Jesus Christ is All You Need

Text: Acts 10:38, Luke 4:18, 1 John 2:20, 26-27
When Peter first preached to the Gentiles in Acts 10:38, He declared to them-the Anointed and His Anointing and miracles happened. When Philip preached to the people of Samaria in Acts 8:6-8, He declared to them the Anointed and His Anointing. Many were healed and unclean spirits were driven out by the knowledge of the Anointed and his Anointing. When the Anointed with His Anointing was speaking in Luke 5:17 and Luke 6:17 , all were healed and the possessed were delivered. Eternal life or abundant life comes through the knowledge of God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Anointed through His Anointing (John 17:3).
When you behold Jesus Christ through the Word of God, anointing will begin to flow through your body and circumstances, transforming you (2 Corinthians 3:18)
We are to live our life through the Anointed and His Anointing (1 John 4:9, 5:11, Galatians 2:20). How?
Meditate (Think) on the above scriptures, your mind will be renewed and you become like what you think.(Proverbs 23:7, Romans 12:2). Your thoughts become your words and your words become your actions and your actions become your habits and your habits become your character and your character becomes your destiny.
Therefore watch your thoughts and what you say. Take no thought saying (Matthew 6:31). Once the thoughts are released through words, the process begins. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Your Blessing is in Your Tongue

Text: James 3:10, Psalm 34:13-14, Isaiah 44:26
Nine of the eleven plagues that came against Israel, as recorded in the book of Numbers, were caused by misuse of the tongue. So your mouth and your words—will either work for you, and bring health and healing and blessing to your life, or they will work against you, bringing nothing but harm.
Make them work for your good from today. Make them get aligned with what God has said and is saying as from today. Speak the Word—and keep speaking it and keep speaking it. As you do, God will confirm it. And He says, you are healed, prospered, delivered, blessed, wealthy etc.What are you saying. He has said ,....... so that you may blodly say and declare,; and ultimately to testify that the Lord is my helper, there is nothing man can do to me.(Hebrews 13:5-6).The Bible says in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be confirmed(2 Corinthians 13:1). God said it, I believe it and then I said it, that settles it. Alleluia.
The challenge, we have therefore, comes in holding fast and not swaying from God’s Word. And in part, that means we need to keep our tongue in line with what God says about our healing every time and everywhere.
As we meditate on the following scriptures: Proverbs 10:11, 12:18, 13:3, 15:4, 16:24, 18:20-21 ,1 Peter 3:10-11 , it becomes abundantly clear that our tongue determines the course of our nature and life.

Doing Spiritual Warfare with Prophetic Declarations

Text: Psalm 103:20, 29:1-8

The believer is the temple of the Living God. The Spirit of Christ dwells in us. Believers are children of God. When a believer declares the Word of God out of his heart: that is the Voice of his Word (Psalm 103:20). God and His Word is the same (John 1:1). When we use our voice to declare the truth of God’s Word planted in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, that becomes the more sure Word of prophecy(2 Peter 1:19).The more sure Word of prophecy causes light to shine in whatever area we are confronted with. We are releasing light when we speak the Word of God to any situation and activating angelic intervention.

Ezekiel in Ezekiel 37 was commanded by God to prophesy to the lifeless bones and to the winds. He obeyed and the results came.

Jesus admonished us in Mark 11:23 to prophesy or speak to any mountain in our lives in operating our faith before praying. In Matthew 4:4 through prophetic declarations: it is written Jesus overcame the enemy.

Today it is important to believe Hebrews 2:14 that the power of the enemy has been completely destroyed. The only power He has now is to deceive. Our battle is against the wiles (deception) of the devil (Ephesians 6:11), not the devil himself that is the deception of sin and sinful acts. When we yield to sin by believing his lies, it is like we hand over power in Christ to Satan.
Strife, complaining, murmuring, back biting , lust of the flesh, of the eyes and the pride of life and in fact any work of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21, 1 John 2:15-16 is giving the enemy our own authority) to intimidate us. God forbid.

Our responsibility is to enforce the defeat of Satan by Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary by declaring the truth (John 8:32). When we release from our mouths the Light –the Word of God, as commanded by Jesus Christ in mark 11:23, darkness automatically bows. So Jesus defeated Satan and took the keys of hell and death from him, and made an open show of him triumphing over him (Colossians 2:15, Revelation 1:18)

What happens when we declare God’s word prophetically?

a) Power is released to accomplish the task-Psalm 29:4
b) The toughest mountain or obstacle is broken. Nothing can resist the word.- Psalm 29:5
c) The mountains will jump and skip away quickly -Psalm 29:6
d) It divides the fire released by the enemy so that we walk through unscathed like the three Hebrew children.- Psalm 29:7.

