    THE HORRORS OF SIN (3): ABSENCE OF PEACE

    There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
    Isaiah 48:22 (KJV)

    One of the first thing that happened to Adam at the fall was the lose of peace. Peace is that state of tranquillity spirit, soul and body. Peace is the absence of war both within and without. Peace is a state of perfect fellowship with Yahweh where man’s obedience is confirmed. At the fall, the first thing that happened to Adam was that he discovered he was afraid. There was a looming sense of conflict, war and contempt spiritually that made him hide from the presence of the Lord. The presence that he used to enjoy before was now making him afraid. Surely and truly, there is no peace unto the wicked. The wicked is the person that lives in rebellion against the Word of Yahweh. The wicked is that one that scorns obedience to the Word of Yahweh. Sin destroys the presence of Yahweh which guarantees peace and leaves us with war both within and without. You cannot truly be at peace with sin alive in you. One of the greatest treasures in this life is peace. Once, there is no peace, then every other thing will breakdown; health, marriage, career, business, etc. Literally, if there is war, everything shuts down. That is how destiny shuts down by sin. When there is no peace, life begins to shut down. So, peace is an inevitable asset in the race of life.

    When Israel departed from God and began to do whatever she wanted, the Bible says that peace departed from her. “Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law… And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. And nation was destroyed by nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.” (2 Chronicles 15:3,5,6). And then the prophet came and began to announce a new order, just as I’m doing now. Job 22:21-23 says: “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.”

    I pray that you will do exactly what Asa did. When he heard the words of the Prophet Oded, he took steps: “…He took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin…and renewed the altar of the Lord… And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin. And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul.“ (2 Chronicles 15:8-9,12). And consequently, verses 15 and 19 tell us: “…The Lord gave them rest round about. And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.” Before sin finishes you, finish it and enter into your liberty! Selah!

    REMEMBER: Sin introduces war both within and without with massive destructions.

    CONFESSION: I hate the hidden things of dishonesty. I do not play with sin. I have cut off every link with sin and uncleanness, hence, peace like river is flowing in my heart and life. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I speak peace and rest into your life now. I command every war to cease. No more living in sin in your life in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE HORRORS OF SIN (2): SICKNESS, DISEASE AND AFFLICTION

    WordForTodayDevotional_08072026

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday, July 8, 2026

    THE HORRORS OF SIN (2): SICKNESS, DISEASE AND AFFLICTION

    And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
    Isaiah 33:24 [KJV]

    The root of sickness is iniquity. There was no sickness before sin came on the scene but as soon as sin reigned, sickness, disease and affliction became the lot of the depraved humanity. Every disease has its root in sin. Yahweh made provisions for everything in the Garden of Eden, but not for healing, because man was not created to be sick. But by one man sin came, and sin brought death, and everything that leads to death, including leukaemia, cancer, AIDS, name it (see Romans 5:12). The Lord Yahushua said, “Thy sins are forgiven thee” is the same thing as saying, “Arise and be healed” (see Matthew 9:6), because both sin and sickness have the same root. Every disease is a curse, and a curse is as a result of sin (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). The Bible calls all forms of sicknesses curses, whether fever, chest pain, bad eyesight, deafness, name it. No other theological or medical explanation can be stronger than what the Bible has to say. Sin is at the root of every disease; and until righteousness takes over, sickness will continue. So let go of sin, so you can enjoy eternal life in your health!

    Considering Mark 2:1-10, The episode involving the Lord Yahushua and the paralytic makes a distinct connection between sin and sickness. This effect is often subtle because an illness or a poor, weak, rundown state of health may not be the result of a specific sin. It may be the product of a series of sins committed over many years or a lifetime. Sin is so subtle that a worldly person, examining himself for the cause of his sickness, may never consider sin at all. Not knowing Yahweh, he would have no inclination to look for sin as the cause. Our Saviour certainly connects sin with sickness: “Yahushua said, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk.’ . . . Afterward Yahushua found him in the temple, and said to him, ‘See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you’” (John 5:8, 14). It could hardly be clearer: Sin produces sickness, pain, and degeneracy.

    James 5:15-16 says, “15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up? and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” This is to buttress the fact that sin is at the root of sickness. Until sin is taken out of the way, recovery may be impossible. And is it not much better to live in divine health? Glory be to our heavenly Father that we can confess sin and have them forgiven and cleansed. Do away with sin so that Satan can have nothing in you as excuse to bring sickness upon you.

    REMEMBER: At the root of sickness, disease and affliction is sin.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I repent of any sin in my life. Search me Lord and know me; try my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way of everlasting life in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: The tenure of that affliction in your body is over today. Be healed now and receive grace not to go back to that sin again in the Lord Yahushua’s name Amen!

