  • OBSTACLES TO ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (5): SORROW

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    OBSTACLES TO ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (5): SORROW

    A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
    Proverbs 15:13 (KJV)

    Whatever breaks your spirit-man breaks your praise. Sorrow is an enemy of praise, and whatsoever stops your praise is an enemy of your destiny. Praises in the mouth of an unhappy man are like songs in the mouth of a pig; it’s a nuisance in the ears of Yahweh. Sorrow does not only break the spirit, it also blocks your access to Yahweh. Many ailments people suffer today are as a result of sorrow of heart. When your heart is broken, your body will soon fall apart. Your physical body is in danger at the instance of prolonged sorrow of heart (depression). There are two basic causes of sorrow in the lives of people:

    1. Hopelessness: Hopelessness is a major source of sorrow. When you become hopeless on any issue, sorrow is the reward you get, it is the prize for hopelessness. Every time you come to the end of the road on any issue (according to your own assessment), sorrow takes over. But listen to this: it is foolishness to be hopeless as a believer in HaMashiach! See what the Word of Yahweh says concerning you: ‘For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.’ (Ecclessiastes 9:4) As long as the Vine is alive, there is hope for the “branches”. Yahushua said: ‘I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.’ (John 15:5). He is the Vine and you are the branches. If you are in Him, the devil cannot make you hopeless. You also have this assurance from Yahweh in the book of Jeremiah: ‘I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.’ [Jeremiah 29:11 (GNB)]

    2. Following other gods. The second source of sorrow in people’s lives is following after other gods. Any other god you have besides the Almighty Yahweh will definitely add sorrow to your life, for it is the blessing of the Lord alone that maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it. Haven’t you heard? “Thou shalt have no other god before me.” That is Yahweh speaking in Exodus 20:3. One of such gods is the god of gold. ‘For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.’ (1 Timothy 6:10-11). When money becomes your god, sorrow becomes your heritage. This is because that thing called money is never enough. When money becomes your source of joy and excitement, you never have stable joy. It waxes strong today, and wanes tomorrow. Money compels spending, so every time it reduces, one’s joy drops. When it rises, a fake and ephemeral joy rises inside the man. And when he keeps having such high and low temperature constantly, Yahweh’s promise of long life is cut short.

    The presence of sorrow is the absence of joy and the presence of Satan and his demons. Anytime you allow sorrow you open the door for demonic oppression by your own self. Sorrow is a great enemy of Yahweh’s presence. Even kings on this earth, appearing before them with sorrow is considered treason with attendant death penalty (see Nehemiah 2:1-2). It was only divine favour that bailed Nehemiah out of death that day. Whenever sorrow is present death become inevitable. Make your choice today. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The presence of sorrow is the absence of divine presence.

    CONFESSION: I am full of joy because I am full of the Holy Spirit. I have no room for sorrow and hopelessness. My expectation is only on the Lord. He is my God and I will love and serve Him alone and experience the wonders of His presence everyday. Halleluyah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I curse every cause of sorrow in you now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (7): IS NOT SELF-SERVING

    CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (7): IS NOT SELF-SERVING

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday June 20, 2022

    CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (7):  IS NOT SELF-SERVING

    … Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; …
    I Corinthians 13:5 (AMP)

    The highest revival any person can experience in this side of eternity is the revival of walking in the Yahweh-kind of love.  It will so transform you to the amazement of even yourself.  You don’t know what true spirituality means until the fruit of love is developed and grows in your life.  The Yahweh-kind of love according to Pa Kenneth Hagin has not been to the divorce court and can never go there because it cannot fail.  Look at our text again, this Yahweh-kind of love does not insist on its own rights or its own way.  Wow!  ‘This is my right and I must have it’ is never the way of this supernatural love.  ‘If it is not my way then there is no way’ attitude is not seen in this Yahweh-kind of love.

    Let me illustrate this.  When we are struggling to love another person, typically we find that the cause, or at least one of the causes, is that that person is doing something that we experience negatively or is failing to do something that we would experience positively: “I can’t love my spouse because he/she keeps doing x, y, and z or never does a, b, or c.”  Whenever we find our feelings reflect this thought, the problem is not that we are struggling to love them.  The problem is that we have forgotten what love is!  Love DOES NOT look to its own things.  Love in no way, shape or form depends upon the actions of others for it to either exist or thrive.  While it may be easier for us to love someone who treats us exactly how we would like to be treated, this is no better a form of love than the most secular humanist can muster up!   Yahushua taught us and commanded us to love even our enemies.  Enemies is a strong word in the scriptures.  We can only do this if we embrace the radical idea that love does not look to her own things.

