WHAT FASTING OFFERS (11): DIVINE DIRECTION

And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Isaiah 58:11 (KJV)

There are few things in life that are as profitable as divine direction. In fact, without divine direction you would end up in the hands of your enemies. One misdirection can ruin your entire life. It doesn’t matter how successful you are now, just one misdirection can bring you to poverty and defeat. Until you are where God wants you to be, doing what He wants you to be doing, you may not see His manifestation no matter how hard you pray. Pa Hagin told his personal story along this line. He missed Adonai in changing Church one time. He accepted to pastor this Church based on fleece and left the Church he was pastoring. He would pray all week long and was full of power but as soon as he stepped into that Church it was as if he was poured cold water and he would lose everything he has for that service. You are always your best at the place Yahweh placed you. So whatever you would do to get on key with divine direction, is great wisdom.

Now we have this guarantee from the Word of Yahweh that when we fast, that our Yahweh shall guide us continually. Fasting deals with your flesh. What disconnects us from the voice of Yahweh most times is the flesh. We eat ourselves away and become guilty of the sin of surfeiting. Surfeiting is what the Lord Yahushua says in Luke 21:34, ‘And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.’ The Greek word is KRAIPALE meaning a glut. Glut is to overeat or eat immodestly; make a pig of oneself. Surfeiting is a sin. Overeating or eat immodestly is a sin. When we dwell in that realm, the flesh cuts us off from the voice of direction both from the Word and the Voice of the Holy Spirit. This is what fasting does for us, it delivers us from the clutches of surfeiting, so we can be sensitive to the leading of the Lord.

It was as Apostle Peter was fasting that he both saw a vision and as he thought on the vision, he heard the voice of the Holy Spirit. Maybe if he was surfeiting, he would not have seen anything. Fasting sharpens our spirit-man as the flesh is dethroned.

As we wrap up the teaching for this month, please I implore you to read more on fasting; how to break a long fast; what to eat in the case of a partial fast; how to set your fasting objectives and schedule your prayer times to make the most of your fasting season. Fasting is not to boost that you are fasting, no, but to press into answers and change of story. There are a lot of useful resources available. Also look into the Bibliography of this month’s edition and try to lay your hands on the materials mentioned. I see you already emerging a force both to the heavenlies and to the gates of hell. Shalom!

REMEMBER: Fasting offers you opportunity to tap into divine direction.

PRAYER: Beloved Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I receive grace to lead a consecrational fasted lifestyle from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: As this month ends tomorrow, I decree that there shall be no carry-over of January’s blessings to February. I decree that within 48 hours that you enter practically into all that the Lord has released for you this month. As the month begins to close, I decree that your fasting life will explode to new dimensions leading to the harvest of increase, abundance, advantage of the Holy Spirit, favour and glory from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

Sunday DECEMBER 31, 2023

THANKFUL FOR DECEMBER 2023

Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.
Isaiah 30:29 [KJV]

What a day! The last day of the month of December. The last day of the year 2023. In a couple of hours we shall arrive 2024 and that in good health and sound mind. What a good Yahweh we serve. Taking us all the way from January 1^st to December 31^st 2023, providing for us, protecting us, preserving us, leading and guiding us. We are here today to say THANK YOU LORD YAHWEH! For You are good and Your mercies endures forever. Of a truth, I have seen Your mercies and I can confidently say that I do not deserve the least of the loving kindness which has been super abundant towards me and mine all through 2023. You led us through the harsh economic weather that was orchestrated by inept and evil governance. You saw us through and even prospered us in the midst of it. THANK YOU LORD YAHWEH!

