. That's the same way it is spiritually; it's easy to tell who you've been listening to.

Choose today to listen to those who truly know the Lord, not to murmurers and complainers who are ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth by this, your Spiritual Enlightenment that you have in God's word will leads your through all obstacles of life.

Prayer

Dear Father, i choose today and always to follow after your prosperity, success and total well-being, in Jesus' name. Amen

FAITH FAMILY

2009-08-05T06:44:00.000-07:00

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Sanson. and of Jephehae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets" Who through faith sudued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.Quenced the violence of fire...{Hebrew 11:32-34}

The eleven chapter of the book of Hebrews gives us an incisive chronicle of the acts of faith by our spiritual forbears and how they accomplished seemimgly impossible feats through faith. Beginning with Abraham, the father of faith, we see how these great men of old became champioms in life, accomplishing phenomenal things by faith,

However, the scripture declares that these great men and their uncommon victories couldn't be made perfect without us because God has provided better things for us {Hebraws 11:40}. Also, their faith serves as an example for us to follow, and their deeds were written for our inspiration and adification. Let's for instance consoder the attitude of one of these great men of faith -Caleb. Caleb was so ful of faith that at age eight-five, when he ought to have long retired from "active military service," said to Joshua, "emember that forty years ago, God made a promise through Moses to give me Hebron? Give me Hebron now and i will drive out the giants" {Joshua 14:10-12}.

The fifteen chapter of the book of Joshua tells us how he drove out the giants from Hebron without requesting help from the army of Israel. All Caleb needed was the assurance that God was with him. That's the mentally we ought to have always, because we are born into this great family of faith.

You can live everyday in total victory and experience an unending stream of the miraculous as you learn to put your faith to work as others did in Bible days. The Bible admonishes us to be "follows of them who through faith and patientce inherit the promise" {Hebrews6:12]. This refers to those who, through faith faced and overcame whatever was before them. They spoke forth words of faith and declared what would happened and whatthey said came to pass.

Abraham , Isaac. Jacob, David, the prophets of old, the Lord Jesus Christ and the apostles have all set for us examples of faith to emulate. Don't be the weak-link in the chain. You belong in the family of faith, therefore be bold to act your faith today.

Confession

I'm the faith-child of a faith -God. I live my life by the faith of the son of God who loved me. My life is upward and forward because my faith is strong and unwavering. Thank you Father for the great things you'll accomplish through me today, in Jesus'Name. Amen.

Further Scripture; Hebrews 11: 7-8

THE WINNING ATTITUDE

2009-07-27T10:53:00.000-07:00

David said moreover, the Lord that delivered me out the paw of the loin, and the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine[ 1Samuel 17:37}

The opening scripture is the account of David's first encounter with Saul, the king of Isreal. I want you to note that at this time he wasn't qualified to be in the army nor come out in public. Yet , the confidence he exuded as he spoke was nothing short of that of a strong and fierce warrior.
When you study the life of David, you'll understand the reason he became so bold and confident of killing Goliath of Gath was that he had trained for his Winning Attitude. He didn't mind that he was somewhat deemed insignificant by his folks for he knew his future would be great. Nobody know that while he busied tending his father's sheep, God was traning him for the future.
The responsibilities given to him at home by his father seemed menial in comparison with those of his brothers. Nowithstanding, he performed every task faithfully and with utmost diligence. These were the qualities that brought him before Saul. Remember the Bible says, ''Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men'' [Proverb 22: 29}.

Though David was a stripling; unfit and untrained young lad according to societal standards, yet became God's great general for Isreal! God trained him for his future.
Therefore, don't despise any responsibility you're given irrespective of how low it might seem. Philippians 2:14-15 says, ''Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless,the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perversed nation, among whom ye shine as light in the world.''Always remember that God is training you for the great future through His Word and by His Spirit.

TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

2009-07-06T06:03:00.000-07:00

To appoint unto that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
(Isaiah 61:3)

the latter part of the scripture above describes God's people as the trees of righteousness. In other words, if you're born again, you're a tree of righteousness, planted by God. Behind the physical body that you see is a tree of righteousness, and righteousness is the nature of God that sets you apart from the world unto excellence and glory.

No wonder the Bible says all the others trees of the field shall clap their hands when you pass by: "For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you unto singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands" (Isaiah 55:12). The field here is the world; in other words, the people of the world-trees of the field will clap their hands as they recognize and acknowledge the glory. beauty and perfection of God in your life. As you go forth with joy, He says the mountains and the hills break forth before you.