  • THE HORRORS OF SIN (2): DESTRUCTION

    WordForTodayDevotional_07072026

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday, July 7, 2026

    THE HORRORS OF SIN (2): DESTRUCTION

    Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
    III John 1:2 (KJV)

    It is a confirmed fact that iniquity always ends in calamity. This should not be difficult to grasp because the instigator of sin is Satan and the Lord Yahushua referring to Satan says in John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” If Satan is coming to steal, kill and destroy, it is important to ask what is the legal tender of Satan? Sin is the thing that gives Satan an inroad into your life to steal, kill and destroy. Sin’s ultimate is destruction. Beloved, you must internalize this fact that sin is not your friend, it is an arch enemy. Your destruction is sin’s mission. Are you going to allow sin to achieve its mission in your life? Sin removes you from the place of your safety which is the presence of Yahweh. In His presence, you are dwelling in a secure fortress. What sin does is to remove you from that hallowed presence because Yahweh’s eyes are purer than to behold iniquity (see Habakkuk 1:13). The Bible says sin separates us from Yahweh and hinders us from experiencing His help and blessings. ‘Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear, but your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.’ (Isaiah 59:1-2). Sin keeps us from knowing Yahweh and makes us blind, deaf and insensitive for the Holy Spirit. Therefore, most people will say there is no Yahweh, because they don’t experience Him. In their reality Yahweh does not exist. Sin has destroyed the presence of Yahweh from their lives.

    Most suffering on earth is caused by sin. For example: selfishness and lust for money causes big food industries to ignore the need of healthy food and instead they produce empty harvests of fruit and vegetables that are void of essential nutrients and filled with poison like pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The same industries put unhealthy processed sugars in every food product they sell. This is causing hundreds of millions of people to end up with diabetes, cancer and countless other diseases. This is just one example of how sin destroys mankind. Selfishness and lust for money blind us for truth and honesty.

    Most environmental issues which produce horrible natural disasters, are caused by the sinful hearts of hundreds of millions of people who don’t care about the environment and who destroy our planet with their behaviour. Both small people and big industries alike treat the world with an attitude of pure selfishness and unconcern. Many blame Yahweh for the disasters that strike our planet, but very few are willing to acknowledge their own responsibility. When Yahweh created man, He gave him authority over all of creation, and the responsibility to steward it (see Genesis 1:26). Ruling over the earth means taking good care of it, so it produces blessings and not curses, life and not death, cures and not diseases. But the sin in our hearts causes us to be indifferent and only care about our own pleasure. Therefore sin doesn’t only hurt us personally, it also destroys mankind on a global scale.

    REMEMBER: At the root of destructions and devastations is sin.

    CONFESSION: My life is hide in HaMashiach in Yahweh. I do not have the property of Satan which is sin in me and with me. I am a new creation with the nature of righteousness. Praise Yah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you drop that sin today, I command restoration of whatever you have lost as its result in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE HORRORS OF SIN (1): SHAME

    WordForTodayDevotional_06072026

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday, July 6, 2026

    THE HORRORS OF SIN (1): SHAME

    And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
    Genesis 3:10 (KJV)

    Shame is a function of nakedness. Sin makes you naked in the realm of the spirit. It is only a mad person that can be naked and not ashamed because there is no more mind to understand what is going on. Sin strips you of every form of covering, leaving you naked. Sin destroys the presence of Yahweh that forms a covering for the man, thereby, exposing him/her to attacks of the wicked. Sin is a barrier to honour in anybody’s life, whether white or black, literate or illiterate, young or old. No matter who you are, sin will never allow you to see honour. Wherever sin reigns, shame reigns. Wherever sin reigns, reproach reigns. Wherever sin reigns, men have no future. When the first man, Adam, sinned in the Garden of Eden, he was stripped naked. Yahweh called out to him, “Adam, where art thou?” Sin obscures you. Sin destroys your visibility confining you to the background of ignominy. Sin will strip any man naked of all honour, dignity and glory. Adam fell from grace to grass; he became a labourer where he was once the king. So sin must die for your glory to rise; sin must die for you to walk in holiness. No honour or glory awaits the crooked, because Proverbs 28:13 warns that “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper.”

    Sin takes the honour due you to other people. Proverbs 5:7-12 illustrates this: “7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: 10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; 11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;” Sin is sin, no matter the coloration. You don’t talk of honour where sin reigns. No! Until you solve the sin problem, you can never experience lasting honour. When the first man, Adam, sinned, he became a struggler, a beggar. He began to hide, as sin had stripped him naked. It’s time to return.

