  • THE FACTS VERSUS THE TRUTH

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday November 5, 2020

    THE FACTS VERSUS THE TRUTH

    For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
    John 1:17 (KJV)

    Not differentiating between the fact and the truth will keep you bound to sickness. On the surface, they seem to mean the same thing but are actually very different. While a fact is the description of the state of a thing, the truth is the reality of a thing.   The truth is always constant, but the fact changes based on the prevailing situation. Water, for example, is said to have three states: solid, liquid and gaseous states. Depending on the temperature, the state changes. That’s how a fact is. It is so unreliable. It may be a fact that your body temperature is high, but the truth is that you are healed by His stripes (I Peter 2:24). That you have not carried your own baby does not make you barren. The Bible says, ‘No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land’ (Exo.23:26). Again the Bible says in Deut.7:14, ‘You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.’

    But how could you claim to be healed when it is a fact that your body is still hot, or your legs still crippled? Are you not lying? Remember the words of Jesus: ‘Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth’ (John.17:17). Whatever the Word says is the truth. And if the Word says I am healed, then let every stethoscope, sphygmomanometer or thermometer, ‘be a liar.’ “Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar…” (Rom.3:4).  The Bible also says in John 8:32, ‘And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free’.  Jonah 2:8 says, ‘They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.’ Every symptom is a lie of the devil, but if you keep observing and believing such lying vanities, you will forfeit the mercy of divine healing.

    While (still) in the belly of the fish, Jonah said, ‘But I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.’ (Jon. 2:9).  It really was a sacrifice of thanksgiving. It would not be that easy for you to give thanks to God while being in the belly of a fish. That was why he called it a sacrifice. You may have to offer that sacrifice of thanksgiving in spite of your situation. When Jonah offered that sacrifice of thanksgiving in the midst of an unsavoury situation, we see the result in the following verse.  ‘So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah unto dry land.’ (Jonah 2:10).  Can you see the effects of thanking God? The fish that swallowed him couldn’t keep him. Beloved, if you can stop blaming God for your predicament, if you can stop feeling sorry for yourself, if you can stop the bitterness, things will change for the better. Yes, it doesn’t matter whose fault it is, the first step to a full recovery is for you to stop playing the blame game. Sometimes you hear people saying, “After all the commitment and sacrifice I’ve made for God, is this His way of rewarding me?” Being ungrateful makes one a great fool. Start thanking God and no situation will be able to keep you down.

    REMEMBER:  It maybe a fact that your head hurts, but it is the truth that you were healed.

    CONFESSION:  I am not moved by what I see or feel.  I am only moved by the truth, the Word of God.  I am the healed and I cannot be sick.  Glory to God!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  Whatever is negating the truth in your life is cursed now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • IT IS NOT ONLY THE BODY THAT CAN BE SICK

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday November 4, 2020

    IT IS NOT ONLY THE BODY THAT CAN BE SICK

    Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
    Deuteronomy 28:59 (KJV)

    When we talk about sickness, it is important to note that it is not only the body of man that can be sick.  Your business can be sick.  Your career can be sick.  Your marriage can be sick. Whatever that is not working well is sick.  Whatever is not in the state of wellness and wholeness is sick.  You are working on something and after you have put in every effort still no results, that venture and endeavour is sick.  So sickness transcends the sphere of the physical body.  In our opening text, we saw the plague of the seed.  This was talking about your source of income, meaning that your source of livelihood can be sick.  Then it talks about when something happens over a long period, then that thing is sick.  If a particular negative situation persists, you are looking at sickness of that particular situation.  When you discover that you are putting in much and getting little or no results at all, then it is time to start calling for the healing of that particular thing.

    II Chronicles 7:14 says, ‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.’  We see that the land can be sick.  When the land is sick, it refuses to yield her increase.  People will start suffering unnecessarily.  There will be famine because the land would not yield; the land is sick.  As a person, your land can be sick. Anything of long continuance is sick and needs healing.  Staying for a long time in the state of being unmarried is the manifestation of marital destiny sickness.  Graduating from college and not able to get a job over a long time is the manifestation of destiny sickness.

