God’s dealing with His Children 3

 “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” 2 Corinthians 6:16

God’s dealing with you is covenant-based. A covenant is an agreement between two or more persons that involved promises and commitments. A covenant ensures the exchange of strength, provision, protection, and security. The new covenant is based on better promises. This is because, in the new covenant, God does not only be with us, He dwells in us. We become the ark of God. In this new covenant, Jesus is the mediator and His blood is the seal of the covenant.

“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.” Hebrews 8:6

 “And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.” Hebrews 9:15.

The new covenant guarantees us the promise of eternal inheritance. It is the seal of God’s ownership upon your life. Whose you are is more important than who you are. The new covenant is your power over the wickedness and the challenges in this world. Surrender the totality of your life to the Holy Spirit and see the covenant at work in your life.

May you the new covenant be at work in your life in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, let the new covenant be upheld in my life through the 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.

God’s dealing with His Children 2

 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 1:12

Your part in God’s dealing with you is summarized in three words: believe, receive, and become. The plan of God is hidden in both His written and spoken words. It is of utmost importance that the Word comes to you. And when the Word comes to you, you must believe it to receive it, and you must receive it to become it. When you become what the Word says you are, you are a delight to the Father.

“And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.” Luke 1:38

 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20.

Mary the mother of Jesus is a model of what our response should be when God’s plan is made known to us. We should simply believe and accept His plans to enjoy supernatural results. Beloved, it is time to go back to the Lord and reaffirm our commitment to walking in His plan. We should permit Him to do whatever He wants with our lives.

May you walk in God’s plan for your life in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, make me an expression of Your 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.

God’s dealing with His Children 1

 “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.” Ezekiel 36:26-27

Starting from today, I want to share with you how God deals with His children in this dispensation of grace. This will include the plan, the new covenant, the instruction, the grace, the gift, and the fruit. Going back to Genesis, you see how God provided a space for Adam, gave him instructions, and fellowshipped with him daily. Satan’s attack was directed at the instruction God gave Adam and Adam’s fellowship with God in order to steal the space God gave him. So when God declared His plan for dealing with His children through Ezekiel, it was based on walking in His instructions and fellowship through His indwelling Spirit.

“And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.” Hebrews 7:15-16

 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:” Hebrews 8:10.

God’s dealing with His children in this dispensation is centered on Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. This plan works based on the people receiving Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is another priest not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. Basically, God empowers His people to walk in His instruction through the Holy Spirit when they receive Jesus into their lives.

May you know God personally and intimately in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, empower me to walk in your counsel for my 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.

Sanitize 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

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.  Can you believe that he was looking for something in Jesus? But he could not find anything. He was looking for something that would permit him to come in and hinder the work of our salvation but he found nothing.

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

 “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;” John 2:15.

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 temple of God.

May your house be sanitized by the blood of Jesus.

Prayer for today: I cast out all unwanted guests in my body 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.

Seeing precedes taking

 “And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.” 2 Kings 20:15

Until it is seen, it cannot be taken. You need to see your divine allocation in order to take it. Also, unless the enemy sees anything that belongs to you, he cannot steal it. I pray for you that your eyes be opened to see and that the eyes of your enemy be shut from seeing in Jesus name. Hezekiah took the envoys from Babylon and showed them all his treasures, nothing was hidden from them. The Prophet came to him and told him that the king of Babylon shall take them. Anything you don’t want the enemy to steal, don’t show it to him.

“And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.” Genesis 13:14-15

 “Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.” Jeremiah 1:11-12.

Whatever you can see, God will give to you. Your spiritual sight determines the limit of what God can give to you. Ask God to open your eyes, because your physical eye is a limitation. Also, you must see well to perform well, and for the word of God to be hastened for results in your life.

May your eyes be opened, may you possess your possessions this month in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: O God open my eyes that I may see wondrous things from your law 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.

Keep a company of believers

 “Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.” Daniel 2:17-18

 

Your faith shall be tested. In a time of test, you need people that will encourage your faith and not people that will cause you to doubt. Daniel himself was a strong believer, but his companions are strong believers too. People who entered a furnace and the fire could not do them any harm. These people were ready to join him when he needed to know the king’s dream and the interpretation. An assignment the magician considered impossible. It is easier to believe if you keep the company of believers.

“And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.” Mark 13:30-31

 “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” Numbers 13:30-31.

Choose a believing company and live! Jesus removed the company of doubters before He brought Jairus daughter back to life. Caleb encouraged the people to believe and take the promised land in Numbers 13 but the others except Joshua said it could not be done. Both groups got what they believed. The group that believed it could be done despite the presence of giants, got into the land. The people that did not believe did not get there.

All things are possible for you in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, dissolve the company of doubters around 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.

New things 2

 “Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.” Isaiah 43:18-19

Get ready for new things that God wants to do in your life. God is perfect, but we are not. This is why it is important for us to consciously align ourselves to what He wants to do. New wine cannot stay in an old bottle. Similarly, we must prepare ourselves for the new things God wants to do. We must get ready spirit, soul, and body. Your perspective, thought, desperation, prayer, and giving can get you ready to receive from God.

“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:” Isaiah 1:19

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” Matthew 11:12

Your perspective must be positive, while you must align your thought to possibility. This is an indication of your willingness to receive from God. If you doubt God for any reason, you hinder Him. Obey God in all things, be desperate in your prayer and in your giving. This is your key to taking it by force.

I see you enjoying new things in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, do a new thing in my 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.