Now, because we're trees of righteousness planted by God, we can only live by staying connected to our life's source which is Christ. He is our righteousness.
You've been established in zion as a tree of righteousness, ordained to be fruitful and productive in every good works; ordained to radiate the glory of God.
No wonder, the Bible says concerning the righteous: "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, that bringeth forth fruit in his season; his leaf also not wither; and whatever he doeth shall prosper" (Psalm 1:30)

Confession
Dear Father, you're the source of my life; without you I can do nothing. Thank you for strengthening me and making my life fruitful. Thank you for making me a tree of righteousness; I'm planted by the rivers of water, fruitful and productive in every good work.

THE SAINTS OF GOD

2009-06-25T03:40:00.000-07:00

Now therefore ye are more strangers and foreigners, but fellow –citizen with the saints, and of the household of God. (Ephesians 2:19).

Some people erroneously think you can only be a saint after death and only if you’re promoted then to sainthood. In Psalm 16:3 the Bible talks about saints who are the in earth: “but to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.’’ The Apostle Paul in this epistles to the Church addressed the believers as saints, that’s because every born again child of God is a saint of God. You might want to ask. “Am I truly a saint, in spite of all the wrong things I do sometimes?” Emphatically yes!

A saint doesn’t mean someone who hasn’t done anything wrong, or someone who’s perfect. The Bible talks about the perfecting of the saints; And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and, some, evangelist; and some pastors and some, teachers; for the perfecting of the saints…” (Ephesians4;11-12). Now, if the saints were already perfect, they wouldn’t need perfecting. The reason God gave ministry gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to the church is for the perfecting of the saints. Thus saints are not those who are already perfect.

Scripturally speaking, ‘saints’ means holy or consecrated ones. Therefore, as a saint of God, you’re holy and consecrated unto the lord; you’re set apart for God’s glory and His divine purpose. You’re set apart for success, victory, prosperity, peace, progress and divine health, Take some time to meditate on this truth today, that you’re a saint in God’s kingdom of light; not when you get to heaven, but here in the earth. Therefore live as one by living in the Word.

THE GRACE OF GOD

2009-06-05T10:25:00.000-07:00

But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever: Amen (Peter 3:18).

Introduction: Grace is the outward Reflection of The Glory of God. The beauty of God that causes a man to prosper in everything he does. Grace is the beauty of divinity.
Grace is the inner working of God that is seen from the outside. It’s that thing that causes you to move from one level to another. Grace is the favor of God manifested in your life; and that’s why the Bible instructs us to grow in it. Every child of God has received Grace in abundance (Romans 5:17), but the degree to which you let it reflect is up to you. The more you fill your heart with the Word and have the Holy Spirit work in your life, the greater grace will shine forth on the outside.
You can and should increase in that outward reflection of the glory of God in your spirit, to such an extent that others will see it and glorify God. They might not be able to explain it, but they’ll not be able to deny that there’s just something excellent and beautiful about you. In our opening scripture, the Spirit of God through the Apostle Peter admonished us to grow in grace: “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.” The word “grow” is from the Greek “auxano” and it means to “increase” or “enlarge.” In other words, God wants you to increase in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” For example, when the Lord Jesus was a child, the Bible says he “…grew (increased) and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him” (Luke 2:40). He increased in grace, even as a child thus he had favour with God and man (Luke 2:52)
In the book of Acts, we’re told that Barnabas went to visit certain brethren and saw the grace of God upon them: “…when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and extorted them all…(Acts11:23). What Barnabas saw wasn’t a light beaming out of their heads- He saw the beauty of God, which is the grace. He saw in them the outward reflection of the glory of God. He saw the word working out excellently in the lives of these brethren. This can be your testimony today, as you recognize, take advantage and grow in the grace that’s in Christ Jesus. Scriptural Verse: 2 Peter 1:2; John 1:16; Ephesians 4:7.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN

2009-05-27T06:48:00.000-07:00

And the lord God planted a garden in Eden; and there he put man whom he had formed.
[Genesis 2: 8}

When God created the earth, He got everything ready. He planted a nice garden with a lot of juicy fruits, it was only after everything has been set that He created Adam and brought him into the garden. He brought him into nice and pre-planned world where he didn’t lack anything. He only gave Adam the responsibility to tend and keep. (Genesis 2:15), not so Adam would have a job but as a means of livelihood, but to make him responsible. This is the reason your job is not your source, but an avenue for learning, responsibility, discipline and contribution.

