Your marital unsettlement ends today. Every force saying that you will not be settled maritally expires by fire now. Enough is enough for that status of unmarried singlehood. Today that spell is broken by the power of the Holy Spirit. I decree your husband/wife to locate you before this week runs out. Let the zeal of the Lord God of Israel accomplish this. Every verdict that you will never experience peace in your family expires today. I decree peace like river in your family from this day. Let the honey of marriage return back to your family now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. I Corinthians 2:12 (KJV)
We are going to start discussing the spirits of the last days. These are the spirits that will take the hold of people causing them to function in ways that fulfill the purpose of Satan of luring many to the flames of hell. There is a warning for us in I Timothy 4:1 about the last days, ‘Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;’ The Holy Spirit is warning us against these last days spirits. We shall start today discussing the spirit of the world. This is the spirit that works disobedience in the children of men. Ephesians 2:2-3 says, ‘2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.’ This spirit powers the lusts of the flesh, the pride of life and the lust of the eyes. 1 John 2:15-16 says, ‘15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.’ It is the spirit of fashion. When you enjoy wearing cloths that do not cover your body well, exposing your private parts, you are under the manipulation of the spirit of the world. When you cannot attend service because your football club is playing, you are under the influence of this wicked spirit. You are living your life to show them that you have arrived, you are already taken into the custody of this spirit.
This spirit makes you make gratification your god. You can do anything to gratify your flesh. This spirit governs the operation of pride. As subtle as it appears most times, pride of life is the work of the spirit of the world. It makes you want to live above your means just to impress. So many people are in debt today, because the spirit of the world has gained an inroad into their lives. What is a man doing with two cars when he is only starting in life and business? Meanwhile, he is borrowing here and there to raise capital while all the while committing a capital sin! The spirit of the world is tormenting him. The capital he is looking for is what he is parking at home or even driving just to show off.
The spirit of the world has destroyed many families. The woman wants everything money can buy, until she wears the man out. That is the lust of the eyes. A man or woman who wears clothes bought on credit is under the captivity of the spirit of the world—the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes. To see a wristwatch that is worth thousands of dollars and go for it, while other pressing issues are left unattended to is a sure sign of this manifestation of this wicked spirit.
That spirit got a hold of Judas and he sold his master. Luke 22:3 says, ‘Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.’ Rebellion is a demonic activity perpetrated by evil influences. These are not natural forces. They are essentially spiritual, demonic, and satanic forces, aimed at men’s destinies, to destroy them. You will not be destroyed in Jesus name!
REMEMBER: This spirit powers the lust of the flesh, eyes and the pride of life.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I ask for the grace to continue to live by your Word in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree your deliverance now from the operation of the spirit of the world in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; I Thessalonians 4:3-4 (KJV)
Many times we are perplexed about knowing the will of God. We want to know what the will of God is for our lives. The problem is that we are looking for the spectacular while all the time neglecting the supernatural. The word of God is supernatural even though it may not be spectacular for most. The Will of God is not strange and also not mysterious. It is not in heaven so that you would wonder how to get it, it is the Word of God. Taking the Word of God and living by it is the Will of God for you. The text we are considering today is one of those that in clear terms stipulated what the Will of God is for you. Sanctification in our text today is the Greek word “hagiasmos”. It is same word translated holiness. It means to set apart, to consecrate, to purify. The will of God for you is that you are separated unto Him. To be separated unto God is to come into an emotional relationship with the Lord Jesus where He becomes the first and foremost consideration in everything that relates to you. It is to come into a love relationship with the Lord. Firstly, it means that you have received the gift of righteousness. Secondly, that you have consciously made the decision to separate your physical body for the use of the Lord only.
“That you should know how to possess your vessel in sanctification and honour”. In this context of I Thessalonians 4:4, vessel is talking about the wife and because the man and his wife are one, it is also talking about his body. It says that you should abstain from fornication. That means that you should know how to take control of your body in such a manner that it is not given to fornication but to the Lord. This is saying that we should be separate bodily unto the Lord. Come to the point that you have settled it in your heart as a result of your love for the Lord that your body is completely for the glory of God, wholly consecrated to Him. This is the will of God for you. Why is the Lord concerned about your body? Because 1 Corinthians 6:15-20, ‘ 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.’