    Isaiah 59:8 says, “The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.” Crookedness is a barrier to honour, let it go! If you don’t destroy corruption, you will see corruption. When sin is enthroned, shame is inevitable. When sin has its way, honour loses its place. Sin is the father of shame, whereas integrity is the father of dignity. Make your choice. Everyone that gets married to sin ends up giving birth to children of shame. Selah!

    REMEMBER: When sin is allowed, shame reigns.

    CONFESSION: I refuse to allow sin to reign in my mortal body. I do not see shame because righteousness is my nature and holiness is my choice. Thank You Father!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Whatever that is hindering the prosperity of your soul dies today in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE LAWS OF PROSPERITY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday, June 11, 2024

    THE LAWS OF PROSPERITY

    While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
    Genesis 8:22 (KJV)

    We must understand that there are laws governing every single thing in existence. Nothing is by accident. There are laws of the world of the spirit, and there are laws of the world of the natural. The laws of the world of the natural govern our activities in this natural, physical world. We don’t float; we walk. If the law of gravity were not in action, we would float. These physical laws can be manipulated. For instance, the law of gravity is used when flying an airplane, but it is superseded by another physical law, the law of lift. When you put the law of lift into operation, you can fly, but you must know something about the law of gravity in order to use the law of lift. You don’t do away with the law of gravity; you just supersede it with a higher law. These are natural, physical laws, and they govern this natural, physical world. We need to realize that the spiritual world and its laws are more powerful than the physical world and its laws. Spiritual law gave birth to physical law.

    The world and the physical forces governing it were created by the power of faith—a spiritual force. Yahweh, a Spirit, created all matter, and He created it with the force of faith. Hebrews 11:3 says, “…the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” The law of gravity would be meaningless if gravity were not a real force. Faith is a spiritual force, a spiritual energy, a spiritual power. It is this force of faith which makes the laws of the spirit world function. When the force of faith is put to work, these laws of the spirit function according to the way Yahweh says they will. Romans 8:29 says, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” There are two functional laws in the world of the spirit. One, the law of sin and death, was put into operation by Adam when he disobeyed Yahweh in the Garden of Eden. The other, the law of the Spirit of life, was put into operation by Yahushua HaMashiach at His Resurrection. The law of the Spirit of life is the master law under which we operate as children of Yahweh. It supersedes the law of sin and death and faith causes it to function. There are certain elements which, when combined, will bring forth the result Yahweh intends. Salvation is available to every human being on the face of the earth because the Word says anyone who calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (see Joel 2:32; Romans 10:13). This higher spiritual law of life is here in the earth, but every day people die and go to hell. Why? Because the law of salvation hasn’t been put to work in their particular lives. It will work only when it is put to work.

    This same rule is true in prosperity. There are certain laws governing prosperity revealed in Yahweh’s Word. Faith causes them to function. They will work when they are put to work, and they will stop working when the force of faith is stopped. Stay tuned as we explore these laws.

    REMEMBER: The Laws of the Spirit are more real than the physical laws.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You for Your word to me today. Father, open my eyes to the laws of prosperity this season in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I command the channels of your spirit to open up today to understand and align with the laws of prosperity for your own profiting in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO GET WISDOM (1): BY SALVATION

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday, May 3, 2024

    HOW TO GET WISDOM (1): BY SALVATION

    Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
    Acts 4:12 [KJV]

    As we have already established that the Spirit of HaMashiach is the Spirit of Wisdom. That follows that until we come to HaMashiach to be saved, we cannot have access to this Wisdom. In the Old Testament, this Wisdom came by divine impartation for special assignment. That is the case with Bezaleel. Exodus 28:3 says, ‘And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.’ Exodus 31:2-3 says, ‘2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,’ The Spirit of Wisdom came upon people to help them function in certain offices and perform certain assignment for the Lord. In the New Testament, the reality which is Yahushua has come. John 1:17 says, “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” We are no longer in the shadows. Now, the Spirit of Wisdom is open to whosoever desire it. James 1:5 says, ‘If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not? and it shall be given him.’ However, our first access to the Spirit of HaMashiach is at new birth. It is at new birth that the Holy Spirit comes into the life of the believer and recreates his spirit. If you have not accepted the Lordship of the Lord Yahushua, you cannot receive the Spirit of Wisdom. Wisdom is one of the seven-fold manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

    Wisdom can only operate in the environment of the new creation. The mind of sin can never understand nor accept the ways of this Wisdom. “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men? and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” (I Corinthians 1:25). The mind of the unregenerated person sees the ways of this Wisdom as foolishness. Until you come into HaMashiach, you can never comprehend this Wisdom. The ways of this Wisdom operate in the highest pedestal of comprehension. The scribes and learned people of this world sees it as foolishness. It actually operates on a pedestal that their little minds cannot apprehend. The mind of the unregenerated person is blind. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 says, “3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

    If you ever think that accepting Yahushua HaMashiach is something for the ignorant, then please understand that it is because there is a spiritual blindness on you by the activities of your arch enemy Satan who is the god of this world. For you to be free from his clutches, you must come into the glorious light of the Lord Yahushua and if you have not done so, please pray the prayer with all your heart and please reach out to us for assistance.

