    THANKFUL FOR APRIL 2024

    And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
    Colossians 3:17 (KJV)

    We are grateful to the Lord for bringing us to the last day of this great month. It has indeed been an eventful one of torrential order of the Word on this platform. We return all the glory to the Lord Yahushua. Being the last day of the month, it is a day of thanksgiving for us at #WordForTodayDevotional. Today we recount all the Lord has done for us and we overflow with thanksgiving. We also reflect on how thanksgiving enhances our operation in the supernatural. Thanksgiving is like a signature in the supernatural. Our opening texts admonishes us that whatsoever you do in word or deed, you must punctuate it with thanksgiving to the Father in the name of the Lord Yahushua. This sounds simple but that is actually why many are cut off from the supernatural manifestation. When it come to prayer and operating in the supernatural, thanksgiving is an inevitable practice. It is an inescapable protocol of this kingdom. In the first place, access to the throne room is only by thanksgiving. Psalms 100:4 says, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” Without thanksgiving, you are not even admitted into the courts of the Father. How can you operate in the supernatural if you are an outsider or operating from the outside.

    Another thought is, whatever you received from the Lord is only sustained by thanksgiving. Then, you cannot be thankful, if you are not joyful. You cannot be joyful if you are not grateful. You cannot be grateful if you are not thoughtful. You cannot be thoughtful and not be thankful. If you cannot think, you cannot thank. The Lord has done so much but until you can sit down and think, you cannot be full of thanks. Deuteronomy 28:47-48 says, “47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.” If you don’t rejoice in the Lord for His mercies, you cannot be thankful. If you are not joyful, you provoke the Lord to destroy even the blessing He has already given you. So your blessing is only sustained in thanksgiving.

    The Lord actually cursed the blessing in the lives of the priest because they failed to return with thanksgiving. Malachi 2:1-2 says, “1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.” Beloved, thanksgiving is your way to the blessings of the supernatural and the only way to sustain them. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Thanksgiving is your way to step into the supernatural and remain there.

    THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, we are not worthy of the least of Your mercies. What shall we say for bringing us to the end of this great month, no loss, no tears, we saw goodness and mercies, abundance of blessings in front and at the back. Thank You for the salvation of my soul. Thank You for the continuous flow of Your Word on this platform. Thank You for Your preservation, provision and supplies. Thank You for opening my eyes to the reality of the supernatural this month. To You alone be all the glory in the Name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As this month ends today, I decree that there shall be no carry-over of April’s blessings to May. I decree that within the remaining hours that you enter practically into all that the Lord has released for you this month. As the month begins to close, I decree that your intimacy with the Holy Spirit enters into new dimensions leading to the harvest of increase, abundance, advantage of the Holy Spirit, favour and glory from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (9): THE INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday, April 29, 2024

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (9): THE INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES

    … to another the interpretation of tongues:
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    The interpretation of tongues is the supernatural showing forth by the Spirit the meaning of an utterance in other tongues. Also, it is not translation of tongues; it is the interpretation of tongues. The gift of interpretation of tongues is the least gift of all of the gifts of the Spirit because it depends upon another gift — divers kinds of tongues — in order to operate. It does not operate unless tongues have been in operation. The purpose of the gift of interpretation of tongues is to render the gift of tongues understandable to the hearers so that the whole church congregation, as well as the one who gave the utterance in an unknown tongue, may know what has been said and may be edified thereby. Paul said, “. . . greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, THAT THE CHURCH MAY RECEIVE EDIFYING” (1 Cor. 14:5). But can’t Yahweh speak to us in some other way in the public assembly? Yes, He can and does. We have other public messages given by the Spirit of Yahweh that are not interpretation of tongues; they are a manifestation of the gift of prophecy. For example, psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs are also given by the Holy Spirit through the gift of prophecy.

    In private prayer it is not necessary that everything we utter in other tongues be clear to our understanding, because Paul said, “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful” (1 Cor. 14:14). Therefore, it isn’t necessary that everything I pray in tongues be clear to my understanding or be interpreted because I am not talking to myself, I am talking to Yahweh. What I pray in tongues is clear to Yahweh and that is sufficient: “For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, BUT UNTO GOD: for no man understandeth him; how-beit in the spirit HE SPEAKETH MYSTERIES” (1 Cor. 14:2). Yet on some occasions Yahweh may desire that we interpret our prayers. Paul suggests this in First Corinthians 14:13: “Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.” There may be times, if it is as the Spirit of Yahweh wills, that we know what we are praying about in tongues in our personal devotions, and Yahweh will give us the interpretation.

