The Solution To Every Problem in Your Life

Text: 2 Peter 1:2-3
Grace and Peace are multiplied through knowledge of God and the promises of God in the Word of God. Grace provides all that we need through the shed blood of our Lord Jesus via the finished work of Christ on the Cross.
Peace receives and keeps the blessings grace provides. God’s power is released in an atmosphere of peace (Exodus 14:14) to overcome any hindrance to the manifestation of grace. Great peace is evidence of great faith.
What we know in the Word of God directs our thinking. All things that pertain to life and godliness come through the knowledge of God and the promises of God in the Word of God.
When we think about, meditate on, and imagine and focus on what God says we are, we become like so (Proverbs 23:7). We enjoy an atmosphere of peace in our hearts and minds ready to receive what God’s grace provides.
We receive or take possession of what God’s grace provides for us in atmosphere of peace, and when we say or declare what God says we have by grace, we have it. (Mark 11:23-24).
Therefore to change our person from ordinary to kings and priests, royal, peculiar and chosen, we need to think about, meditate on or imagine what God says we are(1 Peter 2:9, Ephesians 2:6, Revelation 1:5-6, Deuteronomy 7:14, 28:13), but to receive what the Word says we have, we need to say what God’s Word says we have.-(Mark 11:23-24, 1 Corinthians 3:21,23, Romans 8:17, Deuteronomy 7:14, 28:11-12).
The mode of operation of the devil knowing how important peace is to the individual, family or church or society to walking and enjoying the favor and blessing of God is moving around like a roaring lion creating unrest, strife, quarrelling and disharmony in the individual, family, church, society etc. to short circuit the flow of God’s blessings. A word is enough for the wise! Watch it!

Let the Redeemed of the Lord say So

Text: Psalm 68:19, 107:2, 103:1-7, Job 22:28-29
God daily loads us with benefits including forgiveness of sins, healing, crowning us with loving kindness and tender mercies, satisfying our mouths with good things, renewing our youth like the eagle’s, judgment against our oppressors. To receive these blessings the Redeemed have to declare them to be justified i.e. to have a right standing to receive it(Isaiah 43:26).When there is a casting down, the believer shall say, There is a lifting up.(Job 22:29), and the inhabitant of Zion shall not say, I am sick(Isaiah 33:24).
The Word of God says decree a thing, and it shall be established (Job 22:28). Death and life are in the power of our tongue and we shall eat the fruit of our lips (Proverbs 18:21). Our belly (our inner man) is satisfied with the fruit of our mouth and filled with the increase of our lips(Proverbs 18:20). Blessing and cursing is activated in our lives through our mouths (James 3:10). And The Lord said in Mark 11:23, we shall have what we say.
From this day start prophesying and decreeing good things that God the Father had provided for us that pertain to life and godliness (1 Peter 1:2-3) through the finished work on the cross into your life, family , community, nation .
Every day look at yourself in the mirror and prophesy the word of grace into your life(Acts 20:32), family, brethren, church, nation etc.The Scriptures say by the words of the righteous, the city is blessed(Proverbs 11:11). Now begin right now.
Avoid speaking negative or curse words into your life or anyone else life. Remember the word you speak if negative will first swallow you(Ecclesiastes 10:12) and will condemn or justify you before God(Matthew 12 :37)
Remember the Word of God cannot be broken (John 10:35). It will scatter any opposition on its way to fulfilling its purpose and will grind to powder whatever it comes against(Isaiah 55:11,Matthew 21:42,44).
Your keeping quiet or engaging in negative and worthless talking have been robbing you, and others you are supposed to channel God’s benefits to of their daily blessings. Enough is enough.Get the word into your spirit and begin prophesying and decreeing the word in accordance with the Word of God.

Connecting to the Kingdom’s Blessing Makes us Wealthy

Text: Proverbs 10:22, Deuteronomy 8:18

There are blessings in the kingdom of God dependent on God only through Christ. Outside the kingdom man is a survivalist, struggling to be rich. The Scriptures says in Hebrews 4:3 that all that that believe have entered into their rest like God did on the 7th day because the provision upto the 6th day of working by God was more than sufficient for ever.
In the kingdom of God it is our vision and our positive response in worship and thanksgiving with our conduct, character and conversation to God in what He has accomplished in Christ for us on the cross that takes the provision already made available. We access the provision by sowing into the kingdom as the Holy Spirit directs and leads us for the things we are believing God for as instructed in Luke 6:38, Malachi 3:10,Galatians 6:7-10, and in 2 Corinthians 9:8-10. We hear the Holy Spirit instruction and direction when we meditate and think the promises in the Word of God (Acts 10:19).
Thereafter we make a demand on the kingdom(Isaiah 45:11) for the good measure pressed down shaken together just like the seed sown in the ground makes demand on the earth and God to grow.-Mark 4:26-29.
We must obey the laws of the kingdom to be a committed sower, because seeds are only multiplied for sowers.-2 Corinthians 9:10.

