  • SICK? CHECK FOR UNFORGIVENESS

    SICK? CHECK FOR UNFORGIVENESS

    And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
    Matthew 18:34 (KJV)

    In Matthew 18:21-35, an interesting discussion with Yahushua and his disciples ensued. It started by Apostle Peter asking Yahushua, ‘how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?’ (vs 21). The Lord Yahushua answered him ‘I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.’ (vs 22). He then went ahead to tell them that the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, which was settling accounts with his servants. One was brought to him who owed him 10,000 talents and as he did not have anything to pay his debt, the king commanded that he, his wife, children and all that he had be sold and debt recovered. This servant fell down and worshipped this king saying “lord have patience with me, and I will pay you all.”(vs 26). The lord of that servant was moved with compassion and loosed him and forgave him the debt. But this same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a 100 pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying “Pay me that you owe.” His fellow servant fell down at his feet begging him saying, “Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.” but he wouldn’t be persuaded but went and cast him into prison till he should pay the debt. When his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sad and came and told their lord. Then his lord sent for him and said “You evil servant; I forgave you all that debt because you begged me, should you not have had compassion on your fellow servant even as I had on you?” His lord was angry and delivered him to the tormentors till he should pay all that he owed him. The Lord Yahushua concluded this story by saying, ‘So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.’(vs 35).

    Notice that this servant’s unwillingness to forgive, secured him being delivered into the hands of tormentors. You can be sure that sickness and disease are one of those tormentors that is released upon the presence of unforgiveness. This is very critical. When you are attacked by sickness, you must check if there is any unforgiveness in your heart. Is there anybody that you have not forgiven. Is there anybody that you are still holding in your heart. The things he/she did to you is so big that you cannot let go. That unforgiveness qualifies you to be visited by tormentors. You forgive not for the benefit of the offender but for your own benefit. That is why you should not be waiting for someone to come and apologize before you forgive. Be prepared to forgive even if they are unwilling to apologize. Offer what we call “advance forgiveness”. It is for your good beloved to live that way.

    REMEMBER: Unforgiveness revokes the forgiveness already given to you.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I receive grace to forgive anyone that has sinned against me and to live in advance forgiveness from today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive grace to forgive today and I decree every tormentor operating in your life checked back to hell now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE NATURE OF SIN (2): OFFERS TEMPORAL PLEASURE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday August 4, 2023

    THE NATURE OF SIN (2): OFFERS TEMPORAL PLEASURE

    Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season?
    Hebrews 11:25 (KJV)

    Sin can be pleasurable. This is the hook that sin has used to trap many and to destroy their destinies. There is pleasure in using your pen in stealing from the government, then using the money to buy expensive ride and cruising around town. There is pleasure in taking a sexual partner to a five star hotel and having a full week of sexual experience. The pleasure of sin is the trap that sin uses to get its victims. This is also where the deception of sin comes in. It shows you pleasure and tells you that, that is all there is to it. But listen to our opening text again. The pleasures of sin are for a season. The Greek word translated ‘for a season’ is proskairos meaning ‘for the occasion only’. The pleasure of sin lasts for just the occasion only. But the consequences lasts into eternity. Why are you giving in for fleeting pleasures and exchanging it for eternity in hell? Why are you focused on the moment while ignoring the ultimate? The pleasures of sin are just for that occasion only which afterwards leaves you bitter and ultimately destroys one. It is your desire that draws you away to sin. James 1.14-15 says, “14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” This is what sin does not tell you that once it is finished, you are now a walking corpse. When the occasion of the pleasure is over, you are no longer the same person. You are now a corpse with hands and legs still going around.

    The pleasures of sin would have made permanent the slavery of Joseph. He would have continued to receive favour both from Potiphar and his wife, being the second husband even though unknown to Potiphar. That sin of sleeping with Potiphar’s wife, would have gained him the favour of Madam Potiphar. But he would have forfeited his destiny of being a prime minister of Egypt. Whenever you are giving in to sin, you are forfeiting destiny. The pleasures of sin that is for a moment is always an exchange for the plans and purposes of the Father for you. Whenever you are being lured by the pleasures of sin which in any way is for a moment, you should remember that the cost of that pleasure is the great and mighty purpose and plans of the Father for you. Can you imagine the position of a head-boy in Potiphar’s house and the position of a prime minister of the whole Egypt. That is always the price of the pleasures of sin. Its opportunity cost is the greatness of the Father’s plans and purposes.