    Love looks outward and cherishes and pursues what is best for another – whether they love us or hate; however they feel about us or treat us.  This love can still be “tough” and still be love.  But it cannot be vindictive, or petty, calculating, or judgmental in any way.  In fact, love’s ultimate concerns are the agenda of its object.  Love occupies itself with what has the best effect upon another.  Love is not concerned with what has been done for it lately, but always wakes up wondering what it can do for the other today.  This is, after all, precisely how Yahweh in HaMashiach has loved you.  It is still this same love that we are to extend to others.

    REMEMBER:   The Yahweh-kind of love seeks the interest of others.

    PRAYER:    Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today.  I ask for grace to grow and develop the fruit of your love in my spirit.  Help me to be the expression of this love to my world and to reap the benefits thereof in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:    I release grace upon you to walk in the reality of this love in your relationships.  In this season, I declare supernatural supplies for you now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THANKFUL FOR DECEMBER 2021

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday December 31, 2021

    THANKFUL FOR DECEMBER 2021

    Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
    Psalms 31:21 [KJV]

    We have seen the Lord’s goodness, His mercies and compassion! Halleluyah, praise the Lord! Without any iota of doubt, the Lord has been good to us. If you doubt me, take a trip to the hospital or the morgue and see for yourself. You are not better than those in the hospital or mortuary. 365 days is not a joke and the Lord has conquered the days for us. We are immensely grateful Father. What a day! The last day of the month of December. The last day of the year 2021. In a couple of hours we shall arrive 2022 and that in good health and sound mind. What a good God we serve. Taking us all the way from January 1st to December 31st 2021, providing for us, protecting us, preserving us, leading and guiding us. We are here today to say THANK YOU FATHER! For You are good and Your mercies endures forever. Of a truth, I have seen Your mercies and I can confidently say that I do not deserve the least of the loving kindness which has been super abundant towards me and mine all through 2021.

    2021 was declared as HAMASHIACH MY LIFE 2021. In January, we saw that in HaMashiach, prayer and fasting settles all kinds. In February, we saw that our life in HaMashiach is a call of service to the gospel of saving the lost and how it guarantees divine favour for every engaging believer. In March, we discovered that Yahweh’s Word is the material for building us up and giving us the inheritance we have in HaMashiach. In April, we saw that the Ruach HaKodesh in us as a result of receiving HaMashiach makes us wonders on earth. In May, we explored the Wisdom of Yahweh that helps us to redeem the time, thereby maximizing destiny. In June, we saw that prosperity is our portion in HaMashiach. In July, we saw that the Life we have in HaMashiach empowers us to live holy lives thereby making us whole in every area of our lives. In August, we explored the transformation power of the Yahweh-kind of love which brings us into the dimension of what eyes haven’t seen order of testimonies. In September, we studied the explosive power of faith that brings one into the realms of all possibilities. In October, looked at the concept of deliverance divine health and healing. We saw that the new creation is not in need of deliverance from Satan and that the price for our healing was paid same time the price of sin was paid. That means you are not owing Satan and his cohorts nothing. In November, we explored praise with the theme: praise provokes His manifest presence for wonders. This brought us to December, where we saw that the Holy Spirit is committed to leading us into the green pastures of life. What a year!

    It takes a song to invoke Yahweh’s presence and until Yahweh is present you cannot hear His voice of direction. So today, let us be extravagant in praise making demand as we praise the beauty of holiness on the manifest presence of our heavenly Father for direction into 2022. If there are still grey areas please praise Yahweh like mad today until you sense His peace. 2022 shall be your year to be wondered at. It shall be a year to focus 24/7 on soul-winning and through that Yahweh shall announce His saints to heights they would never imagine.

    Happy New Year In Advance!

    REMEMBER: Praise brings His manifest presence that brings His leading.

