Bible Alive

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” 2Tim 3:16

I had just read the scripture to our congregation last Sunday when I asked how many of them have heard God in the recent times. Nobody raised his hand. I discovered that people are waiting for God to speak to them audibly before they can be assured that God is talking to them. The people of God will begin to see the greatest breakthrough of their lives if they will take the Bible as God speaking to them. Faith has no root unless God has spoken. But the truth is that you can always know what God is saying by going to your Bible. When you take what you have read in the Bible as God speaking and you act on it, you will see the supernatural acts of God.

I read one testimony about ArchBishop Benson Idahosa of blessed memory when he was an ordinary church member. His Pastor read and preached from Mathew 10:8 that Jesus commanded his disciples to raise the dead among other things He commanded them to do. He asked his Pastor whether he had raised a dead person before and the Pastor said No; he asked whether he could do it and the Pastor said Yes. Acting on this scripture, he started looking for a dead person to bring back to life. He eventually got one and through prayer based on the written word of God, the dead was brought back to life.
Beloved, do you want to hear God? Then take your Bible and see God talking to you.
You are saved to do great exploit!

How to Knock Out Your Trouble!

“And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Mathew 17:20

Have you ever noticed that no matter how big a problem is in the Bible God always proffer little solution just like a mustard seed faith to move a mountain of trouble? God’s answer to man’s problem is always the often neglected or seemingly foolish measure. It was a rod that parted the red sea for the Israelites to pass on the dry land. David killed the giant Goliath with a sling and a stone. It was a little oil that saved a Prophet’s widow from the creditors. It was only seven times bath in the Jordan River that healed Naman’s leprosy. A touch delivered the woman with the issue of blood from twelve years old trouble. A word from the Lord was what delivered Peter from all nights struggle. The friends of the bridegroom at the marriage in Cana of Galilee had to fetch water to save him from the reproach of the finished wine.

Are you presently facing a trouble? I don’t care how long it has been but I care to announce to you that you can knock it out! All you need is an instruction, a word from the Lord. Let me tell you how to get this: Don’t be afraid but worship God, give Him praise and thank Him; speak to the trouble and then ask God for a specific instruction on the issue. Keep on doing these with confidence and expectation until you seethe result.

You will not be disappointed; for your shame you shall have double in Jesus name.

A Must to Have

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Daniel 11:32

Two things are common to both Joseph and Daniel. One of these is that both of them became leaders in a strange land where they entered as Slaves. The other is that both of them could not do without God. Both of them had such a relationship with God that they heard what others could not hear, knew what others could not know, had insights that were not available to others and so they became rulers in strange lands. Joseph would not trade his relationship with God for anything not even for a sinful relationship with his master’s wife. He knew that if God was with him, he would survive any situation. Daniel’s life also proved to us that a man that has God cannot be eaten by Lions no matter how hungry they are.

Beloved, God is a must to have for us to rule in this world today. We must get to the level where we won’t give up our relationship with God for anything in this world. This is the level at which we can get the best from God for our destinies and for people around us.

Separate time to know God because grace and mercy flow towards a man who has the knowledge of God through Jesus Christ. “For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.” Psalm 107:9

Higher Level of prayer

“Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” Job 22:28

One level of prayer is when you pray the word of God which is the will of God. 1 John 5:14-15 says “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”

Beloved, there is another level of prayer which I call a higher level. It is the level where God wants all His children to operate. It is the level when you decree and it is established. This was the level Elijah operated when he told King Ahab “As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.” 1Kings 17:1. This was the level Peter operated when he told the lame man at the beautiful gate “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” Acts 3:6. At this level you ask for what you will and it is done. I am happy to tell you that you can operate at this level of prayer.

John 15:7 says “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” The Bible says for this to happen, you must abide in Jesus and His word must abide in you. Beloved, when you stay in God’s presence long enough and you meditate on His word long enough, you will attain a level whereby your will and God’s will are the same and whatever you decree will be established. The truth is that at this point you operate at the same level as God (mathematically speaking if A¢B and B¢A then A=B) John 10:35 says “If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;” Elijah stood long enough before God and he could tell the king that only what he said would determine what happened in the nation of Israel. You too can do it.

If things have not been working the way you expect in your life, don’t panic! Begin to spend time with God and His word, then you will become a “god” over the situation that is harassing you.

It is well.
(for further study on this meditate on Job 22:21-28; John 15:1-8)

Your Key Into Kingdom Treasure

“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Mathew 16:17-18.

Your access to kingdom treasure is revelation. The kingdom is full of joy, righteousness, peace, wealth, health and power. You don’t get these by your own wisdom or by the wisdom of this world. You don’t get these by cheating, stealing or maneuvering of any kind. Whenever you get a revelation and act on it, your level changes.

God’s intention is that the Church will have dominion on earth by revelation; that we would have access to His Kingdom treasure on earth by revelation of His word. But the truth is that revelation is not found on the surface, it is sought out as a man would dig gold or precious stone from the earth. You must spend time with God to access this revelation. Your attendance of Sunday service and weekly service is not enough. You say Pastor but I am very busy; beloved no matter how busy you are, you can begin to see the benefit of spending extra time with God in your business, career, family and destiny. You are more than what you are now and revelation is the key that will take you to where you should be.

I ask God to make these last three months in 2008 the best for you in this year in Jesus name.
