Moving from Dream to Destiny through Faith Vision
Text: 1 John 1:1-3, 2 Corinthians 4:18, Mark 4:24, Matthew 13:13-16
The scriptures says in Isaiah 42:19-20 "“Who is blind , but my servant? or deaf as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’s servant? Seeing many things but thou observest not; opening the ears but he heareth not.” ; in Proverbs 29:18 "Where there is no vision, the people perish, but he that keepeth the law happy is he"; and in Hosea 4:6 , " my people perish for lack of knowledge" So scriptural vision is related to the knowledge of the Word of God and keeping the law(the Word of God)
We understand that true vision is simply the unfolding of God’s plan concerning you and me through Jesus Christ (the Living Word of God) and implemented through partnership with the Holy Spirit(keeping the law or doing the Word of God). Since we are joint heirs with Christ; He is the Head and we are members of His body. We are the sheep .He is the Shepherd. The vision of Christ is the overall vision for the body of Christ.That is to seek and save them that are lost,(Luke 19:10) and to expand the kingdom of God unitl it covers the whole earth(Daniel 2:35).
There is a part of this vision that concerns you and me in the restoration of the earth and God’s creation back to Him. As we focus on and follow Jesus and the Holy Spirit guidance in our daily lives, we are fulfilling our vision and purpose in life, because without Him we cannot do nothing(John 15:5 , Matthew 4:19).Jesus told us His followers in John 16:5-15 to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit in fulfilling our mandate. To do this we have to be blind and deaf to our senses and the world around us. How?Through total reliance, dependence and submission to the "logos" and the "rhema" Word of God.
1. Through “logos” we receive directions from the Word of God: Psalm 119:105,130, Hosea 4:6, John 6:63, Revelations 1:3, 1 Timothy 4:15, Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 1:3, Joshua 1:8
As we read, study, meditate, confess, pray and praise the Word of God and reverence the triune God we contact the knowledge of the Spirit(power) in the Word and the life(blessings) in the Word(John 6:63).
We receive more of the spirit and life in the Word as we read and meditate and pray more the Word of God. The quantum of faith and grace which comes from the Word of God is multiplied as our knowledge of the Word increases (1 Peter 1:2).
Therefore it is instructive that we spend quality time with the Word of God in reading, studying, meditating, praying, confessing and praising God, if we are to enjoy the abundant life, the Lord Jesus Christ purchased for us on the Cross of Calvary. All spiritual activities should evolve and be founded on the written Word of God. This is akeen to building up potential energy inside us.
2. Through “ Rhema” we receive instructions and guidance from the Holy Spirit on acting on the "logos" in side us:1 Corinthians 2:9-11, John 14:10,24; Revelation 2:29,3:22
With logos inside us , we are prepared to hear “rhema” from the Holy Spirit on how , what and when to apply the logos and the instructions on what to do to manifest our inheritance we have in Christ in us for abundant and blessed life and to be a channel of blessings to others.
“Rhema” is akeen to converting potential energy to kinetic energy. Through obeying “rhema” , blessings and power in the Word of God are released into our lives and through us to others in the world (John 7:37).The Spirit of God is always speaking “rhema” to us. (Revelation 2:29,3:22)
We have to listen and attend to Him to hear. Take heed what you hear.(Mark 4:24). We have to create the environment to hear from the Spirit through meditation on the Word of God or
on the vision we have received(Acts 10:19), singing songs like in holy solemnity and gladness of heart(Isaiah 30:29), hymns, and speaking psalms to ourselves(Ephesians 5:18) and through praying without ceasing especially praying in the Spirit(1 Corinthians 14:2).
In the last days, there will be a famine of the “rhema” words of the LORD from the Holy Spirit(Amos 8:11-13) and therefore a famine of blessings and power , because people will be wandering from sea to sea, and from the north to the east ,running to and fro to seek the word of the LORD and shall not find it, and the fair virgins and yooung men shall faint for thirst.
Therefore we must give attention to the “logos” or written Word of God and to the “rhema” or the voice of the Holy Spirit to keep and do the Word, manifest our inheritance and be a blessing to the world.”Where there is no vision, the people perish, but he that keepeth the law happy is he(Proverbs 29:18).
Remember the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God, for the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain until now.(Romans 8:19-22)
God bless you as you submit to the Word of God and the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit.