God’s got a better plan for you than having you hustle and live on your salary. According to God’s word, we’ve been born to do “…those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us {taking paths which He prepared ahead of time}, that we should walk in them {living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live}”(Ephesians 2:10 AMP). There’s a prearranged, good life which God has ready for you to live in Christ. He planned for you!

Some folks act though God was taken by surprise by their birth. They believe as though, God’s got the entire angel running helter-skelter trying to sort things out for this ‘surprise package’ that suddenly emerged on the scene. They obviously haven’t read Ephesians 2:10. God is not scratching His head wondering what to do about you. He planned for your coming before the foundation of the world and provided you with everything you needed for life and for godliness (2 Peter 1:3) What the Lord expects of you is to trust Him and cast yourself on His word, for His Word is your sustenance. Your salary was never intended to sustain you, rather, it’s to provide you with seed for sowing. Remember that the one who brought you to this world surely have a good plan to take care of you, so trust Him with your life. That you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound in every good work (2Corinthians 9:8)

THE TRUE CONFESSION

2009-05-12T09:02:00.000-07:00

...If thou shalt confession with thy mouth the lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation
[Romans 10:9-10}

The word ''confess'' in the scripture above means ''to speak the same things in consent with God.''It derives from the Greek word ''Homologia'' which means speaking the same things in consent. That means you're saying the same in agreement with God; you're saying what God has said. That's true confession. It has nothing to do with confessing all your sins to God as some people think.

The Bible says, ''...if thou shall confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.''That's the principle for salvaltion. This is not just talking about being saved from sins or the devil. It includes being saved from all the negative influences and circumstances of life.

So when you say Jesus is lord over your life!'' you're also saying'' He's Lord over your money, therefore, you can not be broke in your life!'' You're saying'' He's Lord over your body, therefore, you will never be sick or diseased!'' You're also declaring'' He is your Shepherd, therefore, you will not lack!'' Youspeakingthe same thing with God. You're saying what God has said! That's true confession.

Learn to declare with your mouth the same things God has said concerning you in His Word. No wonder the Bible says, ''...He hath said...so that we might boldly say...'' }{Hebrew 13:5-6}. Create the habit of studying and laerning God's Word, for that's how you will know what God has said about you,and then speak accordingly. Remember, what you say is what you get; therefore, speak the Word only, say what God has said concerning you in His Word! That's faith principle that guarantees a day-to-day life of sucess,victory and progress.

This is the true confession that can change a man's life for good.

THE LOVE OF GOD

2009-05-04T02:15:00.000-07:00

John 3:16 For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life

The love of God is the greatest power in the universe and it takes the Holy Spirit to put it in our heart. The kind of love I'm talking about is not a mother's love for her children. That's human love and human love is limited. God's love is true and boundless, and that's where the power is.

As Christians, we are called into that love the moment we gave our lives to Christ, and that love is shared abroad in out heart by the Holy Ghost. Our responsibility is to be conscious of it and work in it. When people see that love demonstrated through you, it has a potent effect on their lives and demons can't stand it, they check out immediately.

It reminds me of an old song we sing sometime:

"Let the world see Heaven in your eyes
Show them love they can't deny,
Let the world see Heaven in your eyes,
Heaven in your eyes."

God saved mankind by demonstrating His love by sending His son Jesus to die for them. Hitherto, as seen in the Old Testament, He had introduced the Law of Moses, but the people couldn’t keep it.

The love of God transformed a previously furious personality as Saul of Tarsus, into Paul the greatest Apostle to the Gentiles- one of the greatest Apostle ever known. That same love -power is potent enough to transform anybody -be it your aggressive in-law, your cooperative brothers, or Sister, Your nagging boss, etc. Show them love by hearing their voices differently and view their actions and motives differently. YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID AT THE END OF THE DAY.

UNWRAP THE PACKAGE!

2009-04-30T06:45:00.000-07:00

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as on my presence only, but now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling'' { Philippians 2:12}

When you read from the first verse of the first chapter of the book of Philippians you will observe that the apostle Paul was addressing the saints in Philippi: ''Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.'' And he charged them to work out their salvation with {godly reverence, awe} and trembling.

