It is common to all

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it”  1 Samuel 11:9

Everyone goes through one challenge or the other, but the good news is that you do not have to be overcome by the challenges of life. There is always a way to escape. There is always a way to victory. The most important thing in life is to always find this way. If you have found Jesus, you have found the way (John 14:6). Jesus can show or tell you what you need to know to overcome all challenges (Matthew 7:24-25).

“The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.” Ecc 10:15

“And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.” 2 Kings 2:10

Most challenges in life can be described in one word: ignorance. Any time there is a challenge, it is a call to know. There is something you don’t know that needs to be known. You can pray a simple prayer like this, “Lord show me what to do to overcome this challenge.” The answer to both the common and uncommon challenges of life is to find out what to do. Some challenges required unique actions. The situation you considered as hard can be solved if you know what you should know. May you know what to do to handle your financial challenges in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, lead me by the way of victory over all challenges of life in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Help is coming

“…To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help…..:”  1 Samuel 11:9

Are you in a position that if you don’t receive help, shame is inevitable? I have a word from the Lord for you: You shall not be put to shame, help is coming. You may not see rain, you may not see the wind, but there will be divine provision. The enemy shall not overcome you. The battle shall not overcome you. The Lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace. God will make a way for you where there is no way. What has been withheld from you shall be released. This situation shall turn to a testimony for you in Jesus name.

“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2

““Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10

In our text for this morning, Nahash came against the people of Jabesh Gilead. He knew he was stronger than them. The people were willing to serve him but he decided he was going to put them to shame. He wanted to make the whole city one-eyed people by removing their right eyes. The people were going to agree if they could not get help. But, Saul anointed of the Lord sent a message to them that help was coming and they were helped. Now listen to this, you are going to stop worrying right now and receive this prophetic word. You are going to worship God and thank him because your help will come. You are going to declare that you receive the needed help in the name of Jesus.

Prayer for today: Oh God, I receive help right now for this situation in the name of Jesus.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

The prophetic word 2

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:” 2 Peter 1:19

The prophetic word is important to both individuals and nations for divine solutions and interventions. Unfortunately, the enemy is hiding in this area to bring falsehood and bondage to people. You don’t seek the prophetic word, you seek God. God can choose to give you a prophetic word directly or send an individual to you.  Many are calling themselves prophets today because they think it is lucrative. Some of them engage strange spirits to bring words to people. You would not be a victim if your heart goes after God and not any manifestation.

“And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:” Acts 16:16

“And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:” Acts 13:6

This falsehood had been since the bible days. Soothsayers, sorcerers, and such who used the spirit of divination to bring words to people in the name of a prophetic word. As a defense against such agents of the devil, you need three things. The first is that you need to give attention to the written word of God. Secondly, make fellowship with God your priority, both congregational fellowship and personal fellowship with God. Lastly, never be in a hurry when seeking God, faith and patience are needed (Isaiah 28,16, Heb 6:12). I see God bringing a change to every unwanted situation in your life in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God deliver me from deceptions and deceivers in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

The prophetic word 1

“Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.” Ezekiel 37:4

If you have a word from the Lord, then you have a prophetic word. A prophetic word is not your idea, it is God’s idea in sound or understandable form. You must position yourself to access this word. A prophetic word can come as instruction for you. It can also come as a declaration on a situation or enemy confronting you. It is your guarantee to turn situations around. It is your guarantee to handle the challenges of life.

“So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.” Ezekiel 37:7

“And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.” 2 kings 5:10

Maybe you have been praying and studying the word about a situation. The answer can come as a prophetic word. When such a word comes to you, you must believe it and receive it. When Ezekiel declared the prophetic word on the dried bone, they responded. Naaman became well from his leprosy when he acted on the prophetic word he received through Elisha. May you receive a word from the Lord today that will terminate your unwanted situation in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: I declare according to the word of the Lord that my warfare is accomplished in Jesus name (Isaiah 40:2)

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Clean your house

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” John 14:30

Satan was looking for something in Jesus that would permit him to come in and hinder the work of our salvation but he found nothing.  Don’t keep anything that belongs to satan with you if you want to enjoy your Christian life. Whether in the house you are living or in your body, don’t permit any property of satan. If satan finds his property anywhere, he will come in and work there. And I tell you his work is not good. The bible says, he steals, kills and destroys.