    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 and this great year, 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 for 365 days. Thank You for Your preservation, provision and supplies. Thank You for inundating us with the Word on divine direction this month. To You alone be all the glory in the Name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Having returned with thanksgiving today, I declare that everything with your name on it still hanging be released now. 2022 shall be your year to be wondered at. There shall be no carry-over of 2021 releases in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • TRAINING YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT (4): PROMPT OBEDIENCE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday December 30, 2021

    TRAINING YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT (4): PROMPT OBEDIENCE

    And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
    Genesis 22:3 (KJV)

    Spiritual things can be slippery. That is why following Yahushua requires all the concentration. Yahushua says that anyone that puts his hands on the plough and looking back is not fit for the kingdom (see Luke 9:62). This Kingdom runs on instructions. Just like the aeroplane runs on instruction, you must be responsive to spiritual instructions or your crash is imminent and inevitable. Every pilot is very prompt to follow instructions from the control towers or its crash is inevitable, same is true for every believer. You must train your spirit to be prompt in obeying scriptural instructions. What must be done today must not be postponed to tomorrow. This is crucial in following divine direction. Train yourself to instantly obey the voice of your spirit which we call conscience. When it corrects you, instantly obey. By so doing, you are training your spirit to recognize the leading of the Holy Spirit and to follow it.

    “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord….” (Prov. 20:27). Your newborn spirit has within it the life and nature of Yahweh. The Holy Spirit dwells within your spirit. “… greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). The Holy Spirit dwells in your spirit. Yahweh has to communicate with you through your spirit because that is where He is. Your spirit gets its information through Him. The trouble with most of us is that we have not learnt to listen and obey our recreated human spirit. Right inside of you is the candle of the Lord – the torchlight of the Lord. The Holy Spirit enlightens your spirit on steps He wants you to take. Most times, it may just be the thing you would rather not do, which most times makes us not to respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. However, if we can learn to instantly obey our spirit, then the Holy Spirit would always lead us into success and peace.

    Learn to obey the voice of your spirit. If you are not accustomed to doing that, of course, you will not get there quickly. As we have said, your spirit can be built up and strengthened just as your body can be built up and strengthened. Your spirit can be educated just as your mind can be educated. But just as you did not begin school in the first grade one week and graduate from the twelfth grade the next week, your spirit will not be educated and trained overnight. However, if you will follow these four points and practice them, after a while you can know the will of Yahweh the Father even in the minor details of life. You will receive guidance and will always instantly get either a yes or a no. You will know in your spirit what you should do in all the affairs of life. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Learn to instantly obey your spirit because your spirit is the candle of the Lord.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask for the grace to instantly obey the voice of my spirit in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As this month and year draws to a close tomorrow, I decree that no blessing designated for this month shall be carried over. IThe grace to instantly obey the leading of the Holy Spirit in your spirit is upon you from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • TRAINING YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT (3): GIVE THE WORD FIRST PLACE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday December 29, 2021

    TRAINING YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT (3): GIVE THE WORD FIRST PLACE

    My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
    Proverbs 4:20 (KJV)

    Train your spirit to give the Word first place in your life. It has to be a conscious effort until it becomes your lifestyle. In every and any situation, train yourself to ask what does the Word say and do it. In your life, if you can follow the Word to the letter, you can never go wrong or be in a fix in your life. In any situation that may come, just be diligent to do what the Word instructs and with utmost guarantee you will come out on the other side in victory. Even if you never heard any voice of the Holy Spirit in your entire lifetime, the Word is the most authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit and if you can give the Word first place in your life, you can be assured that you would always win. Proverbs 4:21-22 says, ‘21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.’

    Yahweh says in this passage, “… Attend to my words [Give heed to them—Put them first]; incline thine ear unto my sayings [Listen to what I have to say]. Let them not depart from thine eyes [Keep looking at the Word of Yahweh]; keep them [my Words] in … your heart.” There are rich dividends for doing this. Why is it that Yahweh tells us to put His Word first, and to listen to what He has to say, to keep looking at His Word, and to keep His Word in our heart? It is because “… they [His Words] are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh.” The margin of the King James says the word translated health is the Hebrew word for medicine. Yahweh’s Word is “medicine to all their flesh.” There is healing in the Word.