Salvation is a complete package and it's yours in Christ Jesus. The word ''salvation'' is an all-inclusive word, and it encompasses all the things God did for the human person in making him the best that he can be, having been the worst that he can be. But you have to discover the other beautiful things that come with the package. Paul didn't say, ''Pray that you will work it out,’’ Work out your own salvation.''

When someone gives you a gift packaged with beautiful wrapping paper, you wouldn't just settle for the packaging or the wrapping paper however beautiful it may be. You're more concerned with the gift inside the package. The person that gave you the gift doesn't have to unwrap the gift for you, you'll have to 'work out your salvation' by tearing the packaging open, because whatever is inside is far better that the wrapping sheets. Interestingly, many have gotten the gift of salvation alright, but they've settled for the packaging and the wrapping sheets alone!

Salvation is wonderful and it's worth rejoicing about but you must realize that salvation is just the packaging; there's so much more in the Word that we haven't yet touched. Make your study time a priority because that's the only way to unwrap this 'salvation package;' that's the way to work out your own salvation with godly reverence.

YOU ARE IN FOR A MIRACLE

2009-04-24T12:05:00.000-07:00

Jesus Christ the same yesterday ,to day and forever" [Hebrew 13:8}

The Lord is experienced in making something out of nothing; that's His specialty. He can make a success out of a failure and turn a pauper into a prince. This is the reason why i can trust Him to make something beautiful out of my life. Even if everyone thinks you're messed up, you can still trust Him to make your count. It doesn't matter where you are or where you met Him, just know that you're in for a miracle whenever He shows up.
Mary and Martha were faced with a situation that seemed so hopeless; their brother Lazarus had died. But when Jesus showed up four days after Lazarus was buried, a miracle took place,
He raised a four-days old corpse!

Once, a ruler of the synague named Jairus disrupted Jesus' message urging Him to come and pray for his daughter, and He hurriedly followed the man. On their way, they experienced a little delay but before they could continue on their journey one of the servants met Jairus on the way and said to him, ''...Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the master'' {Luke 8:49}.Then Jesus said to Jairus, ''...Fear not: believe only; and she shall be make whole'' {Luke 8:50}.

Jesus didn't say, ''I'm so sorry. If only you had come to Me earlier. Take heart'' No! He doesn't sympathize, He changes things, Hallelujah! Today, Jesus is saying to you the same things He said to Jairus, ''Fear not, only believe! Nothing is too difficult for Jesus. The question is: How willing are you to let Him change your situation? He says, ''I f you will only let me help you, if you will only obey, then i will make you...''{Isaiah 1:19 TLB} He can make you become anything you desire, only if you are willing. That's all He asking of you. Let me announce to you today that the master is here, and if you're willing, then you're in for a miracle.

Scripture to read: John 11:40

2009-04-21T13:48:00.001-07:00

But he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit"[1 Corinthians 6:17}

When you are connected to God, your fellowship with Him becomes enriching. It is how ever reflected in everything you say and do. The Bible says "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."{1 Peter 2:5} You are God's building, Jesus said, I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The Church has been empowered, and you are the Church of God, not made with human hands. He has presented you holy, unblameable and unreproveable in His sight [Colosians 1:22}. You are God's dwelling place; nothing can separate you from His love.

When you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Savior, you got plugged into eternal life. In other words, you received the life of Christ. Devine life is now at work in you. You're disconnected from the law of sin and death. Sin no longer has dominion over you. You’re in charge now, for in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and you are complete in Him which is the head of all principality and power.

The word of life disconnects you from the wrong company. Fear would have no place in your heart, and sickness will be frustrated by your Word proclamation, because you're living in the light and knowledge of your salvation. The Bible declares in Colossians 2:5,

"And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it, ''Stay connected to him.

THE PASSION FOR SOULS

2009-04-21T13:26:00.000-07:00

For if I [merely] preach the Gospel, that gives me no reason to boast, for I feel compelled of necessity to do it. Woe is me if I do not preach the glad tidings {the Gospel]! {1 Corinthians 9:16 AMP}

The things that matter to you are revealed in your passion. When you study the earthly ministry of the Lord Jesus, you'll discover that helping people and teaching people about God's Kingdom {that is, soul winning} were His passions. Therefore, it's no wonder He was willing to lay down His life for the same purpose.