In January 2023, You gave us the prophetic word “I Am Empowered On the Altar of Fasting and Prayer To Serve The Dependable God.”. In February, You brought us into your love with the prophetic focus, “Yahweh’s Love Is Dependable But Can He Depend On My Love?” In March you ushered us into the school of faith with the prophetic theme, “Blessed Is The Person That Believes For That Person Shall Experience The Performance Of The Dependable Yahweh.” In April You focused us on soul-winning with the prophetic focus, “I Am Partnering With The Lord In Ingathering Of Souls And Enjoying The Wages And Rewards Of The Dependable Yahweh.” In May the prophetic theme of “The Word Builds Me Up And Shows Me My Inheritance In The Dependable Yahweh.” brought us into the Word. In June You focused us on Praise with the prophetic tag “I Am Experiencing Divine Visitation Of The Dependable Yahweh Resulting In Drastic, Dramatic And Dimensional Turnaround By Praise.”

In July, you brought into the place of prosperity with the prophetic word, “My prosperity is the pleasure of the Dependable Yahweh.” In August, You exploded with the prophetic focus, “Without Holiness No Eye Shall See The Manifestation Of The Dependable Yahweh In Time And Eternity.” focusing us on Holiness/Consecration/Sanctification. In September, You focused us on Healing, Health and Wholeness with the prophetic Word tagged “Healing, Health And Wholeness Is My Inheritance In The Dependable Yahweh.” focusing us on Health and Healing. In October, you launched us into Divine Wisdom with the prophetic Word “I Live And Maximize My Life By The Wisdom Of The Dependable Yahweh.” In November, You brought into the school of the Holy Spirit with the prophetic focus, “I Live And Maximize My Life By The Wisdom Of The Dependable Yahweh.” Wow and you are crowning the year with “I Am The Dependable Yahweh, I Know Where You Are Going, Follow My Leading.” focusing us on Divine Direction. THANK YOU LORD YAHWEH for the continuous rain of Your word day in day out.

It takes a song to invoke Yahweh’s presence and until Yahweh is present you cannot hear His voice of direction. So today, let us be extravagant in praise making demand as we praise the beauty of holiness on the presence of Yahweh for direction into 2024. If there are still grey areas please praise Yahweh like mad today until you sense His peace. 2024 shall be your year to be wondered at. It shall be a year to focus 24/7 on soul-winning and through that Yahweh shall announce His saints to heights they would never have imagined.

Happy New Year In Advance!

REMEMBER: Praise sets the presence for the voice of Yahweh to be heard.

THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, we are not worthy of the least of Your mercies. What shall we say for taking us through the whole month of December, and through the whole year of 2023, no loss, no tears, we saw goodness and mercies, abundance of blessings in front and at the back. Thank You for the salvation of my soul. Thank You for the continuous flow of Your Word on this platform. Thank You for Your preservation, provision and supplies. Thank You for abundance of Your Word of divine direction this month. To You alone be all the glory in the Name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Having returned with thanksgiving today, I declare that everything with your name on it still hanging be released now. There shall be no carry-over of Year 2023 releases in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (4): OPPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN CARE OF

#WordForTodayDevotional

Saturday DECEMBER 30, 2023

PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (4): OPPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN CARE OF

Seeing it is a righteous thing with Yahweh to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
I Thessalonians 1:6 (KJV)

When you follow divine direction, oppositions to your Yahweh-ordained inheritance are taken care of by Yahweh. Yahweh takes your enemies down for your sake. It is a righteous thing with Yahweh to smite all that rise up against you (see II Thessalonians 1:6). Even Yahushua had to surrender himself otherwise no hands could be laid on Him. Those that came to arrest the Lord Jesus had to fall before him. They couldn’t stand his presence. No man could harm Yahushua until He surrendered himself for the cross. John 18:4-6 showed us that, ‘4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.’ You are indomitable walking in the will of Yahweh; following divine direction for your life. I Peter 3:13 says, ‘And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?’ You are unconquerable following divine direction because all the powers of heaven are at your disposal to handle any satanic uprisings. You don’t struggle to reign and rule following divine direction.