“And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.  And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:  And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.” John 2:13-16

Jesus dealt with the sellers of oxen, sheep, and doves and the changers of the money in the temple with a scourge to restore the dignity of the temple. He drove them out with notable zeal. This is because when unwanted guests are welcome in a place, they change the outlook and effects of the place. Don’t permit the work of the flesh, fear, unbelief, hatred, lies, fornication, and such in your life. They are the properties of the devil but your body is the house of God. Please clean your house. May the power of the blood of Jesus sanitize your body. May satan and his cohorts never find a place in your life in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God purify me like a gold, so that I might be bold to declare my boy as your house in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

All things are possible

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Mark 9:23

Beloved, you must have the mentality that all things are possible if you really want to see positive changes in your life and make an impact with your life. You can always go from where you are to where you want to be if you believe. Never throw away any idea because you think it is impossible. If you do, you will never forgive yourself when you see another person making happen what you have thought was impossible.

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13

 “And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

You may truly find yourself in a position that looks impossible. Can I shock you? The fact that it looks impossible does not make it impossible. You only need to work on yourself until you believe that it is possible. One way to do this is to spend time with God. This is because God can give you strength and surely all things are possible with Him. You can also spend time meditating on the relevant scriptures or reading books that will help you to believe. May you receive the change you desire right now in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God take me from where I am to where I am supposed to be in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Don’t look back 2

“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19

Your best is in front of you, don’t look back. What you have behind you is not your best. Whether good or bad, best or worst, yesterday is gone, don’t stay there. Get ready for a new experience of God’s faithfulness. Even if yesterday was discouraging, encourage yourself in the Lord because your future is bright. You have to look forward to go forward. You cannot keep looking back and go forward.

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2

 “And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.” Genesis 41:41

If you do not have a vision of a glorious future, ask God for one now. This was what kept Joseph going. Although his brothers took his cloth of many colors and Potiphar’s wife took the cloth that Potiphar gave him, he did not look back. He kept on looking at the future that God showed him, and eventually he got there. I see God doing marvelous things in your life in the remaining weeks of this year in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God release me from my past, and lead me into a glorious future in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Don’t look back 1

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

When you have decided on your destination, do not look back until you get there. Go for your goal with all your heart and your strength. If you keep looking back, you will soon find a way to go there. If you keep on looking for a reason why you should quit, you will soon find one. Discouragement may come in the way, encourage yourself, and cry unto God to help you. Nevertheless, never look back, the trophy is in front of you.

“And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.” Hebrews 11:15

“But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” Genesis 19:26

The direction of your “looking” has the power to tell your mind what it should do because your eyes are a major gate to your mind. Whatever has entered your mind has entered your life. If you keep your eyes on the goal, your mind will create the path to get you there. That is why you should not look back. Jesus said no one that looks back is fit to get to the destination.

May you find the winning path to your destination in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God help me to turn things around for good before the end of this year in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

When God has released, but man has not received

“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.” Daniel 10:13

A man of God said something that got me thinking. He said is it that God has not given her a child or she has not given birth to a child. I sought the scriptures and I discovered that it is possible for God to have given something, and for one reason or the other, the man has not received it. So how do you deal with the issue if God has released something to you and yet you have not received?

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;” Luke 18:1

“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:” 1 John 5:14

Daniel sought the Lord on a matter that was clearly a will of God. He had to continue in prayer for twenty-one days for a matter that God has released an answer the first day.  Why? The devil was preventing the answer from getting to him. If he had given up in prayer, he would never have received what God has given to him. Beloved, if you are sure it is the will of God, break the power of the devil over it and claim your answer in Jesus name. Do it until you receive what God has given you. I break the power of the devil over what belongs to you in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: I claim and receive what God has given to me in the name of Jesus.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Ministry of fire 3

“And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.” Hebrews 1:7

When you have an encounter with fire, you become a minister of fire. This experience is a must for a relevant ministry in such a time like this. People are experiencing various kinds of problems and they need solutions. Some go to all manner of places because they are looking for solutions. We must become a flame of fire that God intends us to be so that the need of people could be met. Until Peter became a minister of fire, he was even afraid to testify of Jesus before a young lady.

“Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.” Matthew 26:69-70

“But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:19-20

If you are a Christian, get ready to become a flame of fire. There are three kinds of flames, they are red, blue, and white flames. The type of flame is determined by the fuel source and its purity. The white flame is the strongest and it is obtained from the purest gases. The red flame is the weakest and it is obtained from an impure source like wood. Ask God to purify you and make you worthy to be a white flame of fire.

Prayer for today: Oh God, make me a flame of fire in the name of Jesus.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Ministry of fire 2

“And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness:” Malachi 3:3

The ministry of fire is needed to expose the precious gifts in you and to make your body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable in the sight of God. You agree with me that raw gold is not attractive because of the debris. But, when it passes through the fire, it becomes invaluable.  Many of us just need the ministry of fire to become who God wants us to be. The entanglement of sin and this world has been preventing many glorious destinies from manifesting. The ministry of fire is needed to bring us out.

 “Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:12

“He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” Daniel 3:25

When God is using the fire on us it is to our advantage. When the enemy prepared the fire for the three Hebrews boy, he was expecting them to be consumed. The breadth of the fire indeed consumed the giants that threw them inside the fire. But when God got involved, the fire destroyed their chains and brought them into an unusual fellowship with Jesus. Only the chaff was dealt with as stated in Matthew 3, the wheat stood strong. May you experience the ministry of fire today for deliverance and to live as the righteousness of God in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, let me experience the ministry of Your fire in every area of my life in the name of Jesus.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Ministry of fire 1

“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:” Matthew 3:11

One major reason why Jesus came is to baptize us with the Holy Ghost and with fire. The ministry of fire is very important in our Christian lives for many reasons. Let me mention three of them. The first is our deliverance from the power of darkness, the second is our healing from any form of affliction and the third is our empowerment to help and minister to others. You as a Christian must carry the fire.

 “For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:29

“And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.” Acts 2:3

You should not only carry fire, but you must also  be fire yourself. You know why? Because God the father is a consuming fire, God the Son came to send fire, and God the Holy Spirit manifested as fire. You must be like your father and become a fire. If this happens to you, it will be impossible for any demon to hide in your body. You will become untouchable for the power of darkness. And you will become a useful instrument for the deliverance of others.

Prayer for today: Oh God, turn me to fire in the name of Jesus.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Faith in the name of Jesus 3

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” Proverbs 18:10

There is no better time that a man needs safety than now. Many things threaten our lives and existence. Is it the activities of both physically and spiritually wicked men, or the attack of unseen viruses and bacteria like COVID19? I am glad to announce to you that faith in the name of Jesus can create a strong tower of safety for your life in the midst of life’s seen and unseen attacks. When you invoke the name, not only will you be protected but the enemy will also be defeated.

“I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” Psalms 91:2

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Luke 10:19

It does not matter who and what threatens your safety, through the name of Jesus, they can be dealt with. Are the lions, serpents, and scorpions of this world against you? Use the name of Jesus to paralyze and subdue them. Can you imagine being pursued by an enemy and then running safely into a strong tower? The name of Jesus is a mobile strong tower that you immediately find yourself in, anytime and anywhere you call on the name.  May you experience the power of safety and protection in the name of Jesus.

Prayer for today: I bind the forces that are against my safety in the name of Jesus.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Faith in the name of Jesus 2

“And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.” John 16:23

Faith in the name of Jesus is all that you need to access all of God. Divine intervention, supernatural manifestation, usual and unusual testimonies, miraculous healing, supernatural provision, deliverance, salvation, change of story, and much more are made available to you through faith in the name of Jesus. Whenever you go to God in the name of Jesus, you cannot be turned down.