When you come to the Lord Jesus. the first things He does is to ignite this same passion in you. Everyone who associated with the Lord Jesus became a passionate soul winner. Your love for Him is expressed in your passion to see souls come into God's Kingdom. The Apostle Paul's undying passion for the Lord translated into his passion for the gospel and for the souls of men.

Such was Paul's burning desire to see men come to know the Lord Jesus the same way he knew Him, that he stopped at nothing to spread the gospel, in spite of the great persecution. He declared " I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the Barbarians; both to the wise , and to the unwise. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel..."{Romans 1: 14-15}. You must recognize that you also area debtor to your world. You owe the people in your sphere of contact this message of God's great love for mankind. For all you know, you may be the only person with the opportunity to touch their lives with the gospel. If Jesus means a lot to you as you say He does, you will tell someone else about Him. Whatever you do and whatever you are, preach the Word. Tell them God loves them so much that He sent Jesus to die for them { John3:16} Be involved in God's work; contribute your time, effort, money and resources to soul winning. Be remembered as someone with a passion for God, for the Gospel and for the souls of men.

THE TREASURE BOX

2009-04-16T06:42:00.000-07:00

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water;but a man of understanding will draw it out"(Proverb20:5)
So many people spend years trying to find so-called treasure to better their lot. And it seems to always elude them every time, just about the time they thought they were about to get it.

I would to God that every Christian would realize that they aren't going to get something from anywhere, because God has already given them everything they'll ever need. That thing you've always wanted is in you. So you see,you don't have to look around you. rather look inwards. You're a treasure and your heart is the treasure box. If someone gave you a box of treasure and riches, You wouldn't just keep the box somewhere polishing it everyday. Rather, you'll immediately open it to dig out the treasures in there. But many Christians cry everyday for the treasures that God has kept in the treasure box He gave them. How sad! All you need to do is to know how to dig inside your treasure box and pull out whatever yu need. "How do i do that?" you ask.

Well. it's by discorvering who you are in Christ! so many Christians are sick, financially crippled and have unstable relationships with their spouses because they don't understand what i'm sharing with you today. I love to teach the Word of God because I know that if I can get people to see what I see, their lives will be transformed in a moment.

All the money you'll ever need, the cars you'll own, the houses you'll live in, the person you'll marry - everythnig, is all inside of you. God has done everything He needed to do, the rest is up to you.there's only one way to find out what God has kept in the treasure box of your heart and that's thruogh His word. Look into the mirror of God,which is His word and simply agree with what He says you are, and believe that you have what He says you have, then you will be functioning in the realm of God and watch how you life will be transform...the word of God work!

Scriptural reading: 2peter 1:3;

THE DIMENSIONS OF GOD'S LOVE

2009-04-06T12:33:00.000-07:00

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;that ye,being rooted and grounded in love, May be able able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and the depth, and height;And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be full with the fullness of God (Ephensians 3:17-19)

To be filled with the fullness of God is dependent upon our comprehension of the "dimensions' of God's love: the breadth, lenght, depth,and height of the Father's love.

The 'breath" of God's love refers to the width or the coverage of the Father love. How wide is it? Who does is include? John 3;16 gives us the answer: "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" God loves everyone in the world, even the worst sinner. Thus if you comprehend thye magnitude and infinitude of that love, then you too can love everybody you meet genuinely.

The "length" of God's love refers to the extent or limit of the father's love-how far can it go? Can it pursue the worst failures? Can it be stretched limitlessly in the face of provocation? The answer to all this is an emphatic YES!

God's love is limitless and doesn't give up. No womder Jesus said you must forgive if a brother offends you seventy times seven times (Matthew 18:21-22). Your love must know no limits.

The "depth" of God's love refers to the intensity of His love: "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestwed on us,caused us, dead though we were thruogh our offences, to live with Christ..." (Ephensians 2:4-5). His love is so intense that, even when we didn't want Him, He accepted us and eventully won us over! This should be your love- attitude; this should be the character of your love; you must love others passionately and intensely as God does.
The "height of God's love refers to the loftiness of the charater of your love, beyond human weakness. It means walking in love at God's high levels os excellence. It means letting your love rise above the criticisms of others! It means walking in high level of God's love that the bitterness of others can't drown it.Your love ought to be so lofty that nothing of this world could make you condescend to the low levels of hate, back bitting and malice. Do you want to be with the fullness of God's love?Then, you must function by the dimensions of God's love. Stay at the high level of love that thinks and talks differently; you'll be amazed at the workings of God in your life.

