The guide for a change

“Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.”  Deuteronomy 29:4

The beginning of a real change in your life is when you start to perceive differently, see differently, and hear differently. This is what will motivate you to do things differently and experience a different result in your life. If it seems that the change you desire is not manifesting, you can ask God to give you a heart to perceive, eyes to see and ears to hear.

“And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 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 4:11-12

“And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.” 2 kings 4:9

Moses was the guide to the people of Israel for many years, he was their perception, their eyes, and their ears. He led them out of bondage, and they made progress towards the promised land. But a time came when they needed this guide to be imparted to them by God. Jesus talking to the disciples, said that the reason why people do not experience change is that they could not perceive, see, hear, or understand. This is because if this guide is in place, they will know exactly what to do. I pray that the guide God has placed within you be activated for the change you desire in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, give you a heart to perceive, eyes to see and ears to hear 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.

What do you expect?

“And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.”  Mark 10:51

If you don’t know what you want, you will not recognize it when you see it.  It is important for you to define clearly your expectation. Your expectation gives your energy direction. Your expectation gives your prayer direction. Expectation proceeds manifestation. Never limit your expectation if you believe God. Expect the impossible to become possible. Expect hard things to be done without stress. Expect to receive from God what will change your life forever.

“And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. 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 3:5-6

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” Ephesians 3:20

When you expect something and go in the direction of God, you will always get more than what you expect. When you align your expectation with His will for your life, you provoke the release of His power. Bartimaeus wanted his sight back, he put his whole energy in to get Jesus’ attention. Zacchaeus only wanted to see Jesus, he climbed a tree to see Jesus, but Jesus went home with him. The lame man at the beautiful gate got more than silver and gold, he got a miracle that would ensure he never had to beg again. May God exceed your expectation in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God arise and meet me at the point of my needs 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 only fight you must fight

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”  1 Timothy 6:12

The only fight we have been encouraged to fight is the faith fight. The bible calls it a good fight of faith. This is the only fight you need to fight to inherit the promise. It is the fight that takes you into the supernatural and secure divine intervention in all areas of your life. This is the only fight satan will not want you to fight because he knows that your victory is guaranteed if you do the fight (1 John 5:4).

“That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:12

“And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:7-8

This is the fight you need when the manifestation of the promises of God seems delayed. It is the fight you need when your condition is contrary to what God has spoken. It is the fight you need when the storm is raging and it seems you have been swallowed. This is the fight you need when it seems that your expectation is being dashed. You must keep on declaring the promises even in the face of opposition. You must keep on pressing in prayer even when the situation seems adamant. You must keep on acting on God’s word even when it seems it is not working. And suddenly you will see the change you desire. This is the fight of faith. The fight you cannot lose if you do the fighting.

Prayer for today: I receive my change by fire 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.

How to win without fighting 5

“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

Another mystery of winning without fighting is “Only believe.” God does the fighting for believers (Exodus 14:14). All things are possible for those who believe (Mark 9:23). Those who believe always receive what they ask for (Mark 11:24). I have given a lot of verses in this devotion today, please go through them. Jesus said to Thomas in John 20:27, “Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.” When you reach out to God’s word, you kill unbelief (Rom 10:17).

“And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.” 2 Chronicle 20:15

“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.” Acts 16:25-26

Let share with you few things that believers do. They do not worry about anything (Phi 4:6). They give thanks in every situation (1 Thess 5:18). They pray about everything (Luke 18:1). They give God praise no matter what has come against them (Act 16:25). They obey God in all things (Acts 5:29). They fast often (Mathew 17:21). They meditate on God’s word (Joshua 1:8). They give sacrificially (Psalm 50:5). They receive the supernatural of God (Mark 16:18). They receive divine intervention (Acts 28:3-6). May you receive God’s kind of faith to walk in the supernatural in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God arise and fight my battles for me 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.

How to win without fighting 4

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you..”  1 Peter 5:6-7

Another mystery of winning without fighting is humility. If you humble yourself before God, He will always fight for you.  Humility indicates total dependence on God and His instructions for your life. It means making decisions based on God’s will for your life. Some people are too proud to be helped by God. They have their own mind on everything and God cannot change it. Such will always have to do their own fighting by themselves.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land..” 2 Chronicle 7:14

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6

It is possible to be skillful, talented, and strong, and yet fail in life. However, you cannot have God and fail. No man prevails by strength. Humility will propel you to seek for all of God. In the life of Jesus as a man on earth, we see all of God at work in Him because of humility (Philippians 2:5-8; John 5:30). Maybe you have been facing long term battles from unknown or known sources, humble yourself before God, tell Him that you cannot fight on your own, and ask Him to take over the battle. He will do the fighting beyond your expectation. May God fight for you always in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God give me rest in this turbulent world 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.

How to win without fighting 3

“He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.”  Psalms 105:15-16

Get anointed and stay anointed. This is the third mystery of winning without fighting. The anointing is one of God’s seals of ownership on His children. When you become anointed, God Himself deals with your battles.  God Himself beat down your enemies and plague those who hate you. The anointing is evidence that the Spirit of God is upon you. When you hate what God hates and ask Him to anoint you, He will anoint you above your fellows.

“have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him….. The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.” Psalms 89:20-23

“Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.” Hebrews 1:9

Beloved, the anointing is not only for people in the five-fold ministry. It is for all. You need to be anointed for fulfilment of your destiny. The enemy will want to attack you and raise war against you because you are a threat to them. However, you will not need to do the fighting on your own or by yourself, if God has anointed you.

Prayer for today: Oh God anoint me with the Holy Ghost and power 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.

How to win without fighting 2

“When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.”  Proverbs 16:7

You would not need to do the fighting if your ways please the Lord. This is the second mystery of winning without fighting. Find the way of the Lord and walk in it. Then, your enemies will be God’s enemies and your friends will be God’s friends. Most people are carried away by the challenges of life, but all they need to do is to focus on God and His instructions for their lives. Your prayers should be, “Lord, what should I do?”, “Lord, show me Your ways”, “Lord, perfect Your will concerning my life”

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.” Psalms 119:9

“He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.” Psalms 103:7

Stop giving your battles and your enemies too much attention. Focus on God (Rom 8:31). Spend time with God and do whatever He tells you to do. Don’t seek God because of your trouble. Seek Him for a relationship. God called Abraham to have a relationship with Him. And so he took care of Abraham’s battles. He called Moses and showed him His ways, Moses became a god to the most powerful king and kingdom in his time. The enemy knows that you don’t really need to do the fighting if you are walking in the way of God (Daniel 6). So don’t sabotage yourself, find His way and walk in it.

Prayer for today: Oh God lead me by the way I should go 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.