So when you diligently feed on the Word of God through meditation and study, and then release what is inside you through prophetic declaration “it is written or thus saith the Lord, you are releasing arrows against opposition and they will certainly bow and depart. The Word of God you speak under the influence of the Holy Spirit is prophetic and will liberate you anywhere and anytime. God bless

Jesus Christ-The Alpha and Omega

Text: Revelations 1:11-18, Isaiah 53:1, Romans 8:6

In the life of a man, there are many prevailing circumstances. Man is frantically looking for solution. The sick will go to the doctor; the poor and needy will look unto the government and maybe the rich and well to do for help; and man goes to toil and work to get money to meet his daily needs. For a sick person, the doctor may diagnose and give a report. For the poor or needy, the government‘s bailout or the rich may provide temporary but not sufficient relief; for the debt ridden, the bank account and the mountain of unpaid bills may speak volumes.
Our text tells us that Jesus Christ is the beginning of the beginnings; the ending of endings; the first and the last. He is the unchangeable changer in every situation or circumstance. He has the first and last word. The doctor’s report is not the final report on your health. The report of the Lord saying you are healed is the final report (1 Peter 2:24). The negative bank account balance is not the final report. The report of the Lord saying you are rich because He became poor that you might be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). The redemption from the curse of poverty, sickness, barrenness, stagnation, sin and oppression of the wicked one through the finished work on the Cross of Calvary is the final report (Galatians 3:13-14). Therefore claim your release from any curse hindering your progress.
All other reports are temporal, subject to change, but the report of the Lord is forever and permanent (2 Corinthians 4:18). Whatever you receive from the Lord is forever (Ecclesiastes 3:14) but the prosperity of fools shall ultimately destroy them (Proverbs 1:32). If you believe in the report of the Lord as written in the covenanted promises-the Word of God, you have life and peace. If on the other hand, you believe in the situation report you bring death and failure to the situation.(Romans 8:6) The choice is yours.
So for any situation in your life right now, go to Jesus Christ and The Word of God for answer. It is this word of grace through which we access our inheritance in Christ ( Acts 20:32). Therefore claim your inheritance and overcome any adversary hindering you.
However, the report of the Lord will only be delivered by the arm of the Lord, to those who believe in Jesus Christ and His report in His Word(Isaiah 53:1) and are not living in disobedience to the covenant.(Luke 6:46-49;13:24-27)
Everything starts with dealing with sinner and the sin question which inhibits the delivery of the report or the blessing of the Lord. We do this by acknowledging our sinful nature, our sinful past, asking God the Father to forgive us our sin and wash us with the Blood of his Son, Jesus Christ and receiving Jesus Christ and His Word into our heart and soul, as personal Lord and Savior and becoming members of the family of God.
Then we become born again of the Spirit. We are new creation in Christ in our spirit man(2 Corinthians 5:17), created in righteousness and true holiness(Ephesians 4:24)
Let those who are willing to give their lives to Christ or be restored to genuine fellowship with the Lord : now commit themselves to the Lord as we go to the Lord in prayer.

Jesus Christ-The Lord of All

Text: Acts 10:36, Ephesians 1:22; John 14:13-14, 16:23-24
We had learned that Jesus Christ is the beginning of the beginnings; the first and the last. He is the unchangeable changer in every situation or circumstance. He has the first and last word. The doctor’s report is not the final report on your health. The report of the Lord saying you are healed is the final report. The negative bank account balance is not the final report. The report of the Lord saying you are rich because He became that you might be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). That the curse of poverty, sickness, sin and oppression of the wicked one was destroyed on the Cross of Calvary, is the final report (Galatians 3:13-14).
This week we learn that Jesus Christ had restored all that man lost in the Garden of Eden. He is the Lord of all .So for any situation in your life right now, go to Jesus Christ and The Word of God for answer. It is this word of grace through which we access our inheritance in Christ ( Acts 20:32).
However we cannot receive the benefits of Jesus being Lord of all things and blessings to us, unless we are members of the household of God.
Every thing starts with dealing with sinner and the sin question which inhibits he delivery of the report or the blessing of the Lord. We do this by acknowledging our sinful nature, our sinful past, asking God the Father to forgive us our sin and wash us with the Blood of his Son, Jesus Christ and receiving Jesus Christ and His Word into our heart and soul, as personal Lord and Savior and becoming members of the family of God.
Then we become born again of the Spirit.
Let those who are willing to give their lives to Christ now commit themselves to the Lord as we go to the Lord in prayer.