    1 CORINTHIANS 14:27 says, ‘If any man speak in an unknown tongue, LET IT BE BY TWO, OR AT THE MOST BY THREE, and that by course; and LET ONE INTERPRET’. In ministering publicly in tongues in any one service, Paul is saying here that it should be done by two or at the most by three people. In other words, only two or three people at the most should participate. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The gift of interpretation of tongues is supernatural interpretation of what was spoken in the manifestation of the diverse kinds of tongues.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As this month is ending tomorrow your supernatural status just escalates to higher dimensions. No carry-over of April blessings in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (8): DIVERSE KINDS OF TONGUES

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday, April 28, 2024

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (8): DIVERSE KINDS OF TONGUES

    … to another divers kinds of tongues? …
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    The word “divers” in First Corinthians 12:10 is italicized, which means that it was added by the translator. Actually, this verse reads, “… to another, kinds of tongues. . . .” However, in another scripture, Paul said that God set in the Church diversities of tongues (1 Cor. 12:28); therefore, we would not be out of line scripturally to say “divers” kinds of tongues, or different kinds of tongues. This utterance gift of tongues is an important gift in that tongues is the door into the supernatural. This doesn’t necessarily mean the gift of tongues is the best gift, for as we indicated previously, the best gift is the gift needed at the moment. The Gift of Tongues Is a Supernatural Sign. Divers kinds of tongues is supernatural utterance by the Holy Spirit in languages never learned by the speaker, nor understood by the speaker, nor necessarily always understood by the hearer. Speaking with tongues has nothing whatsoever to do with linguistic ability; it has nothing to do with the mind or the intellect of man. It is a vocal miracle of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, one reason we speak in tongues is that Jesus said this is one sign which should follow believers. Also, tongues is the scriptural, initial evidence also of the baptism in the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:4). It is important to understand that the gift of tongues is unique to the dispensation of the Church Age.

    Every spirit-filled believer speaks in tongues. In addition to praying in tongues in one’s individual prayer life, it is also true that there is a public side to speaking in tongues. Paul said that not everyone would be used in what we call the public ministry of tongues, for he said in First Corinthians 12:30, “… do all speak with tongues? …” The obvious answer is no because in this verse Paul is talking about the public ministry of diversities of tongues which is a ministry gift denoting more the prophetic office, not the devotional gift of tongues. Some take First Corinthians 12:30 out of its context and conclude that Paul was saying, “Speaking in tongues isn’t for everyone. Therefore, you can be filled with the Spirit without speaking with tongues.” However, again, we must remember that here Paul is talking about the ministry gift of tongues, for he began by saying, “AND GOD HATH SET SOME IN THE CHURCH, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, DIVERSITIES OF TONGUES” (1 Cor. 12:28). Ministry gifts or offices are “set” in the Church by God; they are people called to the fivefold ministry. Then he asked the question in First Corinthians 12:29 and 30, “Are all apostles? . . . No, all are not apostles: Let’s look a little further in verse 30: “. . . do all speak with tongues? . . .” The obvious answer is no. Paul was talking here about fivefold ministry gifts, just as he was talking about fivefold ministry gifts when he asked, “Are all apostles? . . .” (v. 29), and so forth.

    REMEMBER: The gift of diverse kinds of tonguing is a supernatural utterance in tongues not learned by the speaker.

    CONFESSION: My prayer is enriched by the gift of tongues. It deepens my relationship with the Spirit and opens the door of the supernatural for me. Thank You Lord for this gift in my life. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I curse whatever is retarding your intimacy with the Holy Spirit in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (7): PROPHECY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday, April 27, 2024

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (7): PROPHECY

    … to another prophecy? …
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    Prophecy is supernatural utterance in a known tongue. The Hebrew meaning of the phrase, “to prophesy” is to flow forth. It also carries with it the thought: to bubble forth like a fountain, to let drop, to lift up, to tumble forth, and to spring forth. The Greek word that is translated “prophesy” means to speak for another. So “prophesy” can mean to speak for Yahweh or to be His spokesman. In First Corinthians 14:1 we read: “Follow after charity [love], and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may PROPHESY.” We are told to desire spiritual gifts, but especially that we might prophesy. That doesn’t mean we are not to desire the other gifts, but we are to especially desire to prophesy. Again, at the end of First Corinthians chapter 14, Paul repeated, “Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy …” (1 Cor. 14:39). Paul was writing by the inspiration of Yahweh. We could say it this way: Yahweh through Paul spoke to the Church at Corinth (and it applies to the Church everywhere) to desire spiritual gifts, but rather that we may prophesy (1 Cor. 14:1,39).