Harvesting Your Blessings: Understanding Your Abraham’s Heritage
Text: Genesis 26:1-14
Our text shows the challenges, the forerunner of Abraham’s heritage, Isaac had in his life. There was famine in the land, Gerar .He using his five senses sought for ways out-leave Gerar to Egypt. Gerar means land of meditation, typifying Zion where we meditate on our blessings and depend on the leadership and direction of the Holy Spirit, while Egypt typifies the World when we apply our five senses based on worldly precepts to reach our goals. He thought by turning to the world and through self effort, he could get out of the famine applying his five senses or that his challenges were as a result of his location or other externalities and influences. The loving Almighty Father, knowing that what he lacked was the knowledge of who he is, and the knowledge of his inheritance from I AM in Abraham, checked him and redirected his focus, attention and consciousness appropriately to the oath which, He, God had sworn to his father Abraham to bless him and his seed after him, and that they will possess the gate of their enemies. With the new consciousness, attention, direction, perspective engrafted in his heart, mind, spirit and soul by the Holy Spirit through meditation as foundation any seed sown yielded hundred fold from God. (Genesis 26:12). Before this understanding came any seed he sowed yielded nothing because there was no foundation or good soil in the heart, mind, spirit and soul to sow the seed on, and the Holy Spirit was not involved, and therefore there was no harvest. All he needed was to commence his outreach of seed sowing for a better life by understanding his inheritance from God through meditation on the Word of God concerning Abraham his father‘s obedience to God the Father and the oath sworn to his father(Genesis 26:3-6). So Isaac connected to his inheritance by obeying God’s instructions to remain in Gerar in Philistines,; meditating on the Word of God and then sowing the seed continually for one year and became very great and was sought after by Kings and other great men because they understood God the Creator of heaven and earth hath blessed him greatly and was with him.
We harvest the blessings from our seed sown by understanding our connection to the Abraham’s heritage through our redemption in Christ, and then do what Isaac did to harvest his blessings.So how do the Gentile believer connect to Abraham’s blessing today? BY FAITH(Galatians 3:9,13-14, 29, 4:28)
Jesus purchased the redemption of the Gentile believer by becoming a curse for us by hanging on a tree to qualify us for the blessing sworn to Abraham on oath by God and giving us the Holy Spirit, the administrator and executor of the inherited blessings of Abraham. Jesus is the Seed of Abraham and the inheritor of Abraham’s blessings (Galatians 3:16,29). Once we receive Christ and become his followers and genuine members of his body, hating evil and departing from evil(iniquities) which He (Christ) came to take away through the shedding of His blood)(Acts 3:26, Matthew 1:21, John 1;29) we become the manifest seed of Abraham, and joint heirs with Christ to Abraham’s blessings and joint heirs of the world.(Romans 4:13).
Now as Isaac is, so we are,(Galatians 4:28) we should then do what Isaac did. What did Isaac do?
a)He meditated on the word of Oath sworn to his father Abraham-his Abraham's inherited blessings and internalized it in his soul, mind, heart and spirit. Therefore he does not need to struggle or seek for blessings in the world (Egypt) but rather to listen to instructions of the Holy Spirit.It is the blessing sworn to Abraham by God through Christ that maketh the believer rich and adds no sorrow(proverbs 10:22)and as the believer seeks the kingdom , the fruit of the blessing include power,riches, honor,strength, wisdom, glory and blessing begin to manifest to be seen by the world and we become blessings to the world.(Revelation 5:12)
b.Put God in remembrance of His promises through heartfelt prayers that makes tremendous power of God available to withstand opposition and make your seed fruitful(James 5:16).Remember Isaac intreated God for his wife Rebecca to be fruitful(Genesis 25:21).Promises and prophecies are made to producethrough warfare(1 Timothy 1:18-19,1 Corinthians 16:9)
c.Sow your seed continuously and keep the dynamics flowing.Let every need provoke in you the need to sow a seed. be more seed conscious than need conscious.(Galatians 6:7-9)
d.Praise and give thanks to God continuously for his mercy and grace of making you a partaker of Abraham's covenant blessings through redemption in Christ, and also for honoring his word of multiplying your seed sown.(Matthew 19:29). Let the earth praise and the earth will yield her increase(Psalm 67:5-7).The environment for multiplication, restoration and increase are created through heartfelt praise.(Hebrews 13:15, Psalm 16:11) or else the tree and branches will wither away (Joel 1:12), because of lack of joy,God forbid.