    We are highlighting all these areas to show that sickness is not just a body affair.  You must look into your life and see if there is any aspect that the healing touch of the Lord Jesus must touch this month and bring them out.  Jesus Christ is our great physician and He heals all manner of sicknesses both in the body and in life and destiny.  No matter how far your marriage has gone down the drain, it can be healed today.  Just about anything can be healed.  In II Kings 4:38-41 we saw death in the pot and how the prophet cast a meal into the pot and arrested that death.  The Word of God is the meal that destroys all manner of death in the pot.  No matter what is not working, the Word of Christ Jesus can heal it today.  Just expose that situation to the great Physician today.

    REMEMBER:  Whatever that is not working over a long period of time is sick.

    PRAYER:  Father, I thank You for Your Word to me today.  I ask that you heal my marriage (mention that area) today.  Oh Great Physician, heal my finances (mention that area) now and take all the glory in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  I decree that you are returning with your testimony on that request in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • SICKNESS IS A CURSE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday November 3, 2020

    SICKNESS IS A CURSE

    Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
    Galatians 3:13 (KJV)

    This point is important you understand that sickness is a curse.  It is a curse that came as a result of sin.  Genesis 2:16-17 says, ‘16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.’  Just as we have established already that sickness and disease are instruments of death.  So when the punishment of sin was pronounced as death, sickness and disease were included in that death package.  Beloved, sickness/disease is a curse of sin, don’t play around it.  Don’t explain it away.  Sickness is not a scientific discovery.  A thousand times No!  Then came the curse of the law.  First was the curse of disobedience, then secondly the curse of the law.  The curse of disobedience came with death punishment and sickness was inside that death package. However, the curse of the law came with mentions that inexplicably draws the line for all to see what to expect when you do not comply with the law of God.

    It scares me to my bones to read these lists of curses in Deuteronomy 28:15-68.  Every form of sickness was covered even the ones that science has not found names for.  Deuteronomy 28:61 says, ‘Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.’  You know what that implies?  All manner of sickness from tumors, to insanity/madness, to all organ failures, to arthritis of all kinds, to all forms of inflammable diseases.  Then it now says that the ones that have not even come to the mind of humanity will still come upon man who insists on remaining in disobedience to the law of the Lord.  That is terrible.  Sickness and disease is clearly a curse.  It is part of the curse of the law and the curse of disobedience at creation.  Beloved, this is one of the incentive to love the Lord God and from that love, obey Him.  The blessing of obedience is awesome.  Do you know that in the Old Testament, there was no revelation of Satan because Satan is so powerless, what gives him power over man is man’s disobedience.  So, the law was given to short-circuit the devil.  If anyone can choose to love the Lord God and obey Him, he would live as though the devil does not exist.

    Now in the New Testament, the power to love the Lord God has been given to us in the new creation. If anyone is living in disobedience now, it is absolutely that individual’s choice.  If you are born again, you can live right.  You can love God because you are born of love and love is now your new nature.  Christ has delivered us from the curse of the Law and glory we can live now to please God.  Yes!!!

    REMEMBER:  In Christ, you are free from the curse of sin which includes sickness/disease.

    CONFESSION:  I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. Eternal life is at work in me now.  I cannot be sick because I have been delivered from the territory where one can be sick.  I am now living with Christ far about sickness.  Hallelujah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  Every trace of the curse of sin still manifesting in your life is cursed now in Jesus name Amen!

  • WHERE DID SICKNESS COME FROM?

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday November 2, 2020

    WHERE DID SICKNESS COME FROM?

    For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
    Romans 5:17 [KJV]

    Wherever you see death, just know that included in that death package is sickness and disease. Sickness and disease are instruments of death.  That is why, you must not treat the issues of your physical health with levity.  When a person sees headache for instance (God forbid, not you), that person is being toasted by death.  It is the spirit of death that is knocking and depending on how you handle that seemingly harmless headache, will determine if you will join your forefathers in the grave (God forbid, not you).  But we are saying that to say that sickness and disease are just the effects of a cause – sin.  In Genesis chapters one and two, there was no mention of sin and consequently no sickness.  But when sin came in Genesis chapter three, death was birthed and when he death came, he brought his agents, sickness and disease.  It is the offence of one Adam that brought sickness and disease and death.  All glory to Jehovah, because that is not the end of the story.