    Beloved, if it is sin, the end result is death. Even if you cannot see death; even if you can only see pleasures now, please understand that the end therefore is death (see James 1:14-15). Selah!

    REMEMBER: The pleasures of sin is for the occasion only afterwards it results in death.

    CONFESSION: My desire is to please the Father. My heart is to know the Father. What sin calls pleasure is repulsive and utterly disgusting to me because the nature of righteousness is at work in me. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree today that the taste of sin dies in your life. That sinful appetite is destroyed now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • IT IS ABOUT BEING FAITHFUL

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday April 29, 2023

    IT IS ABOUT BEING FAITHFUL

    And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
    John 4:36 (KJV)

    Understand that there is no failure in the harvest field. Winning souls involves both “sowing” and “reaping.” Yahushua used these terms in talking to His disciples as recorded in John 4:35-38. Exactly what is the difference between “sowing” and “reaping?” Sowing is the work necessary to enable the seed to enter the ground so that one day harvest is reaped! In agriculture, sowing involves preparing the soil and planting the seed. In winning souls to HaMashiach (the Christ), sowing likewise involves preparation and planting: (a) In which the hearts are being prepared for the reception of the gospel. (b) In which the hearts are first introduced to the gospel and its principles. Reaping is the actual “harvesting” of what has been sown. In agriculture, reaping is the collection of the fruits which have produced by the sowing into the barn or storage facilities for preservation. In winning souls, reaping is that harvesting which occurs when souls who have had the Word planted in their hearts decide to obey it and are subsequently planted in the local church! What is important to appreciate is the statement quoted by Jesus in John 4:37, “One sows and another reaps.” Those who sow do not always witness the reaping that may one day occur. And many times those who reap are benefiting from the efforts of those who did the sowing before them. In evangelism, this means that often times you will be sowing the seed and it may appear that you are not getting any results. But some time later those souls you were trying to reach may decide to finally obey the gospel and another Christian may actually do the reaping in your place! Then again, there will be times when people just sort of “fall into your lap,” ready and anxious to obey the gospel with little effort on your part. In this case, you are reaping what others have sown! The point to keep in mind is that evangelism involves both “sowing” and “reaping,” and there will be times when what you sow will be reaped by someone else. Let this be an encouragement to you when it appears that you are not reaping as you would hope. You might actually be making it much easier for some brother or sister in the future!

    So in evangelism, there is nothing like failure if there is faithfulness in planting the Word in the hearts of people. What you should concern yourself is to make sure that you are faithful in planting the Word; that you are diligent in preparing the ground for the Word to do well. Whatever then becomes the outcome in terms of instant decisions for Christ is still success. Sowing the Word is as much success as the person that reaps the soul into the kingdom. Without what you have done, that reaping wouldn’t have been possible probably. So you are a success anyhow the tide turns in the harvest field. This is the mentality Yahweh wants you to have. Yahweh is expecting you to be faithful. “Moreover, it is required of a steward that a man be found faithful” (I Corinthians 4:2). So the requirement is FAITHFULNESS. As a believer, are you faithful in preparing the ground of the heart in intense intercession, breaking off the hold of the god of this world over the minds of the souls you are about ministering the Word? Are you faithful in speaking the Word and not the wisdom of man? These are the points of success in evangelism and soul-winning. If you are faithful, you should not be bordered if the number of decisions are not encouraging because you are just sowing and the harvest will surely be reaped.

    An important element of success in personal work is perseverance and faithfulness. Those who persist in sowing the seed eventually bear fruit. The problem with many people is wrong perspectives and negative attitudes. That translates into failure, no matter what the task is at hand. If you have wrong perspective that it is the decisions you record that determines your success in the harvest field, you may be faced with discouragement, meanwhile, that perspective is wrong according to our opening text. It is wrong perspective and attitudes that makes for failure. May the Lord help you correct every wrong perspective and attitude and help you maintain the winning attitude in soul-winning in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    REMEMBER: Remember that one sows and another reaps.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You for the revelation of Your word. I receive grace to be faithful in sowing and reaping in the harvest field. Thank You for the immense harvest of souls daily in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As we draw close to ending this month, I decree that systems, organizations and individuals holding what is yours lose their sleep, rest and peace until it enters your hands. I decree grace to be faithful released upon you now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE TIME IS SHORT