“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” Rev 5:5

“Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” Acts 3:6

Let me show you a mystery: the name of Jesus became the key because Jesus prevailed to loose the seven seals. Not only that, he prevailed to grant all believers direct access to the throne of grace to obtain mercy. He obtained all by humility and the death on the cross. You cannot get that anywhere else. As a Christian, you must know this and appropriate it. I am sorry for unbelievers and people that have gone after other gods. I declare your miracle right now in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God manifest in my life right now in the name of Jesus.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Faith in the name of Jesus 1

“And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all:” Acts 3:16

All believers in Christ have been given the name of Jesus as a weapon of victory in this life and as a key to spiritual authority. Faith in the name of Jesus is enough to change things in your life and the lives of others. This is the strongest name on earth and in heaven. The powers of darkness cannot withstand the name neither can any authorities on earth. Sickness, diseases, poverty, failure, and even death bow at the mention of the name. Whenever you use this name, you are giving glory to God the Father.

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;” Mark 16:17

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11

You can address the mountains, the storms, the giants, demons, and situations in the name of Jesus, and they are compelled to obey you. The secret is this, when you make a statement in the name of Jesus according to the word of God heavens back you up. You really have a weapon that cannot fail. I decree that every unwanted situation in your life should crumble in the name of Jesus.

Prayer for today: I decree in the name of Jesus that things are changing for my favor.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

The mind of Christ

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:” Philippians  2:5

 The kind of mind that stays on top of all things in life is the mind of Christ. As a child of God, this is your mind. The mind that produces abundance in the midst of scarcity. The mind that produces victory in the midst of defeat. The mind that produces sound health in the midst of health challenges. The mind that produces success in the midst of failure. The mind that turns things around.  I don’t know what you are going through right now, but I care to tell you that you have the mind of Christ to turn things around.

 “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.” Proverbs 23:7

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2

If you do not want to conform to the failure of this world, you must activate the mind of Christ in you. Beloved, it does not matter how difficult this situation is, the mind of Christ in you has the solution. You remember when there were 5000 men to be fed, the bible says, Jesus knew what He would do. I decree that you will know what you will do right now in Jesus name. The mind of Christ is working in you in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Lord Jesus, let your mind be in me.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Let us follow Jesus

“And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19

Why are many claiming to be believers in Christ or Christians when it is obvious that they do not follow Jesus? Many want Jesus’ miracles, but they do not want His lifestyle. You must ask yourself what changed in your life, since you claimed to be a believer.  Are you really following Christ? Can people follow you and their lives change? Are you a disciple of Jesus Christ? This is important because you cannot follow Christ and remain the same. Everyone who follows Him, He makes into something better, fit for the kingdom of God and for His use.

“Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:1

“And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.” Matthew 25:33

It is important for us to submit to teaching and training that will make us Disciples of Christ. This is the only way we can become His sheep and cease to be goats. Do not let us deceive ourselves, we cannot live our lives anyhow because we claim to be Christians and Jesus has paid it all. We must follow Him who paid the price, saved us from sins, and gave us the Holy Ghost.

Prayer for today: Lord Jesus, make me what you want me to be.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Intimacy with God 2

“Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;” John 10:34-35

There is an adage from my tribe, which says when a leave stays long on a soap, it becomes soap. This is also true in spiritual matters. If you want to think, speak, and act as God, intimacy with Him is the key. You may actually be struggling with life because you have not attained the revelation that will sustain your destiny. You may also think that you are doing well while you are far below the divine target for your life. Intimacy with God will bring you to the fullness of God for your life and destiny.

“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” John 5:30

“And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto 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.” 1 Kings 17:1

This is the key to life-changing experience you desire. You don’t have to die unsung and unfulfilled no matter your current age. God wants to use you no matter your chosen profession. You only need to become intimate with God to begin to see different results in your life.  Jesus could not do without intimacy with God. Elijah after spending time with God could declare the course of nature. Can you reduce the time you spend on social media and physically with people? Can you begin to spend quality time with God? May God breathe on you today in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, take me into Your bosom by Your Holy Spirit in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Intimacy with God 1

“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.” Acts 4:13

The choice for an intimate relationship with God is a must if you want to be a victorious Christian in this challenging world. You will surely be confronted by sin, mountains, unbelief, doubt, and obstacles, but you will always win if you have an intimate relationship with God. One great breakthrough that the finished work of Christ brought to us is unhindered access to the Person, Power, and the Wisdom of God. Any so-called Christian who refuses to take the advantage of this in the name of the busy world is a fool.

