Change Your World By speaking the Word of God from your Mouth

Text:Mark 11:23-24, Romans 10:9

The year 2010 is coming to an end.Thank God for His mercies and grace in our lives.Have you prayed and have not experienced any result may be for years or weeks or months or for some time now.Remember we cannot be effective witness if our lives do not show a new life borne out of our encounter with Christ.Our lives more than our words or preaching is the epistle men are reading.Any person with a challenge who encountered Christ receive a solution.Christ in us cannot share his glory with any other stranger. It is the position of believers to ensure this by our intolerance of any negative situation in our lives or around us.The world is waiting and groaning for our manifestations as sons and daughters of God.

From our texts, God expects us to remove the mountain first and then release our faith in prayers and then acknowledge that our answer has come, and then we will have it.He said for every one that asketh receiveth if we did not ask amiss as in James 4:3.

If we have not yet received our inherited blessings in Christ, we are to use our mouths to speak against any mountain standing against our receipt of our blessings.The word of God in your mouth is the sword of the spirit and when you confess the word of faith(agree in your words), you cut out what you don't desire in your life especially the obstacles and the strangers in your life.The word of God is fire, hammer, stone and burns out obstacles,grinds to powder obstructions and scatters adversaries.There is no limit to the ability contained in the word of God in your mouth.Jesus said in Luke 21:15 that i have given you mouth and wisdom which no adversary or mountain can gainsay.

The secret is to keep proclaiming and acting on the word of God and the desired change will come. Job said in Job 14:14 i will wait until my desired change come.
Keep saying it -declare the answer in the word and speak against the mountains and praise and thank God continually for the answer already provided in Christ and victory is assured. You can start right now.Do not tolerate the obstacle. Remove it with the ammunitions(the word of God) released from your mouth, and keep declaring the answer and thanking God as acknowledgement.God bless

The Solution to that Challenge is in the Word of God

Text: Proverbs 4:20-22, 24:13-14, Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:1-3, Revelation 1:3
The purpose of this teaching is to learn the answer to our challenges in life are in the Word of God. Jesus Christ is the Answer. Jesus Christ is the living word of God. Everything under the Word of God and is created to obey the Word of God. Through the finished work of the Cross and the grace of God, everything was placed under the Living Word(Ephesians 1:22-23.Matthew 28:20). God has given us a sure way to receive the answers to our problems and challenges. It is His Word. Every answer or solution we need is found in the Bible. Many believers are not walking victoriously in certain areas of their lives.
This is because the devil continuously wages a war of distraction against them in their faith walk. He manages to take them away from the one thing that can bring them victory — the Word of God. He will do everything possible to prevent them from opening the Bible because he knows that the Word of God will deliver them. Even when they open, He makes sure they do not meditate in order to obey nor listen to what the Holy Spirit is teaching them from the Word of God.
The distraction can be very subtle: A lot of things to get done outside the Word of God or it may take the form of a challenge that makes you feel that you need to focus all your attention on it. The enemy knows that if he can get you to take your eyes off the Word of God, he can keep you from winning the battle.
When you are going through a challenging situation, it is not enough to know that God has the answer and pray a wordless prayer, expecting He would answer. God said “bring forth your strong reasons”(Isaiah 41:21) and He only hastens to perform His Word(Jeremiah 1:12). Therefore find the scripture in which God has promised the solution. Meditate on it until the truth of that scripture is revealed to you in your spirit (the habitation of your faith) and becomes part of your inner consciousness to build up and mix with your faith. When you then release the wisdom of God(Word of God mixed with your faith) from your mouth, the testimony will be assured as no adversary can gainsay against you.(Luke 21:15) .When you do this, no devil can prevent that Word from God from bearing fruit in your life.
Let the Word of God abide in you and the answer will come forth. Even Jesus Himself used the Word to defeat the devil in the wilderness — “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4) The way to defeat the enemy is with “It is written…”There is no substitute for the written Word. God tells us that we will find life and health if we give our attention to His Word by reading and hearing the Word, and keep it in the midst of our hearts through meditation, thinking and imagination. So get into the Word and let God’s promises abide in your spirit and mind, and the solution to the challenge will not be farfetched.