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday April 6, 2023

    THE TIME IS SHORT

    Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
    Revelation 12:12 (KJV)

    The devil knows that he has but a short time but unfortunately so many Christians do not know that they have but a short time on this side of eternity. Today we are going to look at prophetic timeline and see why soul-winning is so urgent at such a time as this. Yahweh gave Daniel a vision of what He will do in the end times and it is commonly referred to as the seventy weeks of Daniel (Dan. 9:23-27). The seventy weeks of Daniel is the prophetic timeline of Israel as a nation and people. Whatever Yahweh is doing in the world today, Israel is the point of contact for it. Yahweh’s agenda is in relation to the covenant He made with the ancestors of Israel, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In prophetic language, one week is equal to seven years. So seventy weeks is equal to 490 years. Yahweh said that seventy weeks is given to Israel to finish transgression. This seventy weeks started from the 7th year of King Artaxerxes being April 3, 458 BC (Gregorian calendar). From 458 BC to the time the Messiah was cut off around April 3, 33 AD was 69 weeks. This vision of Daniel and the one given to Nebuchadnezzar are one and points to the same end time events. From the Vision of Nebuchadnezzar, the ankle of that image which prophetically is referred as the “Parenthesis” is the times of the gentles which is the age of the Church. One week was remaining from the vision of Daniel which represents the time (seven years of Anti-Christ) of Jacob’s trouble when the Anti-Christ will break the treaty with Israel and unleash persecution which will culminate in the second return of the Messiah.

    From the time that the Messiah was cut off to His second coming is 2000 years. Some Theologians believe that AD 33 was the time the Messiah was cut off. If we go by that date, 2033 will be 2000 years from that cutting off. The Church of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ) on earth today is the restraining force that is withholding the manifestation of the Anti-Christ (see II Thessalonians 2:3-12). The stage however, is set for the Anti-Christ, the only thing remaining is the rapture of the Church. Once the Church is taken away at rapture, the man of sin (the Anti-Christ) will be revealed. The Lord Yahushua HaMashiach (Jesus the Christ) is coming back after 2000 years according to the prophetic scriptures and before that time, the Anti-Christ will be here seven years. It is towards the end of the seven years with the time of intense heat for Israel that their Messiah will emerge, destroying the Anti-Christ and beginning the 1000 years reign from Jerusalem.

    We are in 2023. Remove seven years from 2033, you have 6 years. If the dates are anything to go by, then we have between now and maximum 3-10 years to expect the rapture of the church. Should every living soul around the world not hear that time is running out to make a decision about their eternity? If you are born again, you should preach the gospel with such velocity because time is short. If you are not born again, you should know that time is running out. Unfortunately, it is only humanity that does not know but the adversary the devil knows this very well. Within the next three years, we are specially suppose to be rapture conscious. The events unfolding before our eyes all allude to this shortness of time. There is a threat to have every inhabitant of the earth vaccinated by 2030. What is in the vaccines? You have probably heard of quantum dots vaccines being developed by MIT engineers. You have probably also heard of ID2020, the program to leverage immunization as an opportunity to establish digital identity. Beloved, all these are being proposed to be implanted either on the forehead or right hand (see Revelation 13:16-18). When we say the time is short, prophetically, it is even at the door. Preach the Word! Win a soul today! Save somebody from eternal doom! Shalom!

    REMEMBER: There is an urgency in the spirit to soul-winning now because time is very short.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for insight into prophetic timeline. I ask that you awaken every believer to the urgency of the moment. I ask that you open the eyes of the unsaved to the light of the glorious gospel today in the wonderful name of Yahushua HaMashiach, Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for insight into prophetic timeline. I ask that you awaken every believer to the urgency of the moment. I ask that you open the eyes of the unsaved to the light of the glorious gospel today in the wonderful name of Yahushua HaMashiach, Amen!