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

“As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?” Psalms 42:1-2

Can you just neglect your present challenges for a while and come into the presence of God in worship, prayer, and meditation on the word? Can you make a concrete daily investment in spending time with God? If a Governor invites you to his house what will you do? I believe you will be there on time and expect some of your financial or business needs to be met. The God of heaven and earth is inviting you into His presence. Take this opportunity if you want to ride on the storm of life and see glory in the midst of life’s difficulties.

Prayer for today: Oh God, make me to hungry for an intimate relationship with You in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

Lord I believe

“And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Mark 9:24

Say it over and over again, Lord I believe. It does not matter how impossible the situation is, say it loud, Lord, I believe. Even if the situation looks so hard that unbelief is gripping you, say it loud and repeatedly, Lord I believe. You know why you only need to believe to receive a breakthrough. God’s word and promises are yes and amen. He will never fail you if you would only believe. I see God giving you an unusual breakthrough this week in Jesus name.

 “As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.” Mark 5:36

“Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” John 11:40

I don’t know what situation is causing you to doubt or making believing a mountain for you. Is it like the man in our text whose son was taken over by a strange spirit that made him dumb? Or like the Lazarus who had been dead for four days. No matter the case, God has an answer for you. Only believe. Do two things this morning. First, appreciate God for giving you a solution. Then declare, I believe, I receive………. Fill in what you want God to do for you.

Prayer for today: Oh Lord, help my unbelief, I believe I receive my miracle right now in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

The hearing gate…the life gate 3

“Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.” Jeremiah 18:2

When you come to an understanding of what you are hearing, your life can never be the same again. This statement applies to whatever you are hearing, whether good or bad. Now if you have identified a message that your life needs, cultivate the habit of hearing it over and again until you understand it. Then you will receive the fruit of the message, the result you desired. If you don’t have messages you are listening to, or books you are reading (including the Bible), you may not see changes in your life.

 “God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.” Psalms 62:1

“That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” Mark 4:11

This is one of the mysteries of solving life’s problems, the hearing gates. If you know how to use this gate, you can have the wisdom to solve the problems confronting your life, both physical and spiritual. Most people are stranded in life because they do not know what to do. What you deliberately listen to can change that. If you have identified the area of challenge in your life, get messages on it, and listen to it repeatedly. May you receive an understanding to deal with your mountains in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, take me into the potter’s house that I may hear Your word in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

The hearing gate…the life gate 2

“That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” Mark 4:11

Our lives are connected to what we are hearing. Hearing precedes understanding. You must hear correctly and understanding if you really desire a change in your life. It is your responsibility to position yourself where the voices and the sounds you need are present. It is also very important that what you are hearing is not in parables.

“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:” Matthew 7:24

“Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?” 1 kings 3:9

There is nothing you cannot obtain in this life, if you hear what you should hear, understand it and do it. Your guaranty against all storms of life is to hear the sayings of Jesus correctly, understand it and do it. Words that are important to your life and destiny must not come in parables. When you go to church and sleep during the message or you are busy with social media, I am sorry for you. The best thing that can happen to you in any service is to hear what you need to hear with understanding. May God give you the Spirit of wisdom and understanding in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, open my ear to hear, and to understand words that will change my story in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.

The hearing gate…the life gate 1

“Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.” Luke 8:18

What are you hearing? When you are down you need words that will lift you up. When you are discouraged, you need words that will encourage you. When you are succeeding, you need words that will keep you going. When you make mistakes, you need words that will correct you. When you want to go higher, you need words that will instruct you. The results of your life depend on what you are hearing.

“To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” John 10:3

“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 11:15

You are responsible for what you open your ear to hear. If you have identified the needs in your life, you must understand that the needs can be fulfilled by hearing the right words. You must consciously search for the words that meet your needs.  Search the scriptures, listen to messages, and read books that bring the right words into your hear. May you hear the words for the season in Jesus name.

I see God bringing a change to your situation right now in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God  let your word come to me for this season in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.