    REMEMBER: Until you are saved, you cannot receive this Wisdom.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, I repent of my sins and believe in Yahushua HaMashiach that He came, died for my sins and rose again to give me life. Now, I confess that Yahushua HaMashiach is Lord and Saviour of my life. Lord Yahushua I surrender my heart to You today and forever. Through You Lord and in Your name I have eternal life; I am born again. Thank You Lord for saving my soul. Now I am a child of Yahweh. Praise the Lord! Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: By Wisdom, begin to experience mighty things that will make people marvel 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.

  • HOW TO OPERATE IN THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE (4): SUPERNATURAL MENTALITY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday, April 18, 2024

    HOW TO OPERATE IN THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE (4): SUPERNATURAL MENTALITY

    For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:
    Proverbs 23:7a (KJV)

    Your mentality determines your reality in this Kingdom. You can never rise above your mentality. You cannot even do what does not come into your mind. Until you think it, you cannot do it. You are actually your thoughts over time. Your life today is a product of your thoughts in the past. So, for you to change the outcome of today and begin to shape tomorrow, you must develop a new mindset. There is a mindset that the Word imparts to you as you interact with it on daily basis. It is the mentality of the supernatural which makes you know that all things are possible. It is the “I can do all things” mentality. It is the mentality that you are a victor and not a victim. It is the mentality that you can do all things in HaMashiach. This is important because “without your mind would I do nothing” (Philemon 1:14a). You need to stay in the Word and develop the mind of HaMashiach. It is the renewing of your mind in the Word that determines the transformations that you can experience in your life (see Romans 12:2). There are so much for you in HaMashiach, but it is only what you can contain in your mind that can be delivered to you. If your mind cannot comprehend it, your hand cannot handle it. If your mind cannot conceive it, your life cannot take delivery of it. It all starts in the mind.

    Ephesians 3:20 says, ‘Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,’ There is something exceeding abundantly available for you in HaMashiach, but it is only according to what you can think. How can you ask what you cannot think? If it is too much for your mind, it would be too much for your hand. If it is too much for your mind, it would be too much for your mouth and if your mouth cannot declare it boldly, it can never be delivered into your life. The power of the Holy Spirit is working exceeding abundantly in you but its manifestation in your life and world is only according to what you can think. Your world is a function of your thoughts. Your life cannot climb above the limits of your thoughts. This is an eternal principle of this Kingdom and you must harness it to live a supernatural life in this world.

    You must start expunging every thought that is against the Word that has build a strong hold in your life from your mind from this day. II Corinthians 10:5 commands you to “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ?” If you don’t take these thoughts to captivity, they would take your life to captivity. It is a principle of garbage in garbage out. To cast down these thoughts, you must replace them with the Word intentionally. You must pray in tongues until the Word you have in your spirit-man becomes inundated in your spirit.

    REMEMBER: Supernatural mentality is renewing your mind in the Word until the Word becomes your mindset.

    CONFESSION: The Word is my meditation all the day. As I read and study the Word, it forms in my mind and sets standards by which I operate in the supernatural. I am a commander in the supernatural by the Word. Glory be Yahweh!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that whatever distracting you from the Word expires by fire today. Your life shall begin to make news from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (4): ADVOCATE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday, April 8, 2024

    THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (4): ADVOCATE

    When the Advocate comes, whom I will send you from the Father – the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father – he will testify about me,
    John 15:26 [NET]

    Interestingly the word Advocate has its own shades of meaning. Firstly, an Advocate is one who pleads the cause of another, specially one who pleads the cause of another before a tribunal or judicial court. Isaiah 43:26 (KJV) shows us a court-like activity in the presence of the Father, ‘Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.’ The word plead is a legal term meaning to make an allegation in an action or other legal proceeding, especially answer the previous pleading of the other party by denying facts therein stated or by alleging new facts. It is interesting to know that the devil is always accusing us before the Father. Revelation 12:10 (KJV) says, ‘And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.’ The devil is our accuser before God. Even though he is cast down, he has not lost this ministry of accusation. That is why the Father gave us the Holy Spirit as our Advocate who constantly counters his accusations pleading that by the blood of Yahushua, we are not guilty as charged by that devil. The Holy Spirit my Advocate ensure that the devil does not prevail in his ministry of accusation against me. Halleluyah!