  • THE GOSPEL DEFINED

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday April 5, 2023

    THE GOSPEL DEFINED

    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
    ROMANS 10:9 (KJV)

    You have been hearing of the term “gospel” and sometimes, we may get acquainted with a word thinking that it means something only to discover that we have been wrong about the meaning we have come to ascribe to the word. The word translated as gospel in the New Testament is the Greek “evaggelion” meaning “a good message; good news” and the verb “evangelizo“ meaning “to bring or announce good news”. Both words are derived from the noun angelos meaning “messenger”. The gospel is the story that tells humanity that Yahweh has finished the work of salvation in and through HaMashiach (the Christ). The gospel is the good news that Yahweh in came into the world in the person of Yahushua HaMashiach, was born of virgin birth by the power of the Holy Spirit, died, was buried, resurrected and ascended to the right hand of the Father and that salvation and eternal life is available in His Name. In I Corinthians 15:1-4, the Apostle Paul enumerated these basic ingredients of the gospel. The gospel is the good news that in the Lord Yahushua we are not just forgiven sinners but we are now new creations with the very life of Yahweh in us (see II Corinthians 5:17, 21). In the Lord Yahushua, we are made the righteousness of Yahweh. In the Lord Yahushua, we are heirs of Yahweh and joint-heirs with HaMashiach (the Christ) (see Romans 8:17). In HaMashiach, we have the power of attorney to use the almighty name of the Lord Yahushua to reign and rule on earth (see Mark 16:17).

    The gospel is the good news that all that man lost in Adam, has been fully and completely restored to us in the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach. The gospel is the good news that though you may not be an Israelite, but in HaMashiach (the Christ) you are now the seed of Abraham with full rights to the covenant (see Galatians 3:29). The gospel is the good news that your servitude to sin, Satan and sickness was over on the cross of the Lord Yahushua and now in Him you are the lord over sin, Satan, sickness, poverty, etc (see John 19:30; 1 Peter 2:24). The gospel is the good news that there is no other name given among men by which we shall be saved but the name of the Lord Yahushua (see Act 4:12).

    What does it mean to obey the gospel? To obey the gospel means when you hear this good news that you believe it, then by faith confess that you believe that the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach came, died, was buried, rose from the dead and is at the right hand of Yahweh and that you make Him Lord and Personal Saviour of your life from that minute. Then you are baptised as part of that confession by immersion in water. When you have responded to the gospel in this way, you have obeyed it. It is important to note that this gospel is the power of Yahweh to save even the vilest of sinners. Its power can turn the life of a man 360 degrees in a split of seconds. If you have not obeyed the gospel till now, please be encouraged today to take action.

    REMEMBER: The Gospel is the power of Yahweh to save even the vilest person.

    SONG: The vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receive. Glory be to the Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: May the power of the gospel shatter every yoke in your life and bring you to open heavens today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE SPIRIT OF FAITH

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday March 30, 2023

    THE SPIRIT OF FAITH

    We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
    II Corinthians 4:13 (KJV)

    There is the spirit of Faith. The spirit of faith is a speaking spirit that enables you to speak the word of Yahweh before any situation. The spirit of faith empowers you to say what is written in spite of the happenings. The spirit of faith is faith operating from your spirit. It is faith irrespective of the climate insisting for a turnaround and not repudiating until it is delivered. There is a difference between the word of Faith and the Spirit of Faith. The Word of Faith gives you light to enable you act on it. The Spirit of Faith moves you to act on the word. The Spirit drives you (see Mark 1:12). When the spirit of Faith is in operation, reasoning is deactivated. The Spirit of Faith drives you to achieve the purpose of Yahweh and will not stop until it is achieved. In Numbers chapters 13 and 14, we saw the story of the twelve spies sent by Moses and their report. All twelve of them saw the same thing, but they reported differently. What was the difference? In Numbers 14:24 says, ‘But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.’ That another spirit is the spirit of faith. From this story, let us briefly outline what the spirit of offers:

    1. Causes you to see differently. The spirit of Faith causes you to look at what others are looking at and see differently. These twelve spies went through the land and looked at the same things but two of them saw differently. In the same economy, one person sees unemployment, while another person sees unlimited opportunities for wealth – the operation of the spirit of faith.
    2. Causes you to speak differently. While others may just talk, you speak. The spirit of faith is a speaking spirit. The words of your mouth are carefully selected to produce results. You always speak with authority because you are seeing differently. Joshua and Caleb spoke differently. While the ten said, they were like grasshoppers, the two said, they are bread for us.
    3. Causes you to inherit the promise land. Out of all that generation, it was only these two guys that had the spirit of faith that inherited the promise land. The spirit of faith causes you to inherit your lot in HaMashiach. You have an inheritance in HaMashiach. Acts 20:32 says that you have an inheritance among them that are sanctified. But to come into your inheritance, you are to operate in the spirit of Faith.
    4. Exempts you from destruction and judgement of Yahweh. As a result of the report that the ten spies brought, that whole generation was condemned to destruction in the wilderness. Why? Because in Number 14:11-12 judgement was released upon them. The summary was that not one person of that generation saw the promised land except these two guys Joshua and Caleb.