    By the offence of Adam, man sold out to the devil and became a slave and under the dominion of Satan.  The problem now is not only sin and disobedience, but of a legal handing over of dominion by man willingly to the devil.  Man was created to rule over the earth but now legally man sold his right and dominion to the devil by obeying him because you are the servant to him whom you obey (see Romans 6:16).  The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), so for the demands of justice to be fulfilled, someone must die.  So sickness, disease, infirmity and all afflictions in the body came from the devil.  They were what the devil brought to man at the fall.  You are not sick because of lack of diet or because of your environment.  No!  A thousand times No!  Sickness is the instrument of death and it is from Satan powered by sin.

    Some people think that God puts sickness on people as punishment.  James 1:17 says, ‘Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.’  Where there is sin, God may permit sickness because of sin (see Exodus 15:26). The Hebrew word translated put in Exodus 15:26 is suwm which can be used in the causative or permissive.  In this instance, it was actually used in the permissive.  So the translation should read, “I will permit none of these diseases”.  We are explaining this to disabuse your mind that God puts diseases on people.  If it is sickness and disease and death, it has only one source and that is Satan powered by sin and wickedness. Hey!  But God has already done something both about sin and Satan.  Christ came, died (satisfied the justice of death), was raised, ascended and is now interceding for you.  In Christ, you are now redeemed from sin, sickness and the blast, death has been abolished! (II Timothy 1:10).  That is something to shout about!

    REMEMBER:   Sickness comes from Satan powered by sin.

    CONFESSION:  Glory to Jehovah, I have been redeemed, not just that, I am now a new creation that has no past.  Sin and its consequences has been completely destroyed and abolished. Now in Christ, I am free from sin, sickness and death.  I have been delivered already. Hallelujah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   I decree that that confession becomes your reality this month and forward in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • PROPHETIC WORD FOR NOVEMBER 2020

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday November 1, 2020

    PROPHETIC WORD FOR NOVEMBER 2020

    Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
    I Peter 2:24 [KJV]

    Hey! It is November already!  Just the other day that the year started, we are already in the eleventh month!  Welcome to the eleventh month of 2020.  We trust that you have been tremendously blessed in the month of October with that awakening on Soul-winning.  It began with us seeing the immense value of a soul.  It was revealing to know that the value of a single soul of man is more worth than all the wealth of the earth put together.  No wonder the Lord God Jehovah paid such a great price and sacrifice to redeem man.  We went on to see that soul-winning is the primary assignment of every believer.  We saw ways that we could get involved in soul-winning.  Then we saw what it took to be successful in soul-winning business.  We then rapped up by discussing the benefits of engagements in God’s conglomerate.  By all means, the passion for the salvation of souls is now burning hot in your soul.  But if by any means, you have not caught it yet, please, do yourself a favour by praying fervently today for that garment of passion for the salvation of the unsaved to come upon you.  This is because, operating faithfully in your primary assignment will bring you to a sweatless zone of life in your Christian adventure and guarantee for you what the Holy Spirit is saying next to us here.

    What then is the Lord saying for the King Priest Family Worldwide in the month of November 2020?  Salvation is a wholistic package.  When the Lord Jesus redeemed you from sin, He also redeemed you from all the other consequences of sin which includes sickness, disease, oppression, death and intimidation of Satan.  The same price that was paid for us sufficed for the things that came as a result of sin.  There was no record of sickness and death until sin came on board.  Romans 5:12 says that it is by one man that sin entered into the world, and death by sin; meaning that when there was no sin, there was no death: sickness and disease are instruments of death.  Whenever and wherever you see sickness and disease, what you are looking at is the process of death.  So when Jesus Christ paid the price for the salvation and redemption of man from the self inflicted slavery to the devil, that price took care of all the other consequences of sin, sickness and diseases inclusive.  

