A package from the Lord 2

 “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 36:27KJV

God’s package is delivered through His Spirit. When the Holy Ghost comes upon you, you behave like God. A man will always behave like the spirit that is upon him. When you are struggling to do something, you have not received the spirit that makes it happen. No one can successfully live a Christian life without the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the seal of God upon you. You can become a master of an art, a business, a career or a ministry by receiving an impartation of the spirit.

“See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.”  Exodus 31:2-5KJV

“And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.” 1 Samuel 10:6 KJV

 God is willing to give you the gift of the Spirit (Luke 11:13). God wants you to be His witness on earth; you must seek Him and get baptized in the Holy Spirit and power (Acts 1:8). Let God anoint you and bless you. It also takes power to inherit the promises (Luke 24:49). God’s ability is produced in any man through His indwelling Spirit.

May you be anointed by the Holy Ghost in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, endue me with power from on high, in Jesus’ name.

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.

A package from the Lord 1

“Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.” Job 22:22-23KJV

Yesterday, I shared with us that we are receivers and that we must receive from the Lord to make fruitful and positive deliveries of our lives and destiny. Today, I want to share with you that God’s delivery to us comes as a package. They are packaged in His word and in His Spirit. His blessing, anointing, favor, wisdom and power are packaged in His Word and His Spirit. The key to this package is fellowship; you must acquaint yourself with Him. Spend time daily alone with Him, ask Him to send you His word, and baptize you in His Holy Spirit. Do it until you receive this package, and you will walk in the wisdom and power of God.

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”  Philippians 4:6 KJV

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8 KJV

You are properly concerned with many issues of life right now. Sincerely speaking, you don’t need to. But you surely need to receive His package for you to be well equipped to handle the issues of life and fit into the divine assignment for your life. Why should you worry about hunger when you can simply eat to kill the hunger? You are actually worried about the things of this world because you are hungry. Eat the word daily until you are satisfied! (Job 22:22–28, Matthew 4:4, Psalms 107:20, Psalm 119:130, John 10:35, Matthew 6:25–33).

May the word of the Lord come to you in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, empower me to be who You want me 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. 

We are receivers!

 “John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.” John 3:27KJV

One thing you must understand about human beings, including yourself, is that we are receivers first before we become givers, although it is giving that multiplies us.  You must receive training to deliver results in any field of endeavor. This is why organizations train you to deliver. You must receive from the Lord if you desire to fulfill your destiny. We receive to become; we become to impart others. You must hunger for the blessing, the anointing, the favor, and the wisdom of God in your life.

“Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.”  James 4:2-3KJV

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8KJV

I know a lot of us want changes in our lives.  If you understand this message, you will know how to get the change you desire. You must position yourself to receive from the Lord, and you don’t have to worry about the change. Change will come when you receive. The problem is that a lot of us do not know what we really need (Acts 3:1–6). Ask God to reveal to you what your destiny needs.

May you receive from the Lord in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, fill me with Your wisdom 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.

The boldness in righteousness

 “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Proverbs 28:1KJV

You know the kind of boldness you display when you know your job very well. This is a picture of the boldness you will display if you know God and walk in His will. Righteousness is standing on God’s word. The boldness of a righteous man is likened to the boldness of a lion. In fact, we, Christians, belong to a lion tribe; the lion of the tribe of Judah is our Senior Brother. The best thing you can do for your life and destiny is to know God’s word and walk in it. Righteousness is inputed to us through the knowledge of Jesus Christ; the Word became flesh Himself. Our righteousness is covenant-based.

“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 11:32KJV

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” genesis 1:26KJV

Pray until you hear God and gain access into the mystery of His word. This is how to access boldness in righteousness. You become unshakable and immovable in all situations. You take charge even in the midst of your enemies. This is the gain of true righteousness. It is a life of dominion.

May you walk in boldness in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: Holy Ghost, help me to hear You clearly and to understand and walk in the 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.

Giving all diligence

 “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.” 2 Peter 1:5-7KJV

The phrase “giving all diligence” was translated as “make every effort” in some translations of the Bible. This is a call to action on our part to increase Christian character. Indicators of Christian growth are the fruits and gifts of the Spirit. A lot of Christians focus on gifts because of the glamour, but the fruit of the Spirit is what will make you, as an individual, minister to yourself. The gifts are for ministering to others, while the fruit ministers to you personally. In any case, spiritual matters demand physical effort if we want to be fruitful as Christians.

“For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ “2 Peter 1:8KJV

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Galatians 5:22-25 KJV

Be intentional about building your character as a Christian. You will have to deal with the flesh by crucifying it with its affections and lusts. You will have to submit yourself to God to do what He wants with your life. No law can be against you when you walk in the spirit and display the fruit of the Spirit. You will live above both the law of men and the law of God. This is the position that God has for us.

May you be evidence of God’s wisdom and power, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, do what You want with 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.

Treat people well

“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” Matthew 7:12KJV

The greatest physical resources any man can have are people, so treat people well. Always put yourself in other people's shoes, says the Lord. Treat people exactly the way you want others to treat you. If this law is fulfilled by men, we will be able to avoid the pain caused by men to others. Human beings can cause pain, yet they can also cause gain. Don’t cause people pain. Don’t backbite or slander people.  Don't rob others. Whatever you do to others is a seed; it comes back as a harvest in due time. Be good to attract good people.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7

“And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.” Mark 2:3-4

Have a cordial relationship with men. Treat people well. Invest in your relationships with people. Make yourself irresistible to people by contributing to their lives at your level. Apart from the disciples, Jesus was supported by people (Luke 8:2–3), and He visited people (Luke 10:38). Four men broke through the roof to get their sick friend to Jesus (Mark 3:3–4). If the right people are committed to your life, you can never be on the floor. Where there are no people, the vision perishes. If you have good people around you, you can win in any situation.

May you be helped by men in Jesus’ name (2 Chronicles 26:15).

Prayer for today: Oh God, plant the right people around 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. 

Engage the Holy Spirit

 “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” John 14:16-17KJV

When Jesus told His disciples that he was leaving, sorrow filled their hearts. He provided leadership, direction, power, and provision for them. They thought there would be a great vacuum if he left them. Jesus told them that it was better for Him to leave so that a better companion in the Person of the Holy Spirit might come to them. Today we see the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer in Jesus Christ. We have access to the wisdom and power of God through the Holy Spirit. He is indeed a comforter. His presence is the greatest help a man can have.

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:13

“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.” John 16:7

Beloved, the Holy Spirit is more than a tongue; He is a person. If you engage Him in your life, you can never be alone. He is God. He can provide answers that your intellectual capability cannot handle. He is gentle but powerful. If you give Him room in your life, you can never be defeated. He wants to have fellowship with you.

May you be helped by the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name.