    There is Foretelling and there is Forth Telling. The simple gift of prophecy should not be confused with the prophetic office or with prophetic utterance that may come forth in the prophet’s ministry. Paul said, “But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” (1 Cor. 14:3). Thus, we can readily see that in the simple gift of prophecy there is no revelation. The simple gift of prophecy is given for edification, exhortation, and comfort. In the office of the prophet, however we very often find that revelation or foretelling does come forth, even through the vehicle of prophecy. It is also interesting to note the difference between prophecy in the Old Testament and prophecy in the New Testament. In the Old Testament prophecy was essentially foretelling, but in the New Testament we see that the gift of prophecy shifts strongly to forth telling. Prophesying Is More Than Preaching. Some people think that “to prophesy” means to preach. All inspired utterance is prophecy in some form or another, but the spiritual gift of prophecy isn’t preaching. Sometimes there is an element of prophecy in preaching when a person is anointed by the Spirit and is inspired to say things spontaneously that come from his spirit rather than his head. But that is only one phase of the operation of the gift of prophecy.

    The utterance gifts are liable to abuse and misuse more than the other gifts of the Spirit. That is why there is need to sound a note of caution. You must not prophesy. If you have to prophesy make sure that it is not from self. I Corinthians 14:32 says, ‘And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.’ The manifestation of the gift of prophecy is as the Spirit wills, not as you will. Don’t open up to unclean spirits just because you want to prophesy. Caution!

    REMEMBER: The gift of prophecy is supernatural utterance in a known tongue.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: You are delivered today from a deception in the name of prophecy in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (6): THE WORKING OF MIRACLES

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday, April 26, 2024

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (6): THE WORKING OF MIRACLES

    To another the working of miracles? …
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    The Working of Miracles can be defined as the supernatural intervention of Yahweh in the ordinary course of nature. A miracle is a supernatural act on a natural plane. When the working of miracles is in manifestation, there is a divine intervention in the ordinary course of nature. For example, the dividing of a stream by the sweep of a mantle is an example of the working of miracles in operation (see 2 Kings 2:14). After Elijah ascended to heaven in a chariot in the whirlwind, Elisha received his mantle and smote the Jordan River. Dividing the waters by a sweep of his mantle was the working of miracles because that was a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature. In the area of healing, many times miracles are received, but this is not necessarily the working of miracles; they are simply called healing miracles. Everything that Yahweh does is miraculous in a sense, but receiving healing by supernatural means is not a miracle in the same sense that turning common dust into insects just by a gesture is a miracle (see Exodus. 8:16), or turning common water into wine just by speaking a word is a miracle (see John 2:7-11). Those two occurrences are examples of the working of miracles.

    Water turned into wine by the ageing process, or the process of nature, is a natural phenomenon. But water turned into wine just by speaking a word, as Jesus did (John 2:1-11), is a miracle according to our definition — a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature. A miracle, therefore, is a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature, a temporary suspension of the accustomed order, or an interruption in the system of nature as we know it, operated by the power of the Holy Spirit. The working of miracles is used to display God’s power and magnificence. In Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Bible, the Greek word for “miracles” in First Corinthians 12:10 is “dunamis,” and can also be translated acts of powers. In other words, the working of miracles could also be called the working of acts of powers. According to the Greek concordance, the Greek word also means, explosions of almightiness or impelling, staggering wonders or astonishments. In other words, the Greek could read, “To another the working of impelling, staggering wonders or astonishments, or the outworkings of explosions of almightiness and acts of powers.”