    Our text says that we all already have this spirit of faith. So allow the spirit of faith to dominate you. Don’t allow your mind and carnal desires to dominate you. Put the spirit of faith to operation today and see your life turnaround. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The Spirit of Faith causes you to speak victory in spite of the facts on ground.

    CONFESSION: I am born of Yahweh with His life and love in my spirit. I am full of the Holy Spirit and function in the spirit of faith daily. Nothing is impossible to me. I am full and complete in HaMashiach. I win always. Halleluyah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As the month draws to a close tomorrow, I provoke the release of all that this month carries for you in terms of spiritual, financial, materials and social blessings. Receive all your hanging releases for the month of March now. There shall be no carryover in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • IGNITING FAITH BY PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday March 29, 2023

    IGNITING FAITH BY PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT

    But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

    Jude 1:20 KJV

    Praying in tongues is a mystery that delivers so many dividends to the practitioner. In 1st Corinthians 14: 2, we see that praying in the tongues of the Spirit is a direct line to God that cuts off all satanic activities and interferences. Let us outline what speaking in the tongues of the Holy Spirit holds for the believer:

    1. It is speaking mysteries. Speaking in the tongues of the Holy Spirit is speaking mysteries that man and Satan does not understand. In life, it takes mystery to defeat mystery. Looking around you, you will see myriads of satanic mysteries ravishing the lives of people. – Sicknesses that cannot be diagnosed, careers and business that suddenly collapses, etc. Praying in the Holy Spirit is speaking mysteries to God that defeats the mysteries of Satan. (I Corinthians 14:4)

    2. It builds you up in your most holy faith. I Corinthians 14:4 says that he that speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself; he builds himself up in his most holy faith according to our text. This is the way to establish your faith and solidify it. Praying in the tongues of the Spirit will build you up in ways that will cause your faith to start producing results.

    3. It helps make the spiritual realm more distinct. Spiritual things are not as distinct to us as they ought to be because we are walking too much in the natural and that is where praying in tongues helps us. 1st Corinthians 14:14 says ‘For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth.…’ When you are praying in tongues, the spirit is active, but not the mind and not the body. When you are speaking with tongues, the tongues are coming out of your spirit. So, you see, your spirit is active, and your spirit is in contact with God. Your spirit can begin to pick up things from God. I don’t know about you, but I appreciate the gift of the Holy Spirit and the ability to pray in other tongues. Besides the new birth, being baptized in the Holy Ghost and being able to pray in tongues is the greatest blessing that has ever happened to me in my life. Being filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues and then praying in tongues is the greatest single blessing in my life besides the new birth.

    To wrap up this, recognize that it is you, that is your recreated human spirit that prays not the Holy Spirit. Some people got the idea that you must be in goosebumps indicating that the Holy Spirit has come upon you before you can pray in tongues. Read First Corinthians 14:14 again. ‘For if I pray…’ When it says “I”, it is talking about the new man in Christ, the recreated human spirit. Do you need a goosebumps to open your mouth and talk? You go ahead and talk and the Holy Spirit gives you utterance. It is like electric current. The Holy Spirit is the current and it is always available. Opening your mouth is like connecting to the current which switches you on immediately. Go ahead and pray in tongues now if you are filled with the Holy Spirit.

    REMEMBER: Praying in tongues is like connecting your life to the current of the Holy Spirit. It ignites your faith for unending triumphs.

