HOW TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (1): READING AND LISTENING TO THE WORD

HOW TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (1): READING AND LISTENING TO THE WORD

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
II Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

Beginning from today, we are going to examine how we can encounter the Word. With all we have seen the Word can do for us, unless we connect with the Word, we cannot enjoy the benefits. So how can we experience the Word and have the Word impart and metamorphose us? As we begin to unfold how we can do this, believe Yahweh to be a doer and not a hearer only. Decide to do and plan to do. Set Word objectives of what you must be covering in the light of what we are going to be showing you in a couple of days to come. It is He that does the Word that is blessed in his/her life (see James 1:22-25). The first way we encounter the Word is to hear it. Romans 10:17 says, ‘So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.’ Hearing the Word is by reading and listening. When you read, you are engaging your eyes and ears at the same time. This is important because what you see, makes impressions on your mind. The ear and the eyes are major channels into your mind and consequently your spirit-man. Consider this instruction from the Lord through Moses in Deuteronomy 11:19, ‘And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.’ This is saying let the ear channel of your children be saturated with the Word practically all the time.

What reading does for you is that it floods your eyes and ears with the Word. What your eyes sees and your ears hears is what remains on your mind and that can be effortless. The work you need to do is to expose something to your eyes and ears, the other reaction of it remaining on your mind is almost involuntary. Even when you don’t plan to think about it, the mind just goes there because it is what it sees and hears that it cogitates upon. Without reading and listening to the Word being read out like audio Bible as we have them in this age, you are cutting off yourself from having the Word make impression of the Spirit on your spirit-man. There is Igbo adage that says “an ocean does not drown a person that it did not see his/her legs”. The Word is powerless in your life unless it comes into contact with your mind and spirit-man and that for a long while.

Beloved, Satan knows this fact, therefore, he makes sure that you don’t make out time to read and listen to the Word. Now, you have to seat down and make a Word reading schedule. If you don’t do it, then it would not be done. You must set your Word reading goals for each day and then you can measure your progress. Why is setting Word targets important? Just the way you cannot measure performance against nothing. There must be a budgeting before you can measure performance or the actual against the budgeted. Same applies in your Word life. If you don’t have a target of what you must cover each day, you are not going to have anything to measure your performance against. Selah!

REMEMBER: Set daily Word reading targets and ensure you are not failing.

CONFESSION: The Word is the food of my spirit and on daily basis, I feed my spirit-man so fat deliberately. I do not take chances on taking care of my spirit-man. I am intentional about my spiritual health. Thank You Lord!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every carelessness about your spiritual health is over from today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

THANKFUL FOR FEBRUARY 2024

THANKFUL FOR FEBRUARY 2024

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 Yahweh 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 twenty-ninth. What is thanksgiving and what does it hold for the believer especially in ensuring success in soul-winning? First of all, we are appreciating Yahweh 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 would 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 what 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh for is preserved, so as you begin to thank Yahweh for preserving the soul in the local church, He ensures that the soul never draws back. We saw in Malachi 2:1-2, Yahweh 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 Yahweh and the work of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we must promptly always return with thanksgiving giving Yahweh all the glory! This is very important to preserving whatever gain we made in the harvest field. What Yahweh 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 Yahweh and be quick to return with thanksgiving. You shall continue to grow and see more grace for greater heights in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach!

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

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 February 2024, 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 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 February releases in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

IT IS ABOUT BEING FAITHFUL

#WordForTodayDevotional

IT IS ABOUT BEING FAITHFUL

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

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

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

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

REMEMBER: Remember that one sows and another reaps.

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

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

THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (4): VIBRANT SPIRITUAL LIFE

#WordForTodayDevotional

Tuesday, February 27, 2024

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 2:21-22, 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 go 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 Yahweh for intervention in their lives. There are situations you encounter 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 HaMashiach, we are of all men most miserable (see 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 rapturable is that you must be expecting His coming (see 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 month 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 HaMashiach. 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 HaMashiach as it helps me maintain spiritual vibrancy and rapture consciousness in the Name of Yahushua HaMashiach 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 Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (3): SUPERNATURAL ADDITIONS

#WordForTodayDevotional

Monday, February 26, 2024

THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (3): SUPERNATURAL ADDITIONS

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

From our opening verse, the Lord spoke to Bishop David Oyedepo “Seek me and the interest of my kingdom first and all these things that men are dying to get 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 so many things, then after 20 years, halleluyah! 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 Yahweh and the interest of His kingdom which is the salvation of the souls of men, endears you to Yahweh for supernatural additions of those things that men are running around town for. It is foolishness to opt in for suffer-head!