    The Working of Miracles is the mighty power of Yahweh flowing through a person. Oh how I desire that everyone of us will position in intimacy with the Holy Spirit and have this power flow through us. How much our world is in need of the manifestation of this power. Romans 8:19 says “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” They are waiting for the manifestation of the power of Yahweh. Can we yearn for the manifestation of this power?

    REMEMBER: The working of miracles is the manifestation of the almightiness of Yahweh intervening in the ordinary course of nature.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I release that power over your life today. Receive divine intervention in that situation now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (5): THE GIFTS OF HEALING

    #WordforTodayDevotional

    Thursday, April 25, 2024

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (5): THE GIFTS OF HEALING

    … to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit?
    I Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)

    The gifts of healing are manifested for the supernatural healing of sickness and disease without any natural source or means. As I’ve mentioned, every one of these nine gifts of the Spirit are supernatural. The gifts of healing have nothing to do with medical science or human learning. Doctors and medical science are natural means of healing. The gifts of healing and the other methods of divine healing are supernatural. The healing that is supernatural doesn’t come by diagnosis or by prescribing treatment. Divine healing comes by laying on of hands, anointing with oil, or sometimes just by speaking the Word, just to name a few examples from the Word of how healing is ministered. I believe in natural healing and I thank Yahweh for it. I think one of the greatest areas in medical science, and one in which the greatest strides have been made, is in the field of preventive medicine. But not only do I believe in natural healing, I also believe in supernatural, or divine healing.

    You can receive healing by standing on the Word of Yahweh. There is a difference between receiving healing through the manifestation of the gifts of healing and just simply receiving healing by our own faith in the Word. Both are scriptural ways to receive healing. One can stand on the Word of Yahweh and be healed on their own. However, gifts of healing are manifested through another person to you. The difference is the channel through which they are manifested. The gifts of healing is a ministry gift to the body of HaMashiach. Not all have this ministry. I Corinthians 12:28-30 says, ‘28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?’ The obvious answer to that question is no. All are not apostles. All do not have gifts of healing. These spiritual gifts are given as the Spirit wills. It is not an achievement but an engracement. Intimate walk with the Holy Spirit places you at a better position to have these gifts manifested through you.

    When in need of healing, you can just believe the Word of Yahweh and act on the Word and you will be healed because it is the anointing that breaks the yoke (see Isaiah 10:27) and the anointing is on the Word. This is also the reason why every believer must belong to a local Church. In the local Church, there must be somebody that the Holy Spirit uses to minister that gifts of healing, so you can have the person lay hands on you when challenged with sickness and be healed. But you know you cannot be sick dwelling in Zion (see Isaiah 33:24; Hebrews 12:22). Selah!

    REMEMBER: The gifts of healing are supernatural method the Spirit brings healing to His people.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I stand on the Word and I command that spirit of infirmity ravaging your body to expire now by fire in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen! BE HEALED!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (4): FAITH

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday, April 24, 2024

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (4): FAITH

    To another faith by the same Spirit? …
    I Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)

    Beginning from today, we shall discuss another three gifts we have categorized as the power gifts. The power gifts comprise of the gift of faith, the gift of healing and the working of miracles. They are categorized as power gifts because they do something. Let us discuss the gift of faith. The Amplified Bible reads, “To another (wonder-working), faith . . .” (1 Cor. 12:9). This gift of the Spirit is also called special faith. The Gift of Special Faith Is Not the Same as Saving Faith. Every believer already has general faith or saving faith, which is also a gift. Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” The faith that you are saved by is a gift of God, but it is not one of the nine gifts of the Spirit. Saving faith is given to you through hearing the Word, because the Bible says, “So then faith [saving faith] cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17). The faith which we are talking about today — special faith — is something other than general faith or saving faith. It is a supernatural manifestation of the Holy Spirit whereby a believer is empowered with special faith, or wonder-working faith, and it is beyond simple saving faith.

    The gift of faith is a gift of the Spirit to the believer in order that he might receive miracles. The working of miracles, on the other hand, is a gift of the Spirit given to the believer that he might work miracles. One gift receives, the other does something. It is also important to note that all of the gifts of the Spirit operate by faith — by ordinary faith on the part of the believer through which the gift is being manifested. In other words, a person must step out in faith and yield to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. That’s where simple faith is involved. This ordinary faith is the faith that comes by hearing God’s Word. Therefore, the gifts of the Spirit do not operate by the gift of faith, but they do operate by general or ordinary faith. Remember, the Bible says, “. . . If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23). The gift of faith — special faith — is also distinct from the faith that is a fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22). We read about the fruit of the Spirit, one of which is faith, in Galatians chapter 5. However, in the original Greek, the word “faith” in Galatians 5:22 could be translated faithfulness. The fruit of the Spirit are for character; the gifts of the Spirit are for power. Fruit is something that grows. Faith — or faithfulness — is a fruit that grows in the life of a Christian to establish him in godly spiritual character.