Abiding in Christ is to Continue daily in His Word
Text:John 15:7, 8:3-32
In our first text Jesus gives the condition for answered prayers: which is to abide in Him and His Word.In our second text, the word "abide" in my Word is rendered " to continue" in my Word, which is the qualification for discipleship of Christ.
Until we continue practicing God's Word we will not be His disciples indeed, and we will not know the truth which shall make us free.
The choice to practice daily the Word of God will make us free from challenges of life and assure answered prayers any time we pray.Once we make the choice to daily practice God's Word, the grace of God is available to enable us continue in His Word and then enjoy our inheritance in Christ.
Haphazard and unstable approach to practicing God's word , rising and falling daily will put the believer in bondage and make it difficult to receive answers to prayers.
God bless you in Jesus Name as you choose to continue in the practice of God's Word daily depending solely on the grace of God which is sufficient for us, alleluia.

Come to Jesus, the Solution Provider to your Challenge
Text:Jeremiah 32:27,Acts 10:36-38,Matthew 11:28-30,28:18,2 Corinthians 1:20
In the Bible, every time faith and the word met and mixed together, profit, blessing, miracle is the result.(Hebrews 4:2, Romans 10:9-10).The woman with the issue of blood heard about Jesus(the Living Word of God) and faith arose in her heart and she said to herself , if I may but touch the helm of his garment, I will be made whole.(Mark 5:25-34). She went looking for the Living Word of God.When they met(faith in the woman and the Living Word of God), blessing resulted.There is nothing too hard for Jesus(the Living Word of God) to accomplish(Jer.32:27).God anointed the Living Word of God-Jesus Christ to heal and to provide the solution to that your challenge(Acts 10:36-38) through His Word.The Living Word of God has a Name called Jesus Christ-the Word of God.His Name means "the Anointed Savior".All power in heaven and in earth had been vested on Him(Jesus).He is Lord of all(everything)(Acts 10:36).The armies of heaven(Revelation 19:14) and angels(Psalm 103:20, Hebrews 1:13-14) are always following the Word of God to execute whatever in the word of grace,faith can lay hold upon.God hastens to perform His Word which the eye had well seen(Jer.1:12).All the promises of God are yes and amen in Him(the Living Word of God).(2 Cor.1:20)
Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior, the Head of the Church has invited everyone with a challenge-that is laboring and with a heavy laden or burden to come to Him-the Living Word of God and He will provide the solution.(Matthew 11:28-30).Blind Bartimaeus(Mark 10:46-52) responded and got his miracle.The Demoniac at Gardarene responded and got his miracle.(Mark 5:6-20). The Centurion responded on behalf of his servant and the servant received his miracle(Matthew 8:5-13). The ten lepers responded and got their miracle.(Luke 17:11-19).The men of Gennesaret responded and they were all healed(Matthew 14:34-36) and many other uncountable miracles due to an encounter of faith residing in the recipient with the Living Word of God.
So it is today that every time we take the Bible to read, study and meditate with a perspective ,consciousness and mindset to receive a blessing or to intercede for somebody, people or nations to receive a blessing; is like we are going to the Living Word of God -Jesus Christ for solution to our challenge.Faith in us will mix with the Word of God as we agree with our inheritance in the Word of God in our thinking and mindset,(aptly demonstrated by our confessions or what we speak, and our actions and attitude running contrary to the prevailing physical circumstances and situation) miracle and blessing will result.In The Bible,no one who went to Jesus, just as a spectator or observer received anything.Only those who went to the Living Word of God with a perspective mindset and consciousness to receive a blessing were able to draw power or virtue from the Living Word to manifest the expected blessings.So it is with us today.Apart from worship time all other times must be to receive our inheritance for others through intercession or for ourselves as the case may be.
The Lord Jesus watches over his Word to perform it.A brethren armed with this understanding who had a health challenge, went to the Word of God with the challenge; read and studied the Bible, prayed and then went to bed.Jesus Christ, the Great Physician appeared to the brethren that night and healed the brethren! Glory to God in the Highest,for His mercy endureth forever. Alleluia.Praise be to the holy, wonderful Name of Jesus Christ.
You are next in line to share your testimony of the encounter of your faith with the Living Word of God, in Jesus Name, Amen. God bless you.