    CONFESSION: Dear Father, thank you for your word. As I pray in the tongues of the Spirit, my faith is fired up for possibilities beyond comprehension. I possess my inheritance today. I go forth to be a blessing to my world. Glory be God!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I release freshness of spirit upon you now. I decree that today marks the beginning of firerised prayer altar in your life in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • FAITH IS THE VICTORY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday March 28, 2023

    FAITH IS THE VICTORY

    For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith

    I John 5:4 KJV

    There are things that are automatic. Whenever faith is in place, victory is automatic. Our text states that FAITH is the victory. But the way in which we often interpret it tends to skew the meaning. Most of us think that we are being told that if we have enough faith we will press through to the victory. In short, we think that it is faith that carries us into any victory. But wait. Read this verse carefully. It really does not say that our faith carries us into any victory. Rather, this verse states that faith IS the victory. Do you see that? It is not an insignificant distinction. Faith itself – the reality of faith in us – THAT IS THE VICTORY. Anything else that comes about because of this faith is not the victory, but the faith itself IS the victory. God is here telling us that if faith is established in us that this faith IS the victory. It is our victory, yes, but really, it is GOD’S victory – in us. The faith itself IS the victory. The faith isn’t UNTO the victory. The faith IS the victory. In other words, the existence of faith in us is evidence of His victory in us. The two are as one, for the verse says, “This is the victory….our faith.”

    There is another verse in the Bible that says much the same thing, and most of us make the same mistake of interpretation. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith IS the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. “(Heb 11:1). Again – many of us read this to say, “Faith believes in what is hoped for, and faith believes in evidence that is not seen.” But the verse does not say that. Rather, it says that faith itself IS – get that, the faith itself IS….IS….IS – the faith IS the substance and evidence. Not, “faith believes in substance or evidence not seen,” but, “faith IS,” the very substance and evidence. See the difference? What God is telling us is this: That faith in us is the very evidence, the very substance, indeed, faith in us is the very victory. Faith is evidence of that which is of God; of that which is eternal. Faith doesn’t merely believe that – no — faith IS that. Faith is evidence and substance IN US before we even begin to talk about anything else in the outward. In other words, if I have in me this faith – then God has IN ME established a victory, a substance; an evidence.

    But WHY is faith itself the victory? Because of what faith IS. Faith is evidence that God has gotten His way with me – I have seen the Truth and I have embraced it, and thus, I believe and rest in Christ. Faith is the evidence of Christ having His home in me. Thus, faith does not merely believe something is true. Rather, faith is the evidence or presence of the Truth, indeed, the living presence of God’s will in us. If you have faith, you have it because God has gotten His victory over you, and has established in you, the Truth on a particular matter. Faith IS the evidence in us of HIS victory – faith IS the evidence and substance of what is unseen. You see you don’t anything battle to fight to win, the battle is to get in faith because once faith is in place, victory is automatic.

    REMEMBER: Victory is automatic where faith is present.

    CONFESSION: My faith always works because I am planted in the word. I am not fighting to win, I only need to be in faith because as soon as my faith comes alive, victory is automatic. I always win because it is my destiny in Christ! Glory to the Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that every impossibility dissolve now in your life in the name of Jesus Christ Amen!

  • FAITHLESSNESS IS VERY TRAGEDIC

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday March 27, 2023

    FAITHLESSNESS IS VERY TRAGEDIC

    He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved? but he that believeth not shall be damned.
    Mark 16:16 (KJV)

    Faith is not just a treasure but not possessing faith is a tragedy. It is very dangerous to be faithless. It is deadly to exist without faith. It is calamitous to function in life outside of faith in Yahweh. One of the motivations of pursuing faith is not just for the victories that it holds for you but also for the dangers that existing without it holds for you. Firstly, without faith, your eternity is in the lake of fire (see Revelation 21:8), then, you exist without eternal life on earth (see John 3:36), then a life full of natural limitations and frustrations (see Matthew 8:26), then a life barren of the help of Yahweh (see 2 Chronicles 25:8), also a life at the mercy of Satan and his agents (see Luke 13:16), etc. The list is almost inexhaustible but for space, we shall be explaining the above-mentioned.

    What are the tragedies of faithlessness?