Change Your Image about Yourself and Change Your Life

Text: Matthew 6:22-23, 8:18, Colossians 3:2, Genesis 11:6

Our text says our eyes are the lamp of our bodies. Eye means spiritual or faith eye or vision. It means the eye of our understanding or imaginations (Ephesians 1:18). It means the type of image we focus on and that we keep in front of us. What images are we developing in our minds; we will move towards and ultimately produce.
Our imagination is the mirror of our soul, where our thoughts, attitudes and what we decide to focus on are arranged in order to form a coherent picture that is produced in our lives. Our imaginations can make or mar us in our lives.
The Bible warns us not to set up idols in our heart , which becomes a stumbling block of iniquity, because God will not hearken to our prayers, and also brings direct opposition and punishment from God (Ezekiel 14:3,8)
In Genesis 15:5, God told Abraham to look at the stars, what he had earlier declared to him. God was showing to us that it is the combination of imagination and word of faith that produces the result. When we can imagine the word of God through thinking and meditation, we conceive the picture in our hearts and mind ; and when the declaration of faith is made, the blessing is produced.
Therefore to have a changed life we need to improve our visioning. Paint a new picture of how you want to be. Externally you may not be so now, but internally you are great in your heart and mind, and you are changing your outward. What our natural eyes see are ultimately processed by our brains into 3-D picture in our minds drawn from our mental computer memory, whether negative or positive.We should place around us the pictures of the expected blessings. We should have scriptures that inspire us around our houses or our domicile: “I am more than a conqueror, I am blessed above all people, I can do all things through Christ, God’s favor is all around me like a shield, This is the day the Lord had made, My God has supplied all my needs”.
Then begin to expect the blessings from God. God says in Isaiah 43:19, I will do a new thing, can’t you perceive it? God is saying, are you making room for the blessings in your thinking? Are you expecting increase today? Are you planning for your next promotion? Are you planning to be an effective minister to the glory of God?
Whatever we desire will affect our prayers, worship, giving, and consecration, soul winning commitment, our attitudes, countenance and words.
A combination of information through reading the word of God, revelation through meditation, thinking and imagination and acting on the revelation that we have received is how faith is released to produce for us. All things are impossible to them that believe(Mark 9:23).This is the day to turn the corner of your life. Will you?

Are You an Heir, the Lord of all or Are You a Servant? The Choice is Yours

Text: Galatians 4:1-7, Romans 8:14-15, Hebrews 5:12-14

Many believers are pre-occupied with prayer requests, waiting for God to do something. But God says I have accomplished all that I need to do (John 19:30) through my Son. Before now I had only one begotten Son, but now since you were crucified, died, buried and resurrected with him, my only begotten Son is now the first begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings of earth. You have been made a king and a priest (Revelations 1:5) and a joint heir with Christ, and all things are yours for the taking by faith (1 Corinthians 3:21,23)

We are kings in the kingdom of spirits where the Lord Jesus is the Kings of kings. Everything in the physical realm were produced from the spirit realm. The lord of all or heir as long as a child will lead the life of a servant(Galatians 4:1). It is our responsibility to exercise our five senses to discern between good and evil and grow into sonship in Christ(Hebrews 5:14).

AS many as are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. The more yielded we are to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, the more we grow into sonship in the kingdom, our lordship becomes practical and in manifestation.

Without Jesus we cannot receive anything. He is with us always (Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 28:20), and He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Jesus said in John 14:23 "if a man loves me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him" and I will manifest myself to him or her as righteousness., wisdom, sanctification and redemption(1 Corinthians 1:30).