Apostle Peter asked the Lord Yahushua, what would be their lot that have left everything to follow him. Matthew 19:28-29 says, ‘ 28 And Yahushua 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 mind-blowing, let alone an hundredfold. You cannot pursue Yahweh 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 HaMashiach. 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 Yahushua HaMashiach 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 Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (2): POTENTIALS ARE RELEASED

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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh has given you in terms of gifts and potentials, He is not going to take it back (see 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 Yahweh 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 like a fertile soil upon which whatever you sow on it produces maximally.

Look at the disciples of the Lord Yahushua. 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 Yahushua. You see your association with Yahushua 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 Yahweh 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 fulfil destiny. Get going beloved! Fulfil 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 Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

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

THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (1): DIVINE PRESENCE

#WordForTodayDevotional

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 Yahweh, 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 Yahweh around them at all. This is because the power of Yahweh is in the gospel and it is only those that bear it that see that power manifest in real terms. The glory of Yahweh 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh floods your path and do things in your life that you only wished were possible before.

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 Yahweh’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 Yahushua HaMashiach 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 Yahweh!

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

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (7): PERSEVERANCE AND PATIENCE

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians 6:9 (KJV)

There is no other work that require so much patience and perseverance like the kingdom business of soul winning. This is because people are not usually won to HaMashiach in a day. There is the process of planting the seed of the Word of Yahweh, watering the seed and time for it to grow. Then in growth, there are different stages and they require time and efforts. The soul-winner needs to continue doing good because in due season, he/she will reap. To be successful therefore, in soul-winning, patience and perseverance is non-negotiable. The devil does not have power but what he does is to try to weary you into abandoning the course you are pursuing. No wonder, patience is part of the fruit of the recreated human spirit because you need it in your confrontations with Satan and the gates of hell. Satan will throw many things at you to weary you. Daniel 7:25 says, ‘And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.’ If you understand the way the devil operate, you will know that patience is a vital weapon against the wearing out ministry of the devil. The devil is always seeking to wear you out. You must understand that.

When you begin to see certain manifestations of people in the harvest field that irritate you and that seeks to discourage you, understand that it is the wearing out activities of the devil at work. In the face of such, deploy patience to wear out that devil instead of you getting worn out, let the devil give up. There are people you will meet in the harvest field that will be slow to respond to the gospel. They will eventually respond but they would drag and drag. If you are not patient, you would give up and miss that harvest. Knowing that, as the Spirit ministers to you about a soul, even though it doesn’t look like what will come around, stay put and be patient. Another thing is as a soul-winner consider how long it is taking you to respond to the Holy Spirit. There are things the Holy Spirit has told you that you are yet to respond to His demands. If the Holy Spirit has not been patient with you, probably you wouldn’t even be saved let alone being enlisted into the kingdom business. When you think of the patience of the Holy Spirit with you, then you would know that you cannot be less to the souls in the harvest field.

Perseverance prompts one, after teaching one person—whether he succeeds or fails—to seek out another person, then another, then another, ad infinitum. Apostle Paul exhibited this virtue so well. They would stone him in one city, as soon as he recovers, he is off to another city to continue his preaching. Perseverance preserves you from getting discouraged because of the negative outcomes of your endeavours. As you employ these virtues, I see you begin to make news in the harvest field thereby securing for yourself unimaginable breakthroughs.

REMEMBER: You need patience and perseverance to weary the devil out.

CONFESSION: I do not give up. I am the one that wear the devil out in any and every confrontation. The virtue of patience and perseverance are being fully developed in my character to the glory of Yahweh. Halleluyah!!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every agenda of Satan to wear you out is set ablaze now in the name of Yahushua Amen!

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (6): COMPASSION DRIVEN

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (6): COMPASSION DRIVEN

But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Matthew 9:36 (KJV)

Compassion was the energy that drove Yahushua HaMashiach into soul-winning. Compassion is what causes the virtue to flow and brought the people both the Word of Yahweh and healing in the ministry of Yahushua. Compassion is coming to a deep awareness of another’s suffering and out of sympathy and empathy doing something about it. Understanding the eternal position of the unsaved soul is something that will drive any humane soul to doing something to help. Even though you are tired and needed rest, you go in search of a new convert or to share a tract or word with someone because you understand that the person can exit life at any time and then face eternity unprepared. The understanding of the state of the unsaved evokes compassion and compassion drives gospel campaign. To be successful in soul-winning therefore, compassion is very vital. You want to function in the healing anointing, then you must be compassion-driven. Matthew 14:14 says, ‘And Yahushua went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.’ The unction flows in the direction of compassion and the preaching of the gospel is unction-driven. ‘For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance;’ (I Thessalonians 1:5).