    King Asa died because in his pride, he would not put the Word first. II Chronicles 16:12 shows us that even in his sickness, he didn’t seek the Lord. That is a recipe for death. It is not wrong to consult medical doctors/personnel but put the Word first and see if you would still require the services of those people. We should train ourselves to ask ourselves concerning any matter, “What does Yahweh’s Word have to say about this?” We should ask ourselves what Yahweh has to say about anything that may come up in our life—and then put that Word first. Sometimes family and friends will try to rush you into things—but you need to think about what the Word of Yahweh says. Put Yahweh’s Word first in every area of life. Yahushua HaMashiach is either Lord of all or He is not Lord at all. If He is Lord, then put His Word first. Whenever they obeyed His instruction in His earthly ministry, they always returned with testimony. Train your spirit to put the Word of Yahweh first then you would be able to recognize divine direction.

    REMEMBER: If you are not committed to the written Word, you forfeit other kinds of divine direction.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I receive grace to give your Word the first place in my life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As this draws to a close tomorrow, I decree that no blessing designated for this month shall be carried over. I decree the release of the grace to flow in praise and worship as a lifestyle from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • TRAINING YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT (2): PRACTICE THE WORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday December 28, 2021

    TRAINING YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT (2): PRACTICE THE WORD

    But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
    James 1:22 (KJV)

    The essence of reading, studying and meditating on the Word is to do it. It would be an exercise in futility to read, study and meditate on the Word and refuse to do the Word. Even though it has been proved that you cannot be diligent in reading, studying and meditating on the Word without being a doer of the Word because the Word has inherent in it the power to compel obedience. That is why the greatest battle is to read, study and meditate on the Word because the devil knows that if you can diligently get the Word into your spirit, it will compel obedience. You must make up your mind that the Word is your life. Your life and the Word must come into an irrevocable covenant that nothing can ever divorce you both. Your aim must be to come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Word of Yahweh (see Ephesians 4:13). Let me show you the process the Word of Yahweh follows to produce in you what it talks about. The Word when received and believed in the good soil of your heart, produces a reaction that is called faith. This spiritual reaction literally moves you to do what the Word talks about which commits Yahweh’s integrity to perform what He has spoken.

    Isaiah 6:10 says, ‘Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.’ If you can hear with your ears the Word of Yahweh and can see it that is imagine, mutter and meditate until light breaks out on you. This light is the understanding of the heart and will compel and move you to do that Word which will inevitably result in your testimony and change of story. So, for the Word to fail to be practised means that you have not heard it enough and have not seen it, that is the light of the Word has not broken on you, producing lack of understanding of the Word in your heart, all resulting in you not being able to do the Word of Yahweh. If you see the truth of this process, you will never again fail to give all the diligence required to hear, see and understand the Word of Yahweh.

    Matthew 13:23 shows us the place of understanding in doing the Word and the results. “But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” The difference in their output is understanding. The same Word, the same good ground of the heart but understanding made the outcome to vary. Understanding here talks about the level of insight each one had in the Word received. Beloved, you will not have any challenge doing the Word, only if you can see it. May the eyes of your spirit/heart be flooded with rays from heaven (be enlightened) that you may know what is the hope of your calling! (see Eph.1:17-19).

    REMEMBER: When you practice the Word, you are training your spirit to recognize divine direction.

    CONFESSION: The eyes of my heart is flood with rays from heaven producing in me exactly what the Word talks about. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I command the eyes of your heart to be enlightened now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • TRAINING YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT (1): BY MEDITATING ON THE WORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday December 27, 2021

    TRAINING YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT (1): BY MEDITATING ON THE WORD

    And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
    Acts 20:32 [KJV]

    In the school of divine direction, the Word of Yahweh is the constant. Everything is measured against the written Word. The Voice of the Holy Spirit you are yearning to hear is the same voice that wrote the scriptures. If you are not acquainted with the voice of scriptures, you are in big soup trying to access the authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit. The truth is that the Holy Spirit will lead you from the pages of scriptures most times. Psalms 29:3 says, ‘The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters.’ Ephesians 5:26 says, ‘That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,’. So the Word is the spiritual waters and the voice of Yahweh is upon the waters. Rhema is the quickened Word of Yahweh from the Logos – the written Word. So if you are far from the scriptures you deny yourself the major environment upon which you can access the voice of Yahweh.