Therefore rather than praying for things let us pray and confess that the God of peace through the blood of the everlasting covenant had made us perfect in our soul in every good work to do His Will working in us that which is pleasing in his sight through our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever, Amen(Hebrews 13:20); and spend much of our prayer time in worshipping God and Our Lord Jesus Christ and acknowledging the person of the Holy Spirit, loving him and developing our intimacy with Him and yielding our soul (mind, will and emotions) to Him so as to work in us to will and to do of His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). God bless you

Faith is for Taking - Mark 11:23-24

Faith in Jesus Christ and in the Word of God is for taking what God has provided for us through the finished work of Christ on the Cross. When we pray the promises of God in the prayer of faith: we are taking the promise of God in Christ Jesus in the spirit realm including, but not limited to power, wisdom, riches, strength, honor, glory, blessing, healing, love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, and all that God the Father has provided in Christ just like we take a physical object in the physical realm.

The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 6:15, that what God has promised in His Word and spoken by His Mouth, He has already fulfilled with his Hand. God cannot lie.
All the promises are Yea and Amen in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 1:20)

The responsibility of the believer after offering the prayer of faith to God is to take the promise of the Word of God as already accomplished for him. For example, the believer can take the blessing or answer after prayer of faith and keep holding the blessings until it manifests in the physical. It is understood that these blessings come in the form of empowerment. For example, when we pray 1 Peter 2:24 concerning healing, we take the power from our spirit man that was put there at Salvation (Ephesians 1:19) to take the healing and release it into our body. Whilst we are holding the power, we remain patient, steadfast and in thanksgiving to God thereby abounding in faith to prevail in the good fight of faith against Satan. That is how we live a victorious life by faith daily.

Until You Confess, You Are Not Truly Saved(Sozo) (John 12:42; James 2:19)

The word 'confession' means to agree with or to speak the same thing. Our text says the chief rulers who believed in Jesus did not confess him because of the Pharisees, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.Therefore they were not truly saved. Saved is translated sozo meaning forgiveness of sins, healed, delivered, redeemed and blessed etc.We believe with our heart and confess with our mouth to enjoy the blessings from the finished work of the cross. Our confession is our faith speaking.That is the way we take the blessing in Christ.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 when we are born again, we become new creatures in our spirit mind. Old things are passed away including sickness, disease, poverty, oppression, barrenness and ever negative thing in our lives and everything becomes new. Until we confess the blessing, we cannot possess these new things. However, because of the scorn and jeers of people around us we are ashamed to confess these blessings because they are not physically with us yet. For example, a sister who was barren before she became born again is ashamed to confess (Exodus 23:25-26) that she's pregnant and that barrenness is forbidden in the kingdom. The old barrenness passed away when she became born again. The brother who had been living under penury is ashamed to confess (Philippians 4:19) that he is rich, because God has supplied his financial needs.
Jesus says in Matthew 10:32-34 that he will not confess us before the Father and the angels because we refuse to confess Him and His Word before men. Therefore, our blessing will be hindered. We are not expected to confess our own words to claim some imaginary things.

We are to make the confession in this order:
• First, confess Jesus as Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9-10)
• Secondly, confess the Word of God as it concerns what Jesus has obtained for us on the Cross (Colossians 2:10; Romans 8:31).
• Finally, if there is no manifestation, check if there is sin, then confess the sin (James 5:16; 1 John 1:9)

This is the order. Christianity is the confession of faith and our confession is our faith. The problems with many believers is mainly about confession of our faith more than unbelief. Many of us trust and believe God and the Lord Jesus Christ but our confession within ourselves, with others and in every place is contrary to the Word of God, which we claim to believe. Until what we believe in our heart and our confession agree the blessing will be far-fetched.
However, if we had been confessing the Word of God and believed in our heart, we should patiently wait for our blessing is on its way and will surely be delivered if we faint not. God cannot lie (James 5:7; Hebrews 6:12).


God Bless You.

The Word of God Inside Your Spirit Spoken With Your Mouth Will Change Your Circumstance

Mark 13:31, Psalm 119:89

If you have a physical problem, it's just temporary, it's subject to change. But the truth that "By whose stripes ye were healed" (1 Peter 2:24) cannot change. It is the Word of God. It is settled forever (Psalm 119:89). Heaven and earth will pass away, but God's Word will not pass away (Mark 13:31). When you begin to perceive the word of God in that way, you're on your way to blessings unlimited. You will see the power of God manifest in your life.