    Our prophetic focus for the Month of November 2020 therefore, is ‘IN CHRIST I HAVE BEEN HEALED AND DELIVERED ALREADY’ (I Peter 2:24; Colossians 1:13).  In this great month of the eleventh hour dimension of testimonies, God is going to inundate us with the light to walk free of sickness and diseases and to live in health all our days on earth because that already belongs to us in Christ.  They are people today that run from one place to another looking for deliverance from enemies and Satan.  However, if you are genuinely born again, you have already been delivered from the dominion of darkness (see Colossian 1:13).  Not only were you delivered, you were translated into the kingdom of Christ Jesus far above principalities and power and every name that is named (see Ephesians 1:17-23).  So if you are running around looking for deliverance from Satan and generational curse, you are surely looking for what is not missing, no wonder the frustrations had continued.   Beloved, “but why am I still suffering like this?  Why am I still being buffeted with sickness?  Why am I still labouring under generational curses?” you maybe asking.  The answer is Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: …” and Galatians 4:1-3, “Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;  2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.  3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:”.  What God is doing this month is opening us up to knowledge so that every form of destruction wherein anyone has laboured till now shall be broken off.  Welcome to your season of the manifestation of healing, health, wholeness and deliverance in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    Happy New Month!

    REMEMBER:  In Christ I Have Been Healed And Delivered Already.

    THANKSGIVING:  Dear Father, thank you for the privilege of life, of seeing a new month. Thank You for sending Jesus Christ to pay the prize for my sins and for the privilege of your presence in my life.  Thank You for giving me the blessed Holy Spirit who now lives in me.  Thank You for all you did for us in the month of October.  I am set for this eleventh month, for the eleventh dimension of miracles, for all you desire to do in me and for me.  Thank You in advance for a successful November 2020 in all ramifications in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  I decree that this month of November shall not see your end but you will see its end.  I decree no evil news shall be heard in your life, family and job/business. This month, the heavens open over you and your family for a turnaround your world cannot deny. This month, every agenda of evil against you is shattered now.  You shall only walk in success, increase, favour, supernatural possibilities and triumphs on every side you turn.  No man shall be able to stand against you and your progress all the days of this month.  Testimonies shall be your daily bread this month and celebration unending shall be in your house.  Get ready because as the year is closing, your destiny shall be opening up to new dimensions of glory in the name of Christ Jesus Amen.

  • THANKFUL FOR OCTOBER 2020

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday October 31, 2020

    THANKFUL FOR OCTOBER 2020

    Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
    Colossians 4:2 [KJV]

    Here at WordForTodayDevotional, we devote the last day of every month as our thanksgiving day where we celebrate the grace of God that has seen us through the month.  We do not take for granted the mercies of the Lord from the first of the month to today the thirty-first.  What is thanksgiving and what does it hold for the believer especially in ensuring success in soul-winning?  First of all, we are appreciating God for the privilege of salvation.  The greatest thing that can happen to man in this side of eternity is salvation.  To be saved is the greatest mercy we can receive from the Lord and for that we owe Him thanks.  Come to think of it, without salvation where will you be today?  If the author is to be alive today without salvation, then his life would have been such that he cannot be proud of.  But see that the Lord has done that today we are saved, and sent as instrument to save others.  Father, we thank You for the privilege of salvation. We are enjoying good health, providence, supernatural supplies and preservation all because of salvation.  We are living in zero fear, praising the Lord all the way just because we are saved.  We cannot appreciate you enough for this wonderful miracle of salvation.

    Our opening text says that we should watch with thanksgiving.  Do you understand that?  Do you remember that we discussed intensive intercession as one way to prepare the ground of the heart of the unsaved soul?  Our opening text is saying that as you pray intensely in intercession, that you should keep awake with thanksgiving.  That means that intercession no matter how intense is not enough to win the soul, if the ingredient of thanksgiving is not involved.  You must be vigilant to thank God for the salvation of that soul you are praying for as intensely as you interceded.  This is a breaking point in seeing that the soul is rescued.  You must watch (that is keep awake) with thanksgiving.  This is to underscore the importance of thanksgiving in winning spiritual battles.  No spiritual battle can ever be won without intense thanksgiving.  As intensely as you interceded, you must also thank God for the victory to ever see it in reality.