    As you stay connected with the Holy Spirit, He will deem it fit to manifest this faith that will empower you to act and receive supernatural manifestation in your life and in the lives of others. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The gift of faith is a supernatural manifestation of the Holy Spirit that empowers you to receive miracles.

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (1): THE WORD OF WISDOM

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday, April 21, 2024

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (1): THE WORD OF WISDOM

    For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom?
    I Corinthians 12:8a (KJV)

    The gifts of the Holy Spirit are given as He wills. It is not within the will of the believer to manifest any gift because the manifestation is according to the will of Yahweh by His Spirit. Today, let us look at the gift of the Word of Wisdom. The first thing to know is that it is not the gift of Wisdom. It is the gift of the Word of Wisdom, there is a difference. The gifts of the Spirit are given supernaturally. It is never a function of natural wisdom. Another important fact is that the Lord is the all wise God and the only wise God (see I Timothy 1:17) but He only reveals a part of it to man – that which He wants him to know at a given time. So, this is Yahweh sharing a word of wisdom with you at a given time according to His will. The Word of Wisdom Is Not Wisdom in the Affairs of Life. The word of wisdom is confused many times with simple wisdom in the affairs of life, but simple wisdom in the affairs of life is not a spiritual gift. In the beginning of Joshua’s ministry, Yahweh told him that the key to his success would lie in meditating on the Word of Yahweh, and that is how Joshua was to obtain wisdom in the affairs of life (see Joshua 1:8). There is a wisdom that is gained through the knowledge of Yahweh’s Word but that is not the supernatural manifestation of the gift of the Word of Wisdom.

    The word of wisdom is a supernatural revelation by the Spirit of Yahweh concerning the divine purpose and plan in the mind and will of Yahweh. The word of wisdom is the best gift because it is a revelation concerning the plans and the purposes in the mind of Yahweh. The Word of Wisdom always speak about the future. This is the difference between the Word of Wisdom and the Word of Knowledge. A word of wisdom may be manifested through the vehicle of prophecy in any Spirit-filled believer’s life in his own private prayer life, as the Spirit wills, as the believer prays out the plan of Yahweh for his own life (see John 16:13,14). Therefore, the word of wisdom can come through the vocal gift of an utterance — through prophecy or through tongues and interpretation. The word of wisdom can also come through a vision or by a dream. For instance, in the Old Testament, Joseph received a word of wisdom through a dream which revealed to him Yahweh’s plans and purposes for Joseph’s future. Moses received the revelation of the Law by an audible Voice as Yahweh gave him the Law. The Law concerned Yahweh’s purpose for Israel; therefore, this was the word of wisdom in demonstration.

    As you are in the Spirit, being spiritually minded, the Holy Spirit can deem it necessary to bring you the Word of Wisdom concerning your life, people, city or the world. It is as He wills. Your own part is to ensure that you are in the Spirit, saturated by the Word. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The Word of Wisdom is the supernatural revelation of divine purpose and plan.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to maintain connection always with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive according to His will at anytime in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Whatever in your life that is working against your spirituality is cursed today. I decree your spiritual perception comes alive from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO OPERATE IN THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE (6): THE ROD OF THE WORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday, April 20, 2024

    HOW TO OPERATE IN THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE (6): THE ROD OF THE WORD

    And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
    Exodus 4:17 (KJV)

    The rod is the Word. Proverbs 22:15 says, ‘Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.’ II Timothy 3:16 says, ‘All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:’ This rod is the inspired Word which brings correction, reproof, doctrine and instruction in righteousness. As you are instructed in the Word, it begins to lead you into triumphant procession in HaMashiach (see II Corinthians 2:14). So, the Word brings you instructions first, then correction to help you align. When you are aligned, it becomes the sickle of harvest of miracles, signs and wonders. If you desire to walk in the supernatural, you must be a person of the Word. You are barren of signs without the Word. Like every weapon, you need training on how to use it. Being in the Word, trains you to use the Word to work signs. There is a gift of the Holy Spirit called “the working of miracles” (see I Corinthians 12:10). Miracles are worked with the Word. It is scriptural calculus that results in signs and wonders. In mathematics, there is a branch that is concerned with limits and differentiation and integration of functions, it is called calculus. It requires some expertise of the elementary mathematics, then some mastery of the secondary mathematics where you deal with algebra and so, before you come into the dimension of calculus.