Psalms 25:1,5 says, ‘1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.’ Following Yahweh’s plan for your life renders the devil helpless over you. You become unbeatable, a man respected by hell. Why? Because Yahweh cannot send you on a mission and Satan hijack you. He may attempt to, by causing uproar and confusion, so that you don’t have access to Yahweh’s voice; but once you refuse to be distracted, Satan cannot handle you. Remember that it is Yahweh’s will to lead you to where the pastures are green. He is committed to leading you to where your profiting lies (Isaiah 48:17), but you must be a committed follower. I believe that your commitment to following divine direction will skyrocket after knowing what it has to offer you.

The life of king David is another vivid example of Yahweh taking care of oppositions when you are following divine direction. The only time king David recorded evil in his life and family were times that he sinned against the Lord. Can you imagine the powers that be in a country with all the military might coming against a man to crush him still they couldn’t? That was because David was committed to following divine instructions. They hunted David, still couldn’t handle him (see I Samuel 26). Instead Yahweh brought the opposition King Saul into David’s hand to do with him as he wishes to show that following divine direction you are never at the mercy of your enemies and adversaries; instead, they are at your mercy. Selah!

REMEMBER: You are indomitable, unconquerable, indestructible and invincible following divine direction.

PRAYER: Beloved Father, I thank you for your word to me today. I receive grace to be diligent in following your leading all my days in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: As we prepare to enter the new year 2024, I decree that you will not miss Yahweh in any inch of your undertakings all through 2024. As the month and year begins to close, I decree that your spiritual life will explode to new dimensions leading to the harvest of increase, abundance, advantage of the Holy Spirit, favour and glory from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (3): EASE OF OPERATIONS

#WordForTodayDevotional

Friday DECEMBER 29, 2023

PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (3): EASE OF OPERATIONS

And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
Mark 11:4 (KJV)

There is supernatural ease of operations when you are in divine plan, following divine leading. Things work on their own accord. You don’t stress yourself, yet you see results that human efforts cannot deliver within such time frames. One of the things to see and check if you are in divine plan is when there is unnecessary struggling, toiling and sweating to achieve what Yahweh is saying to you. If Yahweh says it, then He moves ahead of you to make the crooked places straight before you. In Mark 11:1-7, we saw the Lord Jesus giving two of His disciples an assignment to go bring the colt. The instruction was so precise and when they followed that leading, struggling and sweating was eliminated. They didn’t have to speak long grammar to bring the colt; there was ease of operations. The only problem is can we just be diligent to follow His leading? Can we just jettison our ideas and plans and follow His leading? When we do, the Word declares, ‘2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the Yahweh of Israel.’ (Isaiah 45:2-3).

The Lord led Philips to the desert and commanded him to join the chariot of an Ethiopian eunuch (see Acts 8:26-40). If you read that account you would see the ease of operations when the Spirit of Yahweh is leading you. This truth is consistent in the whole of the scriptures. There is always Yahweh going before you to make the crooked places straight. Protocols are broken when you follow divine direction. Hearts are willing to comply with you when you follow divine direction. When Solomon was following Yahweh’s plan for his life, he had peace. There was quietness, assurance and prosperity throughout Israel because Solomon was walking in love with Yahweh. But time came when he started walking outside of Yahweh’s plan for His life and the Word says that Yahweh raised adversaries for him (see I Kings 11:14). The Lord stirred up adversary unto Solomon. So, in life, when you are challenged, it is wisdom to check yourself, if you are walking in Yahweh’s will and following divine direction. If you are losing in life in any direction, sit down and count your steps and see if you are missing Yahweh on any direction.

When Jacob was coming back to Canaan following divine direction of Yahweh that asked him to return, the Word says, ‘And they journeyed: and the terror of Yahweh was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.’ (Genesis 35:5). Because he was walking in divine direction, there was ease of operations and safety by the terror of Yahweh.

REMEMBER: When Yahweh leads you, He goes before you to straighten the crooked places.