LEARN TO MINISTER TO THE LORD

2009-04-03T03:19:00.001-07:00

Theme Scripture:(Act 13:2)

Asthey minister to the lord,ann fasted, the Holy Ghost said, sepearate me
Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto i have called them.(Act 13:2)

It's easy to understand what is means for the Holy Spirit to minister to people
but not too many understand what it means to minister to the lord. to minister
to the is to worship Him an offering; and make confession of His word to His
name. Certain prophets and teachers ministered back to them and it resulted in the
first missionary journey or Paul and Barnasbas. They were able to hear and
had and receive directions from the Spirit of God because they had first
ministered to the Lord and fasted. How important it is to minister to the Lord!

In ministering to the Lord, the first thing you must do is give Him all your
attension,(proverb 4:20). You have to set out time to minister to Him. Next,
you speak words that extol His majesty. One of the synonyms of the word
minister is worship. You should begin praising Him, not just generally, but with
content. Priase Him for specific things. Don't just say "I praise you Lord."
Rather say things like,"I praise you for making your word real to me." Praise
Him with understanding.

When you constantly fellowship with the Lord this way, the Holy Spirit will
direct you in the affairs of your life, and you'll always know what to do in
every situation. You won't be in the dark about anything in life for the Lord

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUST AND FAITH

2009-03-26T05:05:00.000-07:00

Now faith is the substance of things hope for the evidence of things not seen(Hebrews 11:1)

There's a hymn i love and part of the wordings teach us the importance of trusting in the lord; it goes thus:

"Trust and obey, for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey".

Trusting in the lord is one of the bedrocks of the Christian faith.Trust is that confident assurance in God's personality, that He is who He says He is and He will do what He says He will do.Trust is for all-time, and every Christian must learn to trust the lord with Whole- Heart ed devotion. It's trust that will keep you hoping for a brighter tomorrow in the darkest of nights.Trust in God will keep you standing, and expecting that your miracle will eventually come to pass. Trust is so important, for without is there can be no basis for faith.

However, even though trust is the foundation of faith, faith is different from trust. The Bible defines faith as the "evident" of unseen realities;meaning faith is the "proof" that what were hoping for is yours now.that means faith is not futuristic-faith is for now:Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."Therefore, faith dictates the pace and the terms. Faith doesn't say God is going to do it"; faith says "God has done it". So, for the guy who is operating in trust, he will say,"i know my redeemer lives ; He will not disappoint me" and that's great. But the guy who is operating in faith will say,"i thank you Father, for you have answered my prayer and have granted me everything my heart desires. Amen."

So , if what you desire is a 'now -change" in your situation, then you have to convert your " trust into :faith". You must move from believing that God will answer you some day to acting on the Word Now! Make a demand, believing that you've received what you asked for. Trust has no time-limit and you can reap the benefits of trust for as long as you live, even to generations after you. But faith is a -possessor.God bless you. 2Corinthians1:9-10 and Hebrew11:1

THERE IS NO HOPELESS CASE!

2009-03-21T07:06:00.000-07:00

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible''Matthew 19:26

A hope case could be described as a state of despair; when man's final conclusion says, It is incurable, irreparable, inconsolable or irrevocable.''It's a situation when you don't know the next move that could change the situation, because the confines of human ability, nothing can possibly solve the problem. The truth, however is, there is no hopeless case case with the Christian filled the Holy ghost,because as a Child of God, You have received power, the dynamic ability to cause changes.You have authority; you are an overcomer in this life; you are more than a conqueror, a victor in Christ Jesus!

Hopelessness is really a state of mind. But when you put your trust in God and established it your heart that no tribulation, distress, persecution,famine, nakedness, peril or sword can separate you from the love of God(Romans8:35), No matter the situation you find yourself, you will not feel confused, helpless and hopeless. Whatever you go through in life, you know you are not alone; you know your father will not fold His hands and watch you frustrated. He covers you His shield, so you can be assured in Him and be persuaded that"...neither death nor life, angels, nor principalities, nor power, nor things present nor things to come, height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate us (You) from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our lord"( Romans8:38-39)

You serve a God with whom all things are possible. That is why you can seat back and stop worrying. Worry stops you from receiving. It make God's word void of power. If you want a change in situation, quit worrying and start dwelling on God's ability. Simply take the problem to Him, and permit Him to change things on your behalf. Your part however is to maintain the right confession and attitude.