The Miracle is Inside You-The Ball is in Your Court

Text: Matthew 9:27-30, 12:35; 2 Corinthians 4:6-7;Mark 11:23, Philemon 6
God works on what is already inside of you when He wants to perform a miracle. It is what you acknowledge consistently in Christ released with your mouth that you receive.
In our text Jesus Christ performed the miracles on two blind men because they believed that He could heal them. Jesus said it should be unto them according to their faith and their eyes were opened. What they believed came out of their mouth. The Bible tells us that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. You can have whatsoever you say (Mark 11:23). When you speak according to your faith, that which you say is what you will have.
The power of life and death is in the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). The Bible says in Proverbs 15:2 - “The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.” You are the one to determine whether you will have miracles or just keep on watching those who get their miracles.
Those who are not yet born again have to believe the report of the Lord, which says that if you shall call on the name of the Lord, you shall be saved. Many of those who are not born again remain so because they do not believe that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sins. If you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, you will be saved. Everyone who comes to Him will not be cast out. With Christ, your miracles are assured.

The Mystery of Godliness Will Swallow the Mystery of Iniquity

Text: 1 Timothy 3:16, 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8
The Bible in Proverbs 21:16 says “he that wandereth out of the way of understanding abideth in the congregation of the dead. Wisdom, knowledge and understanding all founded on Jesus Christ are the keys to victory in the kingdom-Proverbs 24:3-4. The purpose of Christ finished work on the Cross is to redeem and purify man from past iniquities (lawlessness and rebellion against constituted authority) to become a people zealous of good works -Titus 2:14; and to turn us away from future iniquities in order to bless us-Acts 3:26. This is the action of the mystery of godliness-Christ and the Holy Spirit -Colossians 1:27, 1 John 4:4 against the mystery of iniquity. The Bible says in our text that the mystery of godliness is greater than the mystery of iniquity.

The reason why a person works in the flesh is because of the operation of the mystery of iniquity (Satan and it’s cohorts) already at work on the earth which is releasing continually unclean and seducing spirits into people’s lives from their mouths.- Revelation 16:13-14, 1 Timothy 4:1-3.

The Bible tells us in Romans 8:2, that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus had made us free from the law of sin and death. We activate the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus: by feeding on the Word of God(Micah 7:14): studying and meditating continuously on the blessings from the finished work on the cross and better things that accompany salvation(Hebrews 6:9; Colossians 2:15, Ephesians 2:6, Romans 16:20, 8:37,Hebrews 2:14).

The rod of Aaron in Moses hand swallowed the rod of Pharaoh’s magicians. Jesus gave the believer against unclean spirits to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease(Matthew 10:1).The power is in the Word of God.(Luke 5:17, 6:17).Jesus had given the believer a mouth and wisdom (Word of God) so that the adversary cannot gainsay (Luke 21:15.So like Aaron's rod in Moses hand,the Word of God in the believer’s mouth as a two-edged sword will become a standard used by the Spirit of God living inside us to swallow the flood of unclean and seducing spirits released by the adversary against man.(Isaiah 59:19)

The Bible says let the redeemed of the Lord who God had redeemed from his enemies say and declare that he is redeemed (Psalm 107:2)

That is the essence of praying without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). The enemy is releasing enchantments continually .The believer must consume these divinations and enchantments (Numbers 23:23) with the Word of God as a two edged sword in his mouth. We pray the answer. Power of life and death -Proverbs 18:21; blessing and cursing -James 3:10 are in the mouth. ).
The ball is in the believers Court. Over to you brother and Sister. The battle is raging in your mind. Will you keep your mouth shut. God told Joshua that the key to success is to speaking the Word of God to himself daily(meditate) to generate the power needed to observe to do the Word. In Ephesians 5:18, we are commanded to be filled with the Spirit always .How? By speaking psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to ourselves and singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord,giving continuous thanks to God for all things in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ
God bless you.