Your sanctification in body is the will of God, so please don’t play with that. You become unusable in the hands of God if this area is not concretely in place.
REMEMBER: Your sanctification in body is the will of God for you.
CONFESSION: Sin does not have dominion over me. The sanctification work of the Holy Spirit is at work in my spirit, soul and body, making me a usable instrument in the hands of the Lord. Glory be God!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every form of defilement in your spirit and body is cursed today. Receive grace to clean up and remain sanctified in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14 (KJV)
Before when grace has not been revealed, man was helpless against sin, Satan and sickness. He was dominated by all these because of his treason against God in Eden. The nature of sin was his natural environment. It was not possible for him to live a life of righteousness because that nature was alien to him. He can do good sometimes but cannot sustain a good conscience. Then the law came as a school master (guide) to lead man back to God but could not do anything about the nature of sin. The law revealed the consequences and incentives for obedience but could not help with the nature of sin. The dominion of sin was what the law could not handle because it would take only the intervention of God to terminate the dominion of sin hence man was a lawful captive. He willingly submitted his authority and allegiance to the devil thereby acquiring the nature of sin from the devil. Dominion means power through legal authority. For every unbeliever, sin and Satan have dominion over him/her because of the legally handing authority over to the Devil at the fall.
Oh Hallelujah! Something else happened! Grace and truth came and delivered man from his predicament. John 1:17 says, ‘For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.’ Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ and on the wings of grace, dominion was restored to man. Before living in sin was the natural disposition of man but at the arrival of grace, the dominion of sin over man was broken and a new life came into force that gave man back the power of choice which he lost in Eden. Now living in sin is a choice not the inevitable. If anybody continues to live in sin after encountering grace, it is no more as a result of what he cannot control but because it is now his choice. This is the reason why you will be judged not because of sin but because you chose to live that way. When Christ Jesus came with grace and truth, the power of sin over man was broken once and for all. Now sin does not have dominion of anybody.
When you say that you cannot help living in iniquity, it shows that the deception of Satan is at work in your mind. The devil can go on deceiving whosoever does not care to identify with the truth. That would not be because grace and truth hasn’t accomplished the task but because he has chosen to be deceived by the devil. Satan does not have power any more but the power of deception. Ecclesiastes 12:14 says, ‘For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.’ You are going to be judged because you have the power to choose to live in sin or sin-free. You have no excuse at all. You have the power to live sin-free that is why I John 3:6,9 says, ‘6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.’ As long as you chose to abide in Christ, your triumphs over sin is eternal. Selah!
REMEMBER: New Birth gives you dominion over sin.
CONFESSION: I am the offspring of the Word of God, ruling and reigning in life by Christ. I am seated with Christ in the heavenly realm far about sin, principalities, powers and dominions. Sin shall not have dominion over me. Hallelujah!!!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: Grace to rule and reign over sin is released upon your life now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. I Thessalonians 4:7 (KJV)
Holiness is from the Greek word ‘hagiasmos’ which is from ‘hagiazo’ meaning to make holy, purify or consecrate. Our recreated human spirit was created in righteousness and true holiness (see Ephesians 4:24) So we are called unto holiness because we were recreated holy and it is only natural for us to maintain who we are. It came to a point in the lives of the church in Ephesus when they acclimatized with the world around them forgetting who they were created to be. Apostle Paul had to write them to be renewed in the spirit of their mind and to put on the new man. To put on the new man is another way of saying be conscious of the new man you were made to be. When you become conscious of that new man that was created in righteousness and true holiness, it will help you to begin to lay off the things that are not consistent with that life in your spirit. If truly you are born again, you were recreated in righteousness and true holiness, so not living holy should be very alien to you. In fact, it should be impossible not to live holy. The problem many believers have is acclimatization with the world. It is evil communication that corrupts good manners. So many believers have lived with the world so much that they have lost their identity trying to identify with the world. Whenever sin becomes attractive to a believer, he/she has fallen from grace and if he/she would not retrace their steps quickly, they will become lost in the world.