Stop looking at thinks and saying negative things. Recognize that the circumstance is temporal (1 Corinthians 4:7-8)

Look at what God has already done in your life in Christ. Look at the Bible's positive examples. If all else fails, look at heaven, and think about how God is going to bless you for all eternity. Look not at the physical things but at the unseen things, the promises of God.

Find a promise in the Word of God that counters the negative circumstance you're in and dwell upon it. Focus on it. Remember that "as he [a man] thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7).

What you focus your attention on is what you will be dominated by. If you look at natural truth alone, you may intellectually acknowledge the power of God, but if you aren't focusing on it, your problem is going to dominate you.

You can't focus your attention on something without it having an inroad into your life! If you aren't thinking on God's promises, it's impossible for you to operate in faith. You are going to be the way you think.

Harden Not Your Hearts: Hebrews 3:8,11; Mark 8:17, 6:52

The believer is admonished not to harden his heart. Sin is the symptom of a hardened heart and not the root cause. The root cause is when we do not perceive, understand, hear, see or remember or consider the miracles, signs and wonders performed by the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are therefore admonished to think and meditate on the miracles, signs and wonders done by Jesus Christ which cannot be compared to whatever challenge you may be facing. We need to turn to Jesus and give him our challenges and our cares as he's willing to carry the burdens. He said "Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest" [Matthew 11:28]. So don't wait any longer, give that problem to Jesus. HE is waiting to be gracious and to help you. Jesus is Lord.

The Anointing Destroys the Yoke of Sickness and Disease (Isaiah 10:27)

When a person is born again, he becomes the temple and dwelling place of the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 6:19). A ministry of the Holy Ghost in the believer is to take fire in one hand and burn the chaff in the soul and body and to take the take the fan on the other hand and blow away the burnt chaff (Matthew 3:11-12) to keep the temple holy and clean.
Anointing oil is a medium by which the Holy Spirit manifests the ministry of fire and the fan to deliver the captive (1 Samuel 16:13, James 5:14-15). So when you place the anointing oil already dedicated to God in the Name of Jesus on your forehead and begin to speak by faith, word of healing and freedom from the Word of God into your body and soul, you will be made whole in Jesus Name.

Sabbath Rest for the People of God Hebrews 4:3, 7-11

Jesus finished work on the Cross of Calvary has given believers rest to seize from their own works, as God did seize from His rest. Hebrews 4:10

Don't worry about whether or not you are doing anything wrong. Just trust and rest in what God has already provided thought the finished work of Christ on the Cross of Calvary. Stay focused on God's promises of blessings. Then you'll find yourself abounding in good works in Christ as long as you stay off from the rest in Christ. If you keep worrying about it, you'll find yourself always doing wrong. Do not be moved by what you see or hear from people or prevailing circumstances. God's voice is the only voice that matters. Continue to confess your righteousness in Christ and God's word over the situation and trust that the manifestation of good works in your life and healing or blessing was on its way. Remind yourself that the blessing including the righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost precursor to the addition of all that we need to our lives (Matthew 6:33) really was there in Christ and you would see it. If you don't understand, begin to pray in tongues to pray the will of God, concerning the matter. Speak healing or blessing as directed by God and command it to be the way God designed it to be.

What Is The Real Truth?

The truth of the gospel shall set you free. What is the truth? Lord Jesus, I confess you are my lord and savior. I believe you were raised from the dead. Therefore I am blessed (saved). Romans 10:9. The truth is The Gospel of The Cross. When confessed, it releases the power of God to release our blessings. (1 Corinthians 1:18). The truth releases us from the bondage of sin, sickness, oppression, the Devil and the world; as we confess and we meditate on it without ceasing. This is how we believe and receive from God.

Praise God. Jesus is Lord.

Secret of Financial Blessings

Give to others. Give to the Poor, Give to the Church and God will multiply what you give out to love in your heart. What you consume is bread and what you give is seed which you sow and God will multiply

2 Corinthians 9:10

Overcoming Anger

Do you know that you can overcome anger? Anger is a manifestation of a lack of internal peace. Internal peace flows from the Prince of Peace (Jesus Christ). When we put God first in all we do, especially in sacrifice, internal peace and joy flows into our lives. Cain did not put God first in his sacrifice, which resulted in anger compared to Abel who gave the firstlings of his flock.

Learn to put God first in everything and eternal peace and joy will be the result and God will be pleased with you.

Genesis 4:1-7