    Beloved, that is exactly how the supernatural works. You require trainings in the Word to grow from one level of the supernatural to another. There is a level where you can only deal with headaches, there is another level where you can handle terminal cases like cancer and others. There is also another level where you can see creative miracles like amputated hands and feet growing out before you. The difference in these dimensions in the supernatural is the rod of the Word and knowing how to use it effectively. It is proficiency in the use of the rod of the Word that determines your the level of operation in the supernatural. Whatever takes you away from the Word is killing your position in the supernatural. “You shall take this rod in your hand” is the instruction of our Father. If you desire to do signs and have it the way you want it, then, you must take this rod in your hand. It must be handy to you. That is you must come to that point where you don’t need to open your Bible to release the Word. It is handy always.

    Program your life on the Word. Let the Word dwell richly in you, not sparingly (see Colossians 3:16). It takes rich intake to have the Word dwell in you richly. But the assurance is that the Word does not fail, cannot fall to the ground (see Matthew 5:18). Go ahead and engage it today. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The Bible revealed to you is your rod to do signs both in your life and in the harvest field.

    CONFESSION: I can never be sick. I can never be broke. I am in charge in my territory. I am reigning and ruling by the rod of the Word. Praise the Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Your ordeal with that torment in your body is over today. I declare the rod released into your hands today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO OPERATE IN THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE (5): THE NAME OF YAHUSHUA

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday, April 19, 2024

    HOW TO OPERATE IN THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE (5): THE NAME OF YAHUSHUA

    And these signs shall follow them that believe? In my name shall they cast out devils? they shall speak with new tongues?
    Mark 16:17 (KJV)

    The name of the Lord Yahushua is the rod of signs and wonders in the supernatural. Everything happens only in the name of the Lord Yahushua. If you want to operate in the supernatural, then, you must come to understand and walk in the reality of the name of the Lord. There is only one name that is given among men whereby we must be saved. If you are not saved, you are not a candidate to operate in the supernatural. You must know that salvation is your ticket to function in this kingdom and it is only in the name of the Lord Yahushua that you must be saved. Acts 4:12 says, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Salvation is your introduction and induction into the supernatural. Remember that the supernatural is the preserve of the Holy Spirit and if you have followed this devotional this month, you would have understood that your first encounter with the Holy Spirit is at new birth. So, the name of the Lord Yahushua is your access into the supernatural, without which you cannot be saved. Everything in heaven, on earth and in hell has been ordered to only obey and respond to the name of the Lord Yahushua. When you speak in the name of the Lord Yahushua, all forces in all realms are bound to obey you.

    Matthew 28:18 says “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Power to compel the obedience of forces in all realms resides in the name of the Lord Yahushua. That is why, there is no operation in the supernatural without the sanction of the name of the Lord Yahushua. That name is the commander-in-chief of the supernatural. Even nature obeys that name. In Matthew 8:27, we see this in practice, “But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!” At the name of the Lord Yahushua, natural forces are arrested. Beloved, you are supposed to be living in the name of the Lord Yahushua. That implies that you should do all things in the name of the Lord. Colossians 3:17 says so, “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” When you begin to live this way, nothing can resist you successfully. Never!

    Proverbs 18:10 says, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” That is to say that your protection and preservation is in the name of the Lord Yahushua. Begin to consciously live in the name of the Lord Yahushua. As you are about to go out for the day, say, “I go in the name of the Lord Yahushua and everything aligns in my favour”. That is how it works! Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The name of the Lord Yahushua is the rod with which you work signs.

    CONFESSION: The name of the Lord is the commander-in-chief in all realms. I am reigning and ruling by the authority of that name. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Everything harassing your life and destiny is destroyed today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