PRAYER: Beloved Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I receive grace to access your plan and to walk step by step in your direction as you go before me for ease of operations in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree every crookedness in your life straightened out today by the power of the Holy Spirit in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (2): DIVINE BACK UP

#WordForTodayDevotional

Thursday DECEMBER 28, 2023

PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (2): DIVINE BACK UP

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)

When Yahweh leads you, He backs you up so much that your words becomes law. Yahweh worked with them so much as they went preaching everywhere that it was said of them “The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.” (Acts 14:11). They literally became gods walking in divine direction. When you obey the command of Yahweh, it makes you a commander on earth. Yahweh’s leading makes you a leader among people. Whether it is in your business, career or family, when you obey divine direction, you enjoy divine back up. So many things we suffer today is just a function of not walking in divine direction. The Lord Jesus said “verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” (John 5:19). The Lord Yahushua Himself enjoyed divine back up not because he was born of a virgin birth, not because he is the son of Yahweh but because he accessed divine direction and did accordingly. The man who was healed that was born blind alluded to the fact that if Yahushua was not of Yahweh that is following divine direction, “he could do nothing.” (John 9:33).

One of the commands that our Lord Yahushua gave us was to “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15). Whatever your job is today is your vehicle to reach people in your world. As you go about that your business/career preaching to people and bringing them to church to be established, you would enjoy so much divine backup that your colleagues would be amazed at you. This one primary assignment of soul-winning is key to enjoying the backing of heaven in your life and world. The sole business of Yahweh on earth today is to salvage souls from perishing in the lake of fire and whosoever that will partner with Him on this one thing, no matter what your work/business is, will enjoy divine back up so much that you will become a point of reference to your colleagues and competitors in business. Yahweh would just set you apart for glory, beauty and colour that will even amaze yourself. Obeying the commandment of soul-winning makes you a commander in life. Yahweh went full length with people in history that took this divine business seriously and made a masterpiece of them to their world.

“The Lord was working with them …” that was divine back up in raw manifestation. I Thessalonians 5:24 says, ‘Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.’ Yahweh is behind the execution of every divine plan. Once you locate His plan for your life and are following it, Yahweh stands strong behind you, to accomplish it. That is why to wander out of the course He has charted for you is to live a miserable life. You shall not miss Yahweh any more from now in Jesus’ Name Amen!

REMEMBER: Walking in divine direction activates divine backing upon you.

CONFESSION: I am a tree planted by the streams of water that brings forth its fruits in season. I enjoy divine backing each step of the way because am on divine business and profiting thereof. Glory to Yahweh!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: From today, you become a dare not to the powers of darkness in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (1): SUPERNATURAL PRESERVATION

#WordForTodayDevotional

Wednesday DECEMBER 27, 2023

PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (1): SUPERNATURAL PRESERVATION

He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
Deuteronomy 32:9 (KJV)

There are immense profits in following divine direction. We shall explore a few within a couple of days from today. There is nobody that obeys the Lord Yahweh at a loss. When Yahweh leads you in a particular direction, He takes the extra step of dispatching angels to protect you along that path. No force in hell can stop a man who has discovered the plan of Yahweh for his life and is pursuing it, as angelic forces are on hand to fight on his behalf, to cut off any adversary that dares to come near. Exodus 23:20, 22-23 says, ‘20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.’ The job of the angel assigned to you is to keep you in the way and to bring you into your destiny. He monitors the divine plan handed over to you and ensures that it is realized. He clears off any opposition that may want to obstruct you.

This was the great secret of the conquest and conquering might of king David. He always hear Yahweh’s leading on any expedition. Consequently, Yahweh ensures that he is preserved. Yahweh goes before the led to preserve him/her. You are literally indestructible both to human and satanic powers. Yahweh’s leading brings you to operate as a Yahweh on earth. This was also evident in the life of Moses. Moses, literally terrorised Egypt and no one could arrest him or even thought of killing him because when Yahweh is leading you, He goes before you to make the crooked places straight. He becomes an adversary to your adversaries. Everyone that opposes you en route destination of Yahweh’s leading faces divine vengeance.