    Secondly, an Advocate is one who defends or maintains a course or proposal. The Holy Spirit as my Advocate maintains my course and visions. Most of your visions, are deeply resisted by the gates of hell. But for the advocacy of the Holy Spirit, many of our plans would not see the light of day, because they are deeply resisted. So, when you have a project, the wise think to do is to give it to the Holy Spirit to help you execute it. That way, he advocates for the resources, the provisions and all necessary assistance required to ensure it is a success. Don’t ever do things on your own again without the Holy Spirit active participation, except you just like struggling in life. My life is completely divorced of struggling and stress, all thanks to the Holy Spirit’s ministry of advocacy in my life.

    Lastly, an Advocate is one who supports or promotes the interests of a cause or group. This is slightly different from the previous. You know of advertisement, right? That is what this is talking about. You know how much it cost to advertise or promote a product on visual aids like television, billboards, etc. Advertising is very expensive. This is what the Holy Spirit does for you for free. On any issue that needs promotion in your life, the Holy Spirit galvanizes support and interests for you. This was evident in the ministry the Lord Jesus. Watch this, Luke 4:14 (KJV), ‘And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.’ Without internet, mass media, and technology, the Holy Spirit advertised Yahushua and caused His fame to spread abroad. You don’t know what you are missing by not walking intimately with the Holy Spirit. Your business, career and handwork can become the talk of the town by the advocacy ministry of the Holy Spirit.

    REMEMBER: The Holy Spirit your Advocate pleads your course, defends your projects and visions, and promotes your interests.

    CONFESSION: I have become a success by the advocacy of the Holy Spirit. The fame of what I am doing has gone abroad by His advocacy giving me audience in high and mighty places. Thank You Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Your days of smallness are over forever. Your fame begins to fly abroad now. Come into limelight by the advocacy of the blessed Holy Spirit at work in you now in Yahushua’s name Amen!

  • HINDRANCES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (3): THE THORNY HEART

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday, March 27, 2024

    HINDRANCES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (3): THE THORNY HEART

    And some fell among thorns? and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
    Matthew 13:7 (KJV)

    Some seeds fell among thorns (which are a good guard to the corn when they are in the barn, but a bad inmate when they are in the field). ‘And the thorns sprung up,’ which intimates that they did not appear, or but little, when the corn was sown, but afterwards they proved choking to it, (vs. 7). The thorny heart went further than the former, the wayside heart and the stony heart, for it had root; and it represents the condition of those who do not quite cast off their profession, and yet come short of any saving benefit by it; the good they gain by the word, being insensibly overcome and overborne by the things of the world. Prosperity destroys the Word in the heart, as much as persecution does; and more dangerously, because more silently. The stones spoiled the root, the thorns spoil the fruit. Now what are these choking thorns?

    First, They represent the cares of this world. Care for another world (heaven) would quicken the springing of this seed, but care for this world chokes it. Worldly cares are fitly compared to thorns, for they came in with sin, and are a fruit of the curse; they are good in their place to stop a gap, but a man must be well armed that deals much in them (see 2 Sam. 23:6, 7); they are entangling, vexing, scratching, and their end is to be burned, (see Heb. 6:8). These thorns choke the good seed. Note, worldly cares are great hindrances to our profiting by the word of Yahweh, and our proficiency in the faith. They eat up that vigour of soul which should be spent in divine things; divert us from duty, distract us in duty, and do us most mischief of all afterwards; quenching the sparks of good affections, and bursting the cords of good resolutions; those who are careful and cumbered about many things, commonly neglect the one thing needful (see Luke 10:42).

    Secondly, They represent the deceitfulness of riches. Those who, by their care and industry, have raised estates, and so the danger that arises from care seems to be over, and they continue hearers of the word, yet are still in a snare (see Jer. 5:4, 5); it is hard for those that are rich to enter into the kingdom of heaven (see Matthew 19:23): they rely upon riches, and take an inordinate complacency in riches; and this chokes the Word as much as care did. Observe, It is not so much riches, as the deceitfulness of riches, that does the mischief: now they cannot be said to be deceitful to us unless we put our confidence in them, and raise our expectations from them, and then it is that they choke the good seed. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The thorny heart is choked to death by the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. Today I turn my back eternally to the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Be delivered today from the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