2.Speak Boldly to the Challenge and to God-Hebrews 4:16, 13:5-6; Mark 11:23-24; Psalm 103:20
Take the word out of your spirit and speak it. Let the angels take the word and do exploit with the Word of God. Wait patiently and assuredly for the answer. While waiting continue to give God praise and worship God to strengthen your faith that will receive and quench the fiery dart of the devil standing against your blessing

3. Prayer : In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I commit to make the Word of God priority in my daily living. I believe the Word of God is the answer to every challenge in life
I receive grace to read, study, meditate and follow what the Word of God says
Therefore daily I will seek from the Lord the Word for me to prevail and overcome. My body belongs to God. I’ve got authority in the Word of God over Satan, the world and the flesh. I know it, And God knows it. I hold fast to the Word I have received until I see the manifestations in Jesus Name.

Your heart and Mind Must Agree for Inheritance to Manifest

Text: Acts 20:32, Galatians 5:22, Romans 12:2-3

When a believer faces a problem or a challenge, the spirit of faith in the heart received at salvation (Galatians 5:22, Romans 12:3) rises up looking for the Word of God to mix with to bring forth a solution ,blessing or testimony based on the inheritance from the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross and the grace of God through Christ Jesus as espoused in the gospel(Hebrews 4:2).

Once we release our faith from our hearts through words, action, behavior or thoughts, the mind like a computer starts searching for the Word of God that hath earlier been deposited or stored there through reading, study, confession and meditation on the word of God. The mixing of both Word and Faith brings the profit or the desired solution or blessing.

It is therefore important that the heart and mind agree with the Word of God to release the benefits and profit of salvation and bring forth the manifestation of our inheritance in Christ. God bless you.

Know Who you are in Christ To Overcome Any Addiction in Your Life

Text: James 1:23-25

The Bible in Hosea 4:6 says my people perish for lack of knowledge of Who they are ,What they are to do and How they are to do it. Our text says the Word of God is like a mirror. When we look in the Word, we don’t see ourselves the way the Devil says we are or other people say we are, but the way God says we are. Our text tells us that when we go to the mirror we see what God says we are, and when we walk away, we forget who we are according to the Word of God and do not practice to do the Word of God, and thereby allowing iniquity to prevail in our lives
Many interpret this to mean, that our sinfulness are highlighted by the Word of God. But looking at it in a better way is to see ourselves in the mirror of the Word of God as God sees us.

God doesn’t see our failures and sin; He sees the Blood of Jesus. God sees us healed without sickness. God sees us free without bondage. God sees us full of joy without sorrow. God sees us as winners and not losers. God sees us rich and not poor. God sees us holy and not sinful.

We take a look at the mirror of the Word of God, and forget what we saw and plead the negative situation or problem, and we plead guilt and condemnation thereby empowering the enemy.
Instead we should plead the blood of Jesus always as our access to our blessings in the Name of Jesus. When the Son of God sets us free we are free indeed. We should claim the blood of Jesus for our lives as the antidote to all problems.

To the drug addict, to the smoker, to the adulterer, we can boldly say: though they have said or tried several times to overcome their addiction to no avail in their own strength, because they had no willpower in themselves, but now in Christ Jesus their will power has been restored and redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb. They can now claim the blood of Jesus for their freedom and victory over those uncontrollable habits in Jesus Name. This is because when Jesus sweat drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane, our willpower was redeemed and given back to us.

All we have to do is to say “Father, I give you my will. I submit my will to the great IAM, I plead the Blood of Jesus over my life” and Jesus Christ will strengthen your will to do His will and the addiction will have to give way in Jesus Name, Amen.