    Joshua 1:8 says, ‘This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.’ Reading, studying and meditating on the Word is the way to train your recreated human spirit to understand the authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit when it comes. You must be a Word addict to grow up as a son of Yahweh. Sonship connotes coming to the understanding of your Father’s will and the Word is the Will of Yahweh. You can never grow into sonship without an addiction to the Word of Yahweh and until you grow up into sonship, divine direction is not for you. This is very crucial. Let the Word of HaMashiach dwell richly in all wisdom in you so you can train your spirit to know how that voice sounds and what that voice can say and cannot say. For instance, the voice of the Holy Spirit can never reveal to you that you are gay and should marry your fellow man. If you see a vision or hear any voice suggesting that to you, if you are acquainted with the voice of the Holy Spirit in the scriptures, you can quickly know that the Holy Spirit can never speak such thing to you.

    To meditate among others is to mutter. In fact, the Hebrew word is hagah, that was translated meditate means to murmur in pleasure or anger. By implication, that means to ponder, imagine, mutter, roar. To murmur is to repeat something to yourself softly. That is what you are to do with the Word. Speak the Word to yourself softly and indistinctly under your breath. That is how to train your spirit to recognize the leading of the Holy Spirit. Start today and have a schedule to read, study and meditate on the Word. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: An addiction to the Word is required to train your spirit to recognize His leading.

    CONFESSION: The Word of Yahweh is my life. I believe what it says about me in all areas. There is a word for me in the pages of scripture that tackles every issue that may confronts me. I am an addict to the Word and it’s training me into sonship. Glory be Yahweh!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Whatever is forming a distraction to the Word in your life is blasted now by fire in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • ROYAL GIFTS – BOXING DAY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday December 26, 2021

    ROYAL GIFTS – BOXING DAY

    And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
    Matthew 2:11 (KJV)

    The king is born. His star appeared to the Wise men of the East. There must be something about this particular star that informed the kind of gifts that these wise men came with to worship the new born King. Number One, these wise men knew that this star is that of a king because they asked “Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.” (Matthew 2:2). In their study of the Jewish scriptures, these wise men knew that there is a prophecy of the birth of an eternal King of the Jews. They didn’t say king (with small letter), no, they asked of the King of the Jews (with capital letter). Number Two, these wise men knew something of the deity of this new born King. From their country, they set out to go and worship this new born King. That means that they understood that this King is Yahweh. Number three, these wise men knew that this new born eternal King is going to offer his life for humanity. What an insight! So these wise men came to worship this new born King with Kingly Gifts. Let’s see what they are and represent.

    In keeping with this new born King’s royalty they brought Him Gold. Gold is a symbol of royalty. The wealth of a royalty is measured in the Gold treasure of that king. So they brought this new born King Gold to honour His royalty. The truth is that this new born King came to make you royalty. He came to make sons of men, sons of Yahweh, born of Yahweh with the same royal status as He had. Beloved, you are royalty in HaMashiach. Revelation 5:10 says, ‘And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.’ You are to ruin here on earth now and in the millennium. Brace yourself up. You are not a nonentity or just one of the subjects. No, you are a king and priest. You are wealthy. Get up, reign and rule!

    Frankincense is associated with the worship of a deity. It is part of the incense burnt in the tabernacle as specified by Adonai (see Leviticus 2:1). These wise men in recognition of the deity of this new born brought Him frankincense. They acknowledged the deity of this new born just as announced by the angel, that his name shall be called Emmanuel meaning Yahweh with us. This is Yahweh that has come to abide with humanity. That was one level. Then after completing His earthly work, He released the Holy Spirit that is Yahweh in us. Wow! From Yahweh with us to Yahweh in us. What a Saviour! You are now the embodiment of divinity in your humanity.

    Myrrh was a key ingredient in the mixture of spices that were used to prepare bodies for burial (e.g., John 19:39-40). Perhaps the wise men intended this gift as an indication of Yahushua’s humanity and the manner in which he would save his people—namely, that he would die for them (cf. Isaiah 53:5). Beloved, we are celebrating a complete Saviour. Rejoice because His body was broken, so that yours would not. Share a gift with someone today! Happy Boxing Day!

    REMEMBER: The royal gifts paid homage to Yahushua’s royalty, deity and humanity.