    Thanksgiving is also instrumental to the preservation of the souls in the local church.  Whatever you thank God for is preserved, so as you begin to thank God for preserving the soul in the local church, He ensures that the soul never draws back.  We saw in Malachi 2:1-2, God threatening to curse the blessing in the lives of the priests because they refused to return with thanksgiving. Whatever success we experience in the harvest field is not because of eloquence or wisdom but it was entirely the grace of God and the work of the Holy Spirit.  Therefore, we must promptly always return with thanksgiving giving God all the glory!  This is very important to preserving whatever gain we made in the harvest field. What God has done for you is only preserved in returning to Him with quality and quantity thanksgiving.  Do that today and make it a lifestyle. Both in your personal life and your soul-winning drive, always know that it is not your power but the help of God and be quick to return with thanksgiving.  You shall continue to grow and see more grace for greater heights in the name of Christ Jesus!

    REMEMBER:  It takes intense thanksgiving to win the harvest field.

    THANKSGIVING:  Dear Father, we are not worth of the least of your mercies.  What shall we say for taking us through the whole month of October, 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 entrusting me with the gospel.  Thank You for manifesting in power as I bear the gospel around the world.  Thank You for your preservation, provision and supplies.  Thank You for abundance of your Word this month.  To You alone be all the glory in the Name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  Having returned with thanksgiving today, I declare that everything with your name on it still hanging be released now.  There shall be no carryover of October releases in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (4): VIBRANT SPIRITUAL LIFE

    #WordForTodadyDevotional

    Friday October 30, 2020

    THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (4):  VIBRANT SPIRITUAL LIFE

    And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
    John 17:19 [KJV]

    In Romans 2:21-21, the word says, ‘ 21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?  22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?’  That goes to say that preaching the gospel forms as a check on your own life.  You cannot preach a thing and afterwards goes right into that sin.  Preaching is one way to maintain a vibrant spiritual life that is burning for the Lord.  The preparations required to engaged in productive evangelism and soul-winning is such that makes for a robust spiritual life. That is why as a benefit of bearing the gospel, your spiritual life is enhanced.  You are always on fire for the Lord.  Another thing that makes that possible is the challenges encountered in the harvest field.   As you go out to preach the gospel, you come in contact with people that have debilitating issues that will take sleep out of your eyes in the night as you cry out to God for intervention in their lives.  There are situations you encountered that fasting just began from there on the spot because you must see that situation changed.  You cannot be doing all that without experiencing fire on continuous basis.

    Another thing is preaching the gospel renews the consciousness of the rapture.  As the consciousness of the rapture bears heavy on your mind, it makes you live ready.  The Word says that if in this world only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable (I Corinthians 15:19).  That is why we are preaching the gospel, because the time of the rapture is at hand and there are many that are yet to hear it.  However, as I bear the gospel, the consciousness of the rapture is awakened in my spirit which makes me live ready.  This is the benefit of going for souls.  In this world now, it is very easy to be carried away with the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches and that day will take one unawares.  To maintain the consciousness is a huge blessing.  One of the criterion of being raptured is that you must be expecting His coming (II Peter 3:12; Hebrews 9:28).  He shall appear to those who look for him; who are hastening and panting for his return.  If preaching the gospel ensure that you are constantly looking forward to his return, then you are in a position where you can never miss the rapture.

    As this months draws to a close beloved, I want you to make a quality decision about your primary assignment.  Would you want to be tagged a failure before your maker?  You are excelling in your secondary assignment but have completely neglected your primary assignment.  This is very bad and I pray that you would not allow today to pass without deciding to reverse this trend in your life.  The truth is that we are living in injury time.  The days are numbers beloved, we do not have all the time to check time.  Whatever you fail to do today, has gone.  Today once it is passed it is gone.  Your colleague that you are watching go to the lake of fire, will never forgive you for not telling him/her about the hope that is available in Christ.  Your own is to tell them, theirs is to accept or reject.  Whatever, they do with the decision, you would have fulfilled your own lot.  There are tremendous benefits in being faithful to the course of soul-winning as we have seen a few.  May the Lord enfire you to make a quality decision about the gospel today.  Selah!