Seeking the Lord in a practical way
Text:Proverbs 8:17,33, Luke 5:16, Psalm 46:10
Jesus always withdrew to a solitary place to seek God, the Father(Luke 5:16).Go to a quiet place.Give thanks,praises and worship to our God.Let your heart be still before the Lord(and not wander about) and focus your whole being on Him.(Psalm 46:10)He knows when we are searching for Him with our heart.He has promised He will respond to us and be gracious and merciful(Jeremiah 29:12-14,Isaiah 30:18,29-31).
God will give us a word from the Bible as we are worshipping Him or speaking the prayer language, and word of wisdom will be given us(1 Corithians 2:7,14:2). We can also experience the shekinah glory of God(2 Chronicles 5:13-14) or a strong witness in our spirit about issues God wants us to know about and deal with. The Lord can also give us a word of knowledge concerning particular issues of the kingdom of God.
As we minister to God, God sees it as love; captivity is removed, restoration comes and favor and blessings are ministered and added to us by Abba Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ(Jeremiah 29:13-14,Proverbs 8:17,33)
Therefore learn to wake up early and seek the Lord-the heaven's radio frequency period, and enjoy the wonderful life changing experience of seeking God while He may be found. God bless you.

Seek the face of the Lord early in the morning
Text:Proverbs 8:17,33
Communication is the greatest asset in love. The best of God is reserved for His lovers.(1 Corinthians 2:9). Seeking God early in the morning is the secret to the believer's triumph in life. (Psalm 27:8, 63:1, Isaiah 26:9) . We are not sufficient in ourselves to pray, to think anything or to do anything (2 Corinthians 3:5, Romans 8:26,4:5, Philippians 2:13).Our sufficiency is of God.
As we seek God early we will never lack ,because we will be lightened and shame will end in our lives(Psalm 34:5),durable riches and honor will be given to us(Proverbs 8:17).The believer should not seek great things but rather seek the great God and the great Savior, Jesus Christ(Matthew 6:33).God is our exceeding great reward and our only and great need.(Genesis 15:2).All we need is found in Jesus Christ, because in Him consist all things(Colossians 1:17,Phillippians 4:19).
Do not focus on achievement, but focus on the Lord Jesus Christ and He will use you to do what He pleases on this earth that belongs to Him. Instead of laboring and seeking for ways out of any challenge, seek the Lord Jesus Christ because He is the way out every wilderness or challenge. He has the solution and is the solution Provider. He knew right before hand that you will be faced with the challenge, and has made a provision for a way of escape. (Acts4:27-29, 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2:9-10).
When you seek Him, He will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).Abundant rest means abundant faith you need for triumph in life. They that believe have entered into their rest (Hebrews 4:3), and Jesus is the Source and the Finisher (who perfects and matures-Hebrews 12:2) of our faith as we seek Him. Faith is our victory over the wickedness in the world and quenches the fiery darts of the devil (1 John 5:4, Ephesians 6:16). As we seek Him He will give us desires and what to pray for.(Psalm 37:4)
As long as King Uzziah sought the Lord, He made him to prosper(2 Chronicle 26:5)
The next blog will teach us how to seek the Lord in a practical way. God bless you

The Power of Confession
Text: Romans 10:9-10, 1 John 1:9, 2 Corinthians 13:1
Another meaning for “Confession” is to “agree with”. So when we confess the word of God , we are actually agreeing with the word of God, and when we confess, we are actually agreeing that we have sinned according to the Word of God. But there is a stark difference between speaking the word and confessing. Many a time we take them to be the same. That is not so. Until I add the word” confess”, or “agree” I have actually not confessed or agree. When I say” I confess Jesus as my Lord and Savior” I mean I agree that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. That is different from me, repeating Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
The Bible says if two of us shall agree as touching anything, God will do it for us.(Matthew 18:19).Infact in 2 Corinthians 13:1, The Bible says in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be confirmed. The word agree there actually means “lending our voice “to the same time.
So learn to add the word “confess or agree” and voice activated the word of God as you make your confession of the Word of grace, and set the angels in motion to deliver the blessing(Psalm 103:20).
God bless you.
Another meaning for “Confession” is to “agree with”. So when we confess the word of God , we are actually agreeing with the word of God, and when we confess, we are actually agreeing that we have sinned according to the Word of God. But there is a stark difference between speaking the word and confessing. Many a time we take them to be the same. That is not so. Until I add the word” confess”, or “agree” I have actually not confessed or agree. When I say” I confess Jesus as my Lord and Savior” I mean I agree that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. That is different from me, repeating Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