    CONFESSION: I am one with HaMashiach. I am in Him and in Him Yahweh is now in me. What a wonderful gift. No wonder, I am such a blessing to my world because am expressing his royalty, deity and humanity to my world. Halleluyah!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree the door of favour opened unto your life and destiny from this day. Gifts shall meet gifts in your hands in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • EXPECT DIVINE VISITATION – CHRISTMAS EVE

    #WordForTodayDevotional


    Friday December 24, 2021

    EXPECT DIVINE VISITATION – CHRISTMAS EVE

    And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
    Luke 1:28 (KJV)

    It takes a divine visitation to establish a great celebration in the lives of people. This is a season of divine visitation and you must not be carried away with the celebration and miss the visitation. It is the visitation that establishes a change of story that leads to the celebration. We are celebrating the result of a great visitation both to the lives of Mary and Joseph in particular and to humanity at large. I desire that you connect to their testimony and ask Yahweh for a visitation to you today that people will read tomorrow and glorify Him. Now it doesn’t matter how bad your situation is, the visitation of Yahweh will give you a change of story. For several years, Elizabeth was called barren but one day in Luke 1:11-20, there was a divine visitation to Zechariah her husband which established a change of story for her. Over the next nine months, the barren become a joyful mother of a prophet by that great visitation.

    Then came the mother of all divine visitations – the visitation that gave birth to salvation for humanity. Let’s read Luke 1:26-38, ‘ 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37 For with God nothing shall be impossible. 38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.’

    Divine visitation secures direction. In this great visitation, Joseph was directed (see Matthew 1:20-21). We have about seven days to arrive 2022 and I would want you to ask Yahweh to grant you divine visitation that would give you clean cut direction for 2022. Merry Christmas Eve!

    REMEMBER: Divine visitation secures destiny direction and fulfillment.

    PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. Thank You for your visitations to Zechariah and Elizabeth and to Joseph and Mary. I ask for a visitation this season that will change my story and bring generational celebration into my life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: In this season, I decree that you shall be visited in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (7): NO PRECONCEIVED OPTIONS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday December 23, 2021

    QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (7): NO PRECONCEIVED OPTIONS

    Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
    Ezekiel 14:3 (KJV)

    Ezekiel 14:4 says, ‘Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;’ Yahweh is saying that don’t come to seek for my direction if you already have option in your heart. You have decided what to do then you come to the Lord and say “Lord, what do you want me to do about so so and so?” Meanwhile, you have already made up your mind on what you are doing. That attitude blocks you from ever accessing divine direction. You must come to the Lord with open mind like a baby who truly does not know what to do concerning the area you are seeking direction from Yahweh. Yahweh says, if you have your preconceived ways and you come to make a fool of God, then He will make a fool of you. He will answer you according to your heart. You know what that means? He will okay whatever you have made up your mind to do even if it will take your life, He would not disturb you. He is answering you according to your heart.

    You must understand that Yahweh sees what is going on in your heart. He is hearing what you are saying but He is also seeing what is going on in your heart. You are saying one thing but another thing is in your heart. “Let me just finish this prayer, I know what I am going to do”. Adonai is also watching you and saying, “You can just go and do that thing in your heart because I am not going to say anything to you, it would be a complete waste of time.” A couple of men came to prophet Jeremiah and asked him to inquire of the Lord for them whether they should go down to Egypt or stay in the land of Israel at a time when the person the king of Babylon placed on the throne was murdered with Chaldean soldiers. So the men sent Prophet Jeremiah to inquire of the Lord for them, they said “That the Lord thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.” (see Jeremiah 42:3) The Prophet obliged them and took their matter to Yahweh. When Yahweh told them through Prophet Jeremiah what to do, because they already had preconceived action, they rebelled (see Jeremiah 43:1-7).

    Having already determined what you want to do in any issue, don’t bother to ask Yahweh because He would answer you according to your heart and it may not be the best for you. So always come before Him bare as someone that truly wants to know what to do and when you have that witness in your spirit, you go ahead and hearken to the instruction. That is the way to go. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Always come with a true heart before Yahweh not having any alternative at all.

    CONFESSION: I am always your baby my Lord and King. I don’t know what to do and where to go. I totally depend on you to lead me to the green pastures of life. I shall not miss you because you are committed to leading me. Glory to Your Holy Name!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: That thing in you that makes you feel that you are sufficient on your own ability without Yahweh is cursed today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