Ezra 8:31 says, ‘Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our Yahweh was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.’ This is always the testimony of Yahweh’s leading. This was literally an impossible journey to attempt with all the treasures that they carried without royal security escort. But when a man is working under divine direction, heaven deploys angelic escort to ensure you are protected and preserved en route the assignment. Beloved, get into divine direction and see what peace and rest will be yours by virtue of supernatural preservation around you and yours. Selah!

REMEMBER: There is supernatural preservation in walking in divine direction.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask for the grace to be on key with your direction in every department of the my life hence qualifying for supernatural preservation in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree angelic surveillance in your life and family in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

KINGLY GIFTS – BOXING DAY

#WordForTodayDevotional

Tuesday DECEMBER 26, 2023

KINGLY GIFTS – BOXING DAY

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

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

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

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

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

REMEMBER: The Kingly Gifts paid homage to Jesus’ royalty, deity and humanity.

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

PROPHETIC RELEASE: This day shall mark the beginning of favour in such dimension that will bring tears to your eyes in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

Luke 2:6-7 says, ‘6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.’ The groping in the dark was finally over. The Way was born. Angels heralded it with joy. Luke 2:8-15, ‘8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising Yahweh, and saying, 14 Glory to Yahweh in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.’

Beloved, our search came to an end the day HaMashiach was born. Throughout all ages, people had desired to related with Yahweh in a more personal intimate ways but it was impossible because of sin. Humanity lost Eden the place of Yahweh’s presence (Emmanuel) and unfortunately we didn’t know how to get back there. We lost the way. Oh! but what is this sound the angels just heralded now? It is joy that the way to the Father was born. We just got back the way to Eden.. This is something to shout about. No wonder, the angels could not contain their joy. Humanity just got back the way to the presence of Yahweh. This means beloved, that you should never miss your way again in life because Christ the way is born and today we are remembering and celebrating this good tidying of great joy. Halleluyah!

Divine direction should not be a mystery any more. Nothing in life should be a mystery any more because the demystifier is born. Best of all, we are now in Him. I am now at home with the Father living right inside of me. Yahweh is no more a mystery to me, all because of Yahushua HaMashiach. Beloved, hope you know Him. Hope you are in Him. Hope you have surrendered your life to Yahushua HaMashiach and living in love with Him. Rejoice if you have done that because you are the most blessed and favoured on earth. Rejoice today and share with someone that the way is born. The Way to the Father, the Way to life and peace. The Way to eternity in the Kingdom of Yahweh. The Way that has separated us from eternity in the lake of fire. Halleluyah! Merry Christmas!

REMEMBER: The way to the direction we are looking for is Yahushua HaMashiach.

THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, thank you for the birth of Yahushua HaMashiach. Thank You for loving us so much that You brought us back to the place of Your presence, to Eden. Thank You for saving me and I ask that someone somewhere who has not known You would see the light today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Today shall mark the beginning of unending celebration in your life and family in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

THE GREAT VISITATION – CHRISTMAS EVE

#WordForTodayDevotional

Sunday DECEMBER 24, 2023

THE GREAT VISITATION – CHRISTMAS EVE

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from Yahweh unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, Luke 1:26 (KJV)

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

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

Divine visitation secures direction. In this great visitation, Joseph was directed (see Matthew 1:20-21). We have about seven days to arrive 2024 and I would want you to ask Yahweh to grant you divine visitation that would give you clean cut direction for 2024. Merry Christmas Eve!

REMEMBER: Divine visitation guarantees direction.

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

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

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR SPIRIT TO RECOGNIZE HIS LEADING (4): PROMPT OBEDIENCE

#WordForTodayDevotional

Saturday DECEMBER 23, 2023

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR SPIRIT TO RECOGNIZE HIS LEADING (4): PROMPT OBEDIENCE

His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. John 2:5 (KJV)

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

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

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

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

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

PROPHETIC RELEASE: The grace to instantly obey the leading of the Holy Spirit in your spirit is upon you from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