Make up your mind today never to allow a problem weigh you down.Rather than look at the problem, focus on the solution. Look at Jesus, look to the word, the author and the finisher of your faith. Study Matthew 17:20, Mark9 :17-27.

CHRISTIAN MINISTRY

2009-03-20T08:57:00.000-07:00

Text Roman 12:1-13

As a Christians we should present ourselves as a living sacrifices to God. We live for God and also in Him as ambassador of Christ here on earth, therefore we should conduct ourselves the way that is befitting to our heavenly kingdom.

In that kingdom the love of Christ is shared abroad in our heart by the Holy Ghost and separated us from the world. Roman5:5. This love is called ''AGAPE'' self giving and does not take account of wrong doing. In Ephesians 4:1-3, Apostle Paul Admonished us to live and act in a way worthy of those who have been chosen for such a wonderful blessing as these; Be humble and gentle; Be patient with each other, making allowance for each others faults because of your love. In verse 3 of Ephesian 4, he said we should maintain the unity of Spirit. What does he mean by the unity of the Spirit, It means, all Christians should come to the level where they speak the same thing, and that there should not be division among us , but that there should be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in judgment , to have have one drive and one purpose, 1corinthians 1:10.

That's to should take God's tangible presence to the nations and people of the world and demonstrating the character of the Spirit, Mark 16:15-18 , 11corinthians 5:17-21. The Unity of the Spirit gives rise to Unity of faith. The unity of the Spirit which is yet to happen in the CHRISTENDOM.That is way when ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to mankind.
In Ephesians 4:11-12 He apostle, some prophets, some evangelist, some pastors and teachers for perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry and for the edifying of the body of Christ,in verse 13 of the same Chapter, he said till we all comes to the UNITY OF FAITH and of the knowledge of the statue of the fullness of Christ.Christian Ministry is given to prepare us for the fullness of Christ. To be continue...

ATTITUDE

2009-03-16T05:36:00.000-07:00

Text John 3

There 're certain things that defines your personality, things that defines your fulfillment and your value.Your attitude is very important. Attitude is the only way to altitude, your way of doing things, your way of saying what you want to say. You can say something that is right with a wrong attitude and that destroy the right thing that you said. A lot of people in life are not necessarily doing something wrong; they just have a bad attitude, a wrong attitude.A lot of time we hear wrongly not because what was said was wrong but because we have wrong attitude in listening. Do you know this is one of the reason some people have defined themselves as taking one step forward and two step backwards. A lot of time everything seem to be alright but spiritually they are not fulfilled because they have a wrong attitude. A lot of time people with such attitude hardly discover that they have a wrong attitude. So they blame everyone else for the things that go wrong about them, they think someone else is responsible and the truth is no one is responsible, they just have a bad attitude.

Your attitude can define your personality, it can define your fulfillment, there are people who are not fulfilled at home, in their family. and always it looks like they are in the wrong house. You see they have got a wrong attitude they don't realize it, but they think everyone else is their problem. Sometimes at work, do you know there are multitude of people having exodus, they journey from company to company, from one organization to the other, they just can not be somewhere why? they have got a wrong attitude but they don't know it. They always see their wasted years and wasted time. Always they feel that there was someone else who didn't discover their greatness.

You see they know they are valuable but why can't anybody else fine their value? Cause chances are they've got a wrong attitude. There's so much to learn from Jesus. Many time in your life when you want to make progress,fine out about the master attitude and fine out about those whom Jesus praised. Why did he praised the one he praised? Go through the old Testament and fine out those he praised. Why did he praised them, what was peculiar to them, what was in their attitude Or in their character that was so impressive to God? In the New Testament one of the character that drew my attention was John the Baptist. Luke 7:28

Jesus said "of all men born of women there is no greater than John the Baptist"That's powerful.Jesus said John the baptist was greater than them all.Matthew 11:7-11

Notice that he did not say the least in the kingdom of God;rather he said the least in the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of heaven is that which Jesus has come to establish here on earth.Jesus is the head of the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of heaven is actually here on earth. The kingdom of God is in heaven and papa God is the boss of that one and he sent Jesus to establish the kingdom of heaven in earth and that is the kingdom we are a part of, that kingdom took off after his death, burial and resurrection.So its actually the church of the New Testament that's functioning in the earth, so that means, he's talking about those who are joint heirs with Christ.He's talking about us in the New Testament. The only reason he says we are greater is because we are the body of Christ and each one of us has been exalted to that place when we are seated together in Christ. So it's not just something about us as a people but as the body of Christ. Amen.