    REMEMBER:  Soul-winning helps you maintain vibrancy spiritually and also rapture consciousness.

    PRAYER:  Dear Father, thank You for your Word to me today.  I ask for the grace to be on the go with the gospel of Christ as it helps me maintain spiritual vibrancy and rapture consciousness in the Name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  From today, I see your spiritual fire escalating to the next level and a high level of rapture consciousness engulfing your soul in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (3): SUPERNATURAL ADDITIONS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday October 29, 2020

    THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (3):  SUPERNATURAL ADDITIONS

    But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
    Matthew 6:33 (KJV)

    From our opening verse, the Lord spoken to Bishop David Oyedepo “Seek me and the interest of my kingdom first and all these things that men are running after shall be added to you”.  “I want to build a house of my own”.  “I want to buy a new car.”  “I want to marry this year.”  All these things that people are running after are additions to the person that goes about bearing the gospel.  The author hates suffering and smiling.  He strives to find out the way to get something without struggling and takes that path.  You can suffer your head out just to build yourself a house.  You save, you deny yourself of some many things, then after 20 years, hallelujah! You have a roof over your own head.  There is another route.  Be committed to the gospel and a roof over your hand is supernaturally added to you within five years of desiring one and that without going through all the denials and suffering.  Which one would you rather opt for?  Seeking God and the interest of His kingdom which is the salvation of the souls of men, endears you to God for supernatural additions of those things that men are running around town for.  It is foolishness to opt in for sufferhead!

    Apostle Peter asked the Lord Jesus, what would be their lot that have left everything to follow him.  Matthew 19:28-29 says, ‘ 28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.   29  And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.’  That goes to say that in this life, you have a guarantee of an hundredfold returns for following the interest of the Kingdom.  Beloved, thirtyfold is even mindblowing, let alone an hundredfold.  You cannot pursue God and the interest of His Kingdom and be last for it; and be pitied for it.  It is a privilege to be called with this holy calling of bearing the gospel of Christ.  It is a very high calling in life.

    There is no business that is more profitable in life like the Kingdom business.  Our supreme partner in this business is so faithful that when your commitment is verified, your returns just begins to amaze even you yourself.  You begin to wonder what you have done to deserve the avalanche of favour, goodness and mercy that keeps littering your paths.  I believe that it is your turn in case all that is discussed today sounds too good to be true.  It is your turn to see additions beyond your imaginations.  Now commit to bearing the gospel to the people in your sphere of contacts both online and offline.  By all means preach the gospel today.  When your commitment is varied, you will only be amazed at the returns.  Shalom!

    REMEMBER:  Bearing the gospel triggers supernatural additions in life.

    PRAYER:  Beloved Father, I thank you for your word to me today. I receive grace to daily bear the gospel to the people in my sphere of contacts.  I connect to the supernatural additions in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  Begin to walk in the reality of supernatural additions which will produce the harvest of increase, abundance, advantage of the Holy Spirit, favour and glory from now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (2): POTENTIALS ARE RELEASED

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday October 28, 2020

    THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (2):  POTENTIALS ARE RELEASED

    Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
    Matthew 10:2 (KJV)

    The truth is that there are potentials locked up inside of you that are waiting for your active participation in preaching the gospel to be unlocked.  There are things that are latent in you beloved and can only be unlocked as the power of God begins to flow through you to change the lives and destinies of the people in your sphere of contacts.  So engaging in the assignment of soul-winning unlocks latent gifts and callings in your life.  Whatever God has given you in terms of gifts and potentials, He is not going to take it back (Romans 11:29), but they can be untapped until you enter eternity.  Preaching the gospel is the easy way to unlock the gifts and calling of God upon your life.  No matter what your secondary assignment on earth is, your primary assignment can bring it to prominence.  The gospel raises whatever it comes into contact with, be it your career or business.  As you give yourself to the work of preaching the gospel, everything in your life is enhanced because of divine presence.  Divine presence is a like a fertile soil upon which whatever you sow on it produces maximally.

