How to avoid errors in life and destiny

 “Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.” Mathew 22:29. (NIV)

It is an error to think that something that God has for your life and destiny is impossible. It is an error to doubt God. It is an error to consciously walk against God. It is an error to engage in things that can destroy you or others. It is an error to think it is over for you when you are still alive. It is an error to look for an alternative solution to your desire that is not godly. It is an error not to trust God totally with your life and destiny. Any of these errors can be avoided if you invest your time in knowing the word of God and His power.

 “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 (KJV)

“I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.” Job 42:5KJV

You must walk in the wisdom and power of God to avoid errors in life and destiny. Your real defense against error in life and destiny is the revelational knowledge of God’s word and a personal experience of the power of God. Head knowledge and shallow knowledge are part of the reasons why many Christians walk in errors. It is an error to live below your God-given destiny and in contravention of the will of God for your life. Ask God to reveal His will to you and pour His Spirit upon you.

May you not live in error, 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.

Pray till daybreak!

 “And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day….. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” Genesis 32:24-28

Pray till daybreak to overcome a hard spiritual obstacle. Praying till daybreak is beyond doing a vigil. It is starting at a time when darkness is full and ending at a time when light is full. If you are starting a business, a ministry, or a career, do vigil regularly, but pray till daybreak at least once a week. You are contending with spirits, and the good news is that you are also a spirit housed in the flesh. Build your spiritual capacity to ascend to the throne of God and exercise authority over principalities, powers and spiritual wickedness in high places. You are a target; please don’t become a victim when you have so much power at your disposal.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:10-12

“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

I feel sorry for Christians who are still snoring every night when they have not taken anything from the inheritance of the saints. You cannot engage the spirit of wisdom and revelation without adequate investment in the prayer of the night. Praying in the night is necessary to build faith and power. And if you engage in praying till daybreak, you will easily decode the darkness in your environment.

Darkness shall not prevail against you in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: I exercise authority over scorpions and serpents in my environment and terminate their operations, 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.

Know no man after the flesh!

“Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:16-17

We are in a spirit-invaded world, which means that when we think we are dealing with humans, we are actually dealing with spirits. Spirits are using men and even talking through them. When a person comes into your life, he or she will be for you or against you, depending on the spirit using him or her. Always discern the spirit behind a person so that you can deal with situations that arise as a result of interacting with or relating to them. Now, on a positive note, know how to relate to the anointed men and women that God has sent into your life. Your destiny depends on your response to these people.

“And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.” Hebrews 5:4

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” 2 Corinthians 4:7

Don’t despise a man of God because of his simplicity and humility. Don’t abuse your relationship with a man of God. Don’t talk negatively about a man God has anointed to help you.  Never despise the man God has anointed to help your destiny. Many of the things you struggle with will come to an end if you can identify and properly relate to the man God sent into your life (2 Kings 4:8–10). Humble yourself and accept God’s provision to help you through His sent ones.

May you not despise the man sent to help you in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, help me to know man after the spirit and not after the flesh, 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.

Who are your associates?

 “And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.” Genesis 30:27

When you choose your associates, you have chosen a destiny! When choosing your associates in life, choose the people who love God and walk in humility. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Your associates can determine whether God will bless you or not. There are some people that come into your life, and your smallness will be over; your little will become much. That was what happened to Laban when Jacob became his associate; his livestock multiplied. He recognized this and said to Jacob that he knew that God had blessed him for Jacob’s sake.

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.” Proverbs 13:20

“Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.” 2 Chronicles 20:37

On the other hand, there are people who come into a progressing thing, and that is the end of the progress. For such people, when they come into something that has been growing, retardation sets in immediately. Such was the influence of Ahaziah on Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat never failed on anything until Ahaziah became his associate. His ships were broken and could not get to their destinations. Beloved, pray the right associates into your life; reject people who hate God and are too proud to be blessed by God, no matter how attractive they are.  

May you associate with people that will bring God’s blessings into your life, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: I reject evil associates and pray godly associates into 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.

You can recover all!

“And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.” 1 Samuel 30:8KJV

Most people in the world have been robbed of one thing or another. The robber is satan and his primary assignment is stealing (John 10:10). He stole the kingdom of this world from Adam and made it his own. He even claimed it was delivered to him (Luke 4:6). What a lie! He stole it! The kingdom of this world belongs to you and me (Psalm 115:16). Some people have been robbed of years and opportunities, while many have been robbed of good marriages and good living. Some have been robbed of their health and wealth. If you are in Christ, you can go after the thief, bind him, and take what belongs to you. You can recover all.

“Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.” Matthew 12:29

“And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19

Satan robbed you and me when we were powerless and ignorant. Thanks to the Lord Jesus, He has given us power and the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. We have what it takes to take back all that satan stole. We can know beyond our intellectual capabilities and take authority over satan and his demons (Luke 10:19). Beloved, this is your time, this is your season, take what belongs to you in Jesus’ name.

You shall recover all, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: I break the power of satan on what belongs to me and I recover all, 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.

Positive expectations

 “For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.” Proverbs 23:18KJV

No matter what you go through, always have positive expectations. There are reasons why you must always have positive expectations. The first reason is that surely there is an end. There is an end to a season of trouble. There is an end to a season of struggling. The second reason is that you will always get what you expect. Don’t let your inconvenient season determine your expectations. And lastly, for every believer, God will give you your expected end.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

God has positive expectations of you; the least you can do for yourself is to have positive expectations for yourself and your situation. Never give up on anything, particularly if you are walking with God. Never doubt that things will eventually work in your favor. Even what you thought was negative is working for you. All things are working for our good. You will get the contract. You will get a good job. You will get married. You will come out of debt and poverty. No matter what, pray to God, believe Him and have positive expectations.

Your future is good and great, in Jesus’ name.

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

Believe God in all things!

 “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 KJV

The information we receive or what we go through can cause fear if it is contrary to our expectations. However, we need to hear what God is saying so that instead of responding in fear, we can handle things by believing God. Jairus was expecting healing for her daughter until the people brought him negative news. Jesus told him not to fear but only believe. Believe what? Believe that he would have his daughter back. Jairus heard Jesus and believed. He led Jesus to his house and truly received his daughter back. You will always have your expectations in all things when you believe God in all things.

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

“For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.” Acts 27:23-25

If all you have heard is the negative, you need to turn to God and hear the positive. This will happen if you turn all things to God and ask Him to intervene. No matter what you have heard or are going through, it will not really happen until you believe it. Never believe the negative, even if it looks so real. Meditate on the written word of God until you can hear correctly about the situation. Only God’s word is the truth. His word will never be negative (Jeremiah 29:11). When you believe God’s word, you have believed God, and you will receive a miracle.

May you believe God in all things, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, break the yoke of fear and discouragement in my life by the power of Your word, in Jesus’ name.
