Your “intake” determines your “outtake”

“If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” Proverbs 24:10

“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Mathew 4:4

“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

Your true strength is the amount of information you have received and are willing to put to use, not the amount of food you eat. Your daily intake of knowledge determines your capacity to take what belong to you. Be aggressive first for the word from the Lord and then for useful information from men. You can never live beyond the level of information you have.

You will always dominate whatever comes your way if you are adequately informed spiritually and intellectually. The measure of your strength is the adversity you are able to handle. If you have “swallowed” God, you can handle any situation. 1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” You will be weak if you are waiting for a man of God to do what you are supposed to do. Sit down, work on your knowledge of God and the exploits He has done through men.

I see you growing in grace as you work on your knowledge of God.

Prayer for today: Show me your way Oh God that I may be your instrument of exploits on earth in Jesus name.

Be expectant

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,” Ephesians 3:20

Expectation comes before manifestation. Expect that God will always show up in your matter because you belong to Him. Although He is able to do more than our expectation, we still need to expect something from Him; and express it to Him in words. I discovered that unless we have a revelation, we always limit God in our expectations. There are two major factors that indicate our expectations: our thought and our asking.

What are you thinking about concerning yourself and your situation? Don’t be afraid to think big, because if you think big, God will do big. What have you asked the Lord today? I believe we must ask God everything. God will always do beyond our asking and imagination but we must ask and imagine Him doing great things in our lives. Stop imagining that things will go wrong, stop declaring what you don’t expect. Learn to think big and to ask big.

I ask God to do big things in your life today in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: My expectations, become manifestation in Jesus name.

Your case is different

“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: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” Mathew 7:24-25

It does not matter what is happening right now, at the end of it all you will be standing gloriously. This is because your case is different. Firstly, anyone who hears the word of God, believes His word and does His word is guaranteed victory come what may. Secondly, God is thinking about you.

Everything about the world is in the word. All things are shakable and changeable, only the word abides forever. Your positive response to the word makes your case to be different at all times. Paul said in the midst of deadly storm that made everyone in the ship to fast fourteen days without a Pastor instructing them, “ And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. 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.” Acts 27:22-24. Beloved, make the word of God your priority, keep on meditating on the word. Keep on declaring the word. Keep on doing the word. This will make your case to be different.

Can you imagine the President of your Country calling you and telling you that he is thinking about you? I am sure you will be confident that your life will be turned around for good. How much more the God of heaven and earth, who has power over all things, temporal and eternal.

Jeremiah 29:11 say, “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.”

Beloved, your case is different because God is thinking about you, He will give you an expected end.

May you experience the power of God in all areas of your life in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: O God arise and demonstrate your power in my life today. Let it be known that you are my God and my father in Jesus name.

Winning The Faith Fight 7

“David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”” 1Samuel 17:32

To win the fight of faith you must be able to see ways where others see blockages. You must be able to see success where others see failure. You must be able to see victory where others see defeat. You must never take no for an answer from any situation or from man when God has given you a yes. You must see possibilities where others see impossibilities. David said to Saul about Goliath, who made all the warriors in Israel to run away, that he would go and fight him, and no one should be afraid. Beloved, that is faith in action.

Mary was told that she would be pregnant despite the fact that she was a virgin, she believed and accepted the message of God. One scripture story I love so much is the account of four friends of a sick man in Mark 2.

“Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”” Mark 2:3-5.

Beloved, if you can believe God and act on His word, you will walk through mountains and valleys and arrive in a place of glory and honour.

I see God helping you to break forth on every side in Jesus name

Prayer for today: I receive boldness to enter the inheritance of faith that God has allocated to me in Jesus name.

Winning The Faith Fight 6

“And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:7-8

If your faith says yes, God will never say no. Be persistent in prayers. Persistency is an evidence of the winning faith. If you believe God for it, don’t stop mentioning it in prayers until you receive it. The persistent widow said the same thing until she got answer, “Grant me justice against my adversary.” Jesus said that was faith. Bartimaeus shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus said so him, “your faith has healed you.” Jacob said from midnight till day break, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” The Angel said to him, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.” if you have faith, you will say it until you receive it. You will stay on one prayer point for hours and not be weary, until you have answers. The woman with the issue of blood thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” When she put her thought into action, she was not refused. Although the anointing was meant for the twelve-year-old dead daughter of Jairus, she quickly harnessed it for the healing of her twelve years old issue of blood. Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

I see you getting results with your faith.

Prayer for today: I receive grace to be persistent in faith until I get results in Jesus name.

Winning The Faith Fight 5

“But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.” Mathew 14:30-32

Let Jesus help your faith. There can be situations when you are really afraid and your faith will fly away. But in this kind of situation you can still win the faith fight if you allow Jesus to hold your hand and help you. Note in our text today that Peter doubted because of the wind and began to sink. However, when Jesus held his hand, he continued to walk on water despite the fact that the wind was still there. The wind did not stop until they both entered the boat. Peter still won the faith fight because Jesus helped him. Jesus is willing to help you to win with your faith.

“Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”” Mark 9:23-24

Jesus helped the faith of the father of the child by setting his child free. Jesus will help you too. Spend time with Jesus in prayer, worship and meditation on the scriptures. The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” (Luke 17:5). If you are having difficulty in believing God, ask Jesus to help you.

I decree, you have the winning faith in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: O God help my unbelief and increase my faith in Jesus name.

Winning The Faith Fight 4

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

Patience is a major factor to win the faith fight. You must be in constant agreement with the promise in changing circumstances until the promise manifest. What this means is that you must keep on confessing or acting on the word whether your situation agrees with it or not until your situation agrees with it. If you are believing God for healing, keep on declaring the word whether it gets better or not until your body begin to respond and you eventually get better. The manifestation of the promise is instant in the spirit but may take time in the physical. During this time of waiting, you must hold the promise as a tangible substance. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).

In Mathew 14:29-32, Peter walked on water based on the word he received from Jesus. He lost grip of the word and started sinking because of the wind, a change in the situation. The word works in all situations, faith is a winner at all times. Never lose grip on your faith no matter how long it takes and what happens on the way.

I see God’s promises coming to pass in your life in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Lord help me to be constant in faith no matter what happen. I receive grace to patiently walk in faith until I see results in Jesus name.