    Look at the disciples of the Lord Jesus.  Acts 4:13 says that the Pharisees and the Sadducees marvelled at them.  They were perplexed to see that these seemingly ignorant men have become men to be wondered at.  That is what the gospel does in the life of anyone.  It has the ability to turn nonentities to celebrities.  It has the power to manifest the marvels of your life to those who think that nothing can come out of you.  The greatest answer to your critics is to be committed to the gospel because therein lies the power to make you a wonder in the midst of men.  They marvelled at the disciples and took notice and knowledge that they had been with Jesus.  You see your association with Jesus only profits you on the wings of bearing the gospel. If you want people to see the colour of your Christianity, then go mad for the gospel and see how beautiful your feet becomes.  Men will literally want to lick your feet just to make contact with you.  There is nothing that glorifies like bearing the gospel.

    There is something in you.  You are not ordinary.  You are laden with gifts and calling.  Your calling to preach is the sickle that harvests the gifts of God in your life.  The gospel is a double edged sword, it profits the bearer and the receiver.  You are doing yourself great disservice by neglecting your primary assignment as a Christian.  The truth is time is very short.  You do not have eternity to fulfill destiny.  Get going beloved!  Fulfill your ministry, preach the Word.  Tell the good news till nobody in your sphere of contacts is going to hell.  Then, suddenly, the world would begin to mind you as a result of potentials that are beginning to show forth all around you.  Selah!

    REMEMBER:  It is only bearing the gospel that has the ability to unlock the gifts and calling upon your life.

    PRAYER:  Precious Father, thank you for enlightening me today, I receive the grace to run with the gospel because the time is short.  Help me to unlock all the potentials you have locked up inside me in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  I decree that the gifts and calling of God upon your life finds expression as you go bearing the gospel in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (1): DIVINE PRESENCE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday October 27, 2020

    THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (1): DIVINE PRESENCE

    And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
    Mark 16:20 (KJV)

    If you want to know the pulsated presence of Jehovah, go preaching. Divine presence always accompanies those that bring good news. Many believers are wondering if they are still in the faith because there is no manifestation of God around them at all. This is because the power of God is in the gospel and it is only those that bear it that see that power manifest in real terms. The glory of God is upon His Word and those who herald it experience that glory both in their own personal lives and through them to others who now become partakers of the glory of the gospel. Beloved, are you thirsty to see the manifestation of the Lord in your life? Are you desiring to see God work with you? Then get going with the gospel. Go preaching the Word. Start sharing the Word with your family, friends, colleagues and associates and see how instantly there will be divine confirmations.

    We have heard testimonies of those that were condemned to death by one terminal sickness or the other and they carried their last breath to preach and share the gospel. When you are in the harvest field, you are an instrument to bring healing to others. The pipe that carries water cannot be thirsty. So in the process of sharing the gospel, the affliction went back to hell. They went to the doctors and confirmed that the terminal disease has been terminated. These testimonies come in from time to time confirming that you are the first beneficiary of the power of God that accompanies you to preaching the gospel. It first of all eliminates the issue of shame and reproach in your own life. But that power will never work for you until you are committed to the gospel. Our opening verse says that they went everywhere preaching and the Lord was working with them. They didn’t seat down; they went. As you begin to go, the presence of God floods your path and do things in your life that you only wished were possible.

    You can be an instrument of healing and deliverance if you will yield yourself to the assignment of the gospel today. All your long list of prayer requests will be a thing of the past if you would get going with the gospel today. Why is that so? Because divine presence benefits you the carrier first and through you reaches the people you are ministering to. That divine presence forbids that you are suffering sickness, disease or lack and want. Whatever will hinder you from doing your task well, is eliminated by God’s presence in the gospel. Go out today and make preaching the gospel your lifestyle and see a new lease of life you never thought possible. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Divine presence follows the preaching of the gospel and benefits the carrier first.

    CONFESSION: I am a bearer of the gospel of Christ Jesus making disciples of the people in my sphere of contacts. Today and always, preaching the gospel is my lifestyle. I am committed to the gospel. Glory be God!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Anything in your life bringing shame to the gospel of Christ is cursed today and uprooted from your life now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!