Holiness is the nature of righteousness that consecrates us and sets us apart from the world. It is the lifestyle that we have in Christ that makes us to venerate God, hallow Him, be holy and sanctified in our actions. We can live holy because our new man was created in righteousness and true holiness. If you are struggling with a sinful lifestyle, go back to Christ Jesus in repentance and receive cleansing, then begin to renew the spirit of your mind with the Word of God and walking in the consciousness of the nature of righteousness which you received at salvation. Make sure that on a daily basis you are renewing your mind with the Word of God because you will soon become what you think about. If the Word of God is what you are thinking about, you will soon become it. This is the principle that cannot be broken. So many are struggling with sin because of the nonsense that they gabbage into their mind and because you will soon become the attitude of your mind, if it is sin and sinful thoughts that fills your mind, you will have no choice but to start manifesting it.
When the Word says in Romans 12:2 that you should be transformed by the renewing of your mind, it is saying that your transformation is only to the extent of the Word of God that you expose your mind to. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says that as we look at Him as in a glass we are changed into the same image as by the Spirit of the Lord. This is the secret of maintaining your holiness nature. Beloved, there is no need to keep struggling when you should be reigning and ruling. Sin should not have dominion over you again because you are now a new creation in Christ Jesus. Cheer up and wake up! The days of defeat are over in your life. It is time to live true to your nature of holiness. Shalom!
REMEMBER: Holiness is the nature of your recreated human spirit. Live to that consciousness.
CONFESSION: I am a new creation in Christ Jesus with the very nature of God, the nature of righteousness and true holiness. I am reigning and ruling over sin. Glory be God!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I declare that sin shall no longer exert dominion over you in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

Let’s return with thanksgiving to the Lord as we declare “Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your goodness and mercies all through the week. Thank You for protection, preservation, provisions and peace round about me and mine. Thank You for Your hand upon me. Thank You for the success, breakthrough and help You gave me this week. Thank You for victory over enemy agenda. To You alone be all the glory in Jesus Name Amen!” This new week shall pour oil of abundance upon you.
And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Genesis 15:6 (KJV)
Righteousness is the nature of God that we received the moment we got born again; the moment we believed God’s provision – Christ Jesus. Righteousness is that very nature of God that made God God. It is the gift of God bestowed upon the believer. Righteousness is received by faith. Abraham believed God and it was reckoned to him for righteousness (see Genesis 15:6). Righteousness is a gift that cannot be achieved by our works. Righteousness imparts upon the believer the confidence to stand before God without feeling inferior, or tongue-tied. Righteousness is the nature of God that the Holy Spirit imparts to our recreated human spirit at new birth. This righteousness we are talking about is ‘Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:’ (Romans 3:22). The standard of God is so high that man cannot achieve it. The best our righteousness can be is a filthy rag before God (see Isaiah 64:6). So, whenever we are talking about righteousness, please don’t even try to fit your conduct and practices into it, weighed in a balance, it is like a smelling rag before God. You must be willing to accept the precious gift of righteousness by surrendering your life to Christ.
Having received this nature of righteousness, it begins to bear fruits in our lives. Galatians 1:11 puts it this way, “Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.” We are expected to bear fruits of righteousness. John the baptist told the people that came to his baptism to bear fruits worthy of repentance (see Luke 3:8). It is still the same fruits of righteousness that he was talking about there. What are these fruits of righteousness? Galatians 5:22-24 says, ‘22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.’ The fruit of the Holy Spirit that the recreated human spirit bears are the fruits of righteousness that Galatians 1:11 was talking about. These fruits are as a result of your new birth not the determinant, there is a difference. Nothing can ever qualify you for the gift of righteousness but having received that gift, you are to live accordingly bearing the fruits thereby.
This is where many people disconnect in the school of the Word of righteousness. So many people wants to qualify for salvation. They want to be super-being that earned their salvation. They believe that you cannot be saved just like that without doing something; without ‘living right’. It is like asking a dog to roar like a lion. It is impossible no matter how long you train the dog, its nature forbids it to roar like a lion. Living right is natural for the man that has received the righteousness of God and is conscious of the workings of that gift in his life. Bearing the fruits of righteousness comes natural to the recreated spirit. He is not living right to be saved, no. He is living right as a result of salvation that he has received. I hope that is clear. Selah!
REMEMBER: Righteousness is the nature of God imparted to you at new birth.
CONFESSION: I am an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ. I have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and I am bearing the fruits of righteousness in my life on daily basis bringing praise and glory to the Father in the name of Jesus! Hallelujah!!!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I release the grace to bear the fruits of righteousness in your life now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen.