Another thing about compassion is that it is a seed and what you sow is what you reap. As you sow compassion into the lives of others, you inevitably begins to reap same in your own life. The truth is what is sown doesn’t just come back in the exact proportion that it was sown but it is always pressed down, shaken together and running over. Somehow whatever anyone does, of the same shall he/she receive of the Lord. Ephesians 6:8 says, ‘Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.‘ So the issue of compassion isn’t just about winning soul but also it’s about the law of seed time and harvest. The truth is that the seeds of compassion we sow in the souls of the unsaved speak for our generations unborn. There is what you are doing today that is an investment into your generations unborn. It speaks in time for you and throughout all eternity. What a life!

What is it that powers compassion? It is the Understanding of the Word that imparts compassion. The Word gives you a mindset. It is a mindset of divine provision for humanity. When that mindset is in place, anything that is not consistent with that provision in the lives of others will evokes a response to see them corrected and helped. The more of the Word you know, the more heart of compassion you develop. As a soul-winner, you must be taking in the Word on daily basis. You must be a Word addict, consistently eating the Word for your spiritual health and development. The Word will develop compassion in you and guarantee that you are successful in Kingdom business. Selah!

REMEMBER: Compassion imparts unction to function in the harvest field.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I am love born and the love of Yahweh is shed abroad in my heart. The compassion of Yahweh is compelling me to reach out to the unsaved in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that the seeds of compassion that you are sowing in the lives of the unsaved begin to speak in your own personal affairs in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (5): A FIGHTING SPIRIT

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (5): A FIGHTING SPIRIT

No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
Mark 3:27 (KJV)

A fighting spirit is a spiritual disposition of not taking a “NO!” for an answer. It is developing a victor’s mentality. It is coming to a point of only having triumphs or nothing. Instead of not winning, let the fight continue – that is a fighting spirit. What we are saying today is that it takes a fighting spirit to be successful in the soul-winning business. This is so because our text associates the unsaved as the captives of Satan, the strong man. To let go his captives, you must put up a fight that will result in binding him. II 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 HaMashiach, who is the image of Yahweh, should shine unto them.’ The god of this world being referred to is Satan. He is responsible and behind every unbeliever’s blindness to the light of the glorious gospel. For you to succeed in letting the unsaved to see the light of the gospel you must take care of the strong man Satan. This is done in intense intercessions.

A fighting spirit is the answer to the attack of discouragement. In the harvest field, you will come across things and behaviours that will try to put you off and discourage you. It is at that point that a fighting spirit comes to your rescue because it would not accept a no. Until victory is achieved, a fighting spirit fights on. It knows no discouragement. Apostle Paul is a very good example of a fighting spirit. They stone him, beat him and in some cases he was left as dead but as soon as strength comes into him, he gets up and off to the next town to preach. He laid necessity upon himself for the gospel. He is either preaching, following-up or praying for souls. Never tiring, never depressed! The work of the gospel is a task that must by all means be executed even if it means to lay down his life, Apostle Paul was willing. At a point he said that he was not just willing to be bound in Jerusalem but to die for the name of the Lord Yahushua (Acts 21:13). That is a fighting spirit, beloved.

How do you come about a fighting spirit? It comes by a baptism of fire of the Holy Spirit. There is a baptism of fire beloved. It is an experience where the Holy Spirit sets your spirit, soul and body on fire of enthusiasm for the gospel. That fire came upon Jeremiah that even when he does not want to speak the word, it begins to burn in his bones that he cannot be at peace until he speaks out the word (Jeremiah 20:9). When that fire lands upon you, it intoxicates your spirit making you restless until you are running with the gospel. That fire imparts on you a fighting spirit. Even in your personal affairs, you are guaranteed to win when the fighting spirit is in operation in your life. No circumstance overwhelms you. You are so dogged until you weary every devil out of your affairs. Beyond excelling in the gospel, a fighting spirit helps you win at every turn of life. Go for it.

REMEMBER: A fighting spirit is the answer to all assaults of the devil in the harvest field and in your personal life.

CONFESSION: I triumph in every place by the power of the Holy Spirit. No situation overwhelms me because greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. Halleluyah!!!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree the release of a fighting spirit in your life today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