Notice how Jesus commended John. John3:22
There was controversy about baptism. There was a question about immersion, about deeping into water. In bible days, they had that problem about purifying or washing.So they fine John deeping people into the water and Jesus comes on the scene and was doing the same thing John3:26

In other words it was like they were stealing John's show. What did John say? who is that guy? Or don't mind him am bigger than him? Is that what he said? John3:27
What an answer! We are trying to find out John's attitude.What kind of man was he? I want to remind you that he did not know Jesus as good as we do. The man was spoken to by the spirit of God, like he would talk to anyone of us.He knew Jesus by prophetic revelation, so he would have been in competition with Jesus, he could have been upset or he would have said am the one Baptizing here, am the baptist! but he didn't do that! John 3:27-29

CONCLUSION

Your attitude can define your fulfillment in life. they are people who are not fulfilled not because things have gone bad but because they have a bad attitude.To be continue....

THE POWER OF MEDITATION 2

2009-03-05T04:33:00.000-08:00

THE POWER OF MEDITATION 2

(Josual1v8 Psalm 1v2-3, 1Timothy4v15-16)

Meditation means to ponder,think deeply or roar on something.
As a child of God, you must take quality time to meditate on God's word daily, as you do, you will receive revelation knowledge of how to make your way prosperous and be a success in life.
When you ponder on the word long enough, it will change your mindset and give you the right words because the Bible says out of the abundant of the heart the mouth speaks, matt. 12v34.

The apostle Paul admonished on what to think on in Phil.4v8, "whatsoever is true,pure,lovely and of good report are the ingredients of God's word which you must allow to dwell from the bases of you thought so that the result can be evident for all to see.I remember when my brother called me on phone that his wife could not get pregnant after some years in marriage and they have gone through series of medical examinations. but to no avail. I gave her some scriptures to ponder upon and for her to confessed to herself and family continually.After a couple of days she went back to her doctor for a check up and the result was positive.Right now, she's carrying her twin babies, glory to God , the word works...

Meditating on the word makes you recognize who you are in Christ and what you have in Him. Meditation is what bring out of your mouth the word of God you have stored in your spirit, it unveil the power of God's word in your life and causes it to produce the desire results. If you have unpleasant situation that you will like to change, just get to the word of God that dealt on that issue and meditate on that scripture and say it to the situation, act as if you have received it and testify about your miracle,before long that circumstance will give way to God's word and you will have a miracle.

The word of God has the ability to produce in you the things it talks about and the capability to build you up and give you an inheritance.Act 20 v32.

POWER OF MEDITATION

2009-02-17T10:48:00.000-08:00

Not until you meditate on the word and personalized it, you will not the effect and the glory in your life(Joshua 1v8-9) (2 Cor3v18)Because we are a spirit being and words are spirit and lift and have force of attraction.We do not get the joy of anything from complainning, complainning the satisfaction of winning.In us there is an ability to resist and in the devil there inability to stand resistance. God's word is not for testing but for trusting....

THE WORD BECAME FLESH

2009-02-17T06:45:00.000-08:00

Brethren, the Bible made us to understand that,In the beginning God created man with His own image and likeness and He gave man dominion over all His creatures but man lost this authority and previledges(Gen1v26-27) (Gen2v15).Then God sort ways over time to bring man back to his former glory through commandments but this didn't work with world of man because the commandments were spiritual but man were canal,could not undersood spiritual things.Then God was moved with love for mankind, He sent forth His word to the world of man but they rejected Him but this word became Flesh and came to His own but they did not receive Him but as many that received Him to them He gave the power and authority to become the sons of God even to them that believe in His name, Jesus .(Jn.1)This word of God came not to condem the world but through Him the world might be saved. (Jn.3V16)...This salvation is all encompassing:devine health, prosperity,peace, fulfilment and so on, and all the good things of life are included in the package.(3jn.1)