    1. Eternity in the lake of fire. In Revelation 21:8 the word says, ‘But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.’ Why is that so? Our opening text already gave us the clue. Without faith in Yahushua HaMashiach, you cannot receive salvation, without which you are damned to the lake of fire. You see that faithlessness was the second thing Revelation 21:8 mentioned. It is very critical. Escape for your life today. Surrender your heart to the Lord Yahushua now.
    2. Existence without Eternal Life. John 3:36 says, ‘He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.’ Eternal life is the very life of God that was given to us as a result of the resurrection of HaMashiach. This life is the presence of the greater one in us (see 1 John 4:4). It is eternal life in our spirit that quickened us back to life from spiritual death. If we ever overcame the evil one, it is because this eternal life is at work in us. Without faith in Yahushua HaMashiach, He cannot impart eternal life to you.
    3. A life full of natural limitations and frustrations. Without faith, what limits other natural people will limit you. Faithlessness sponsors existence in frustrations. In Matthew 8:26), we saw the disciples of the Master Yahushua confronted by a great tempest in the sea insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves (see Matthew 8:23-24). That is life for you. In life you face oppositions, limitations and confrontations. But faith is the force that delivers a testimony in the midst of these challenges. So without faith, you are left solely on human effort and strength. And by strength shall no man prevail (see I Samuel 2:9).
    4. A life barren of the help of Yahweh. The help of Yahweh is what guarantees heights in life. The help of Yahweh is the secret of health and continuity. In 2 Chronicles 25:8 we saw that Yahweh has power to help. In 2 Chronicles 26:7,15, we saw that the help of Yahweh is behind greatness in life. The help of Yahweh determines if you will win or lose in the race of life. In Acts 26:22, we saw that continuity is a function of the help of Yahweh. However, you cannot access Yahweh without faith and if you cannot access Yahweh, you cannot access His help.
    5. A life at the mercy of Satan and his agents. Without faith, man is without Elohim and without Elohim, man is at the mercy of Satan and his agents. In Luke 13:16, we saw Satan binding a woman for eighteen years, until faith was activated in the woman to be healed from that satanic bondage. Faith connects you to the power of Yahweh which terminates the operation of Satan and his kingdom. Existing in faithlessness is very dangerous and exposes you to the realm of uncontrolled wickedness of the devil.

    REMEMBER: The worst tragedy of faithlessness is eternity in the lake of fire.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I receive grace to exist in faith all my day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Everything killing faith in your life comes under divine judgment now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • FAITH ENHANCERS (4): PRACTICE THE WORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday March 26, 2023

    FAITH ENHANCERS (4): PRACTICE THE WORD

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

    John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist church, said that many people who are in the church are not really saved. They have just mentally subscribed to certain truths. They have agreed that certain things are true in their minds, but not in their hearts. Wesley was referring to head faith versus heart faith for receiving salvation or the new birth; but the same is true concerning healing, receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, or an answer to prayer.

    Many times people who are agreeing mentally with Yahweh’s Word think that all the time they are really believing. I’ll show you how you can tell the difference. Faith says, “It’s mine. I have it now.” Mental assent says, “I know I should have it, but for some reason or other I don’t get it.” Those folks who are mentally agreeing with what the Word says are not believing; they’re mentally assenting. They are agreeing mentally that the Word is true, but they are not appropriating Yahweh’s promises for themselves.

    Many times people call hope, believing. But hope is not believing and believing is not hope. People who only mentally assent to Yahweh’s Word may say, “I believe that I am going to get my healing.” That’s still not faith, that is hope. People call that believing, but it isn’t believing; it is hope because it is in the future tense. I often hear people say, “I believe I will get the Holy Ghost sometime,” or “I believe I’m going to get my healing,” or “I believe Yahweh is going to heal me sometime.” That’s not believing; that is hope. Hope won’t work for receiving from Yahweh. It is faith that receives from Yahweh. Elohim doesn’t say He is going to give you the Holy Ghost or heal you some-time or at some future date. Yahweh doesn’t say that one single time in His Word.

    For example, Yahweh gave the Holy Spirit to the Church on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4). All the believer needs to do is receive Him. And our healing was bought and paid for by the stripes of Yahushua and by His redemptive work on the Cross (see Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24). What we as Believers must do is accept or appropriate by faith what Yahweh has already provided for us. “Well,” someone said, “Yahweh promised in His Word to heal me.” No, there is no place in Yahweh’s Word where He promised to heal anyone. Yahweh tells us that healing is bought and paid for and that it already belongs to us. It is up to us to appropriate that healing. Until you practice the Word, you cannot take what is already provided for you. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Quit trying to believe, just practice the Word and faith is born.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I ask for the grace to be a doer of the word. In all circumstance let me do what the word says to do from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive the grace to do the Word without hesitation thereby provoking supernatural breakthroughs in your life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
