    THE SUPERIORITY OF LOVE

    And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three? but the greatest of these is charity.
    I Corinthians 13:13  (KJV)

    The love of Yahweh is superior to any other spiritual virtue or fruit.  Some fruit of the Spirit will only be needed as long as we are in this earthly tabernacle, but once we check out to our eternal home, they cease to be needed anymore.  Our text says that faith, hope and love will remain.  That means that they’ll last till the end.  However the greatest of them is love.  The Yahweh-kind of love is superior and reigns supreme over faith and hope.  Put another way, faith and hope will be impotent and ineffectual without the love of Yahweh. 

    Faith works by love according to Galatians 5:6 (KJV).  Faith is the force or spiritual virtue that brings the power of Yahweh to bear on earth.  Without faith it is impossible to please Yahweh (see Hebrews 11:6).  Without faith we can never see the hand of Yahweh at work on the earth (see Isaiah 53:1).  So, faith is our connection to the power of Yahweh.  Isn’t that powerful?  Faith should be the highest virtue then.  But capital NO.  Faith as mighty as it is cannot deliver without love.  Faith is completely useless without the Yahweh-kind of love in operation.  You see why your faith has failed to deliver for you is because the activator of faith is absent.  The Yahweh-kind of love is the activator of faith.

    Hope is the confident expectation of future salvation.  Hope is also a prerequisite for faith to work because faith is the substance of things hoped for.  Hope on its own has no power apart from the fact that it gives substance to faith and without that substance faith is barren too.  So these three faith, hope and love remain but as good as faith and hope is, both are utterly useless without love.  Love therefore is supreme and anyone who desires to reign in life and win always must subscribe to the Yahweh-kind of Love.  Living by love, therefore, is not an option for anyone who desires to reign both in time and eternity, rather it is mandatory and compulsory.  Beloved, Yahweh created you to reign over Satan and his agents but the instrument for your superiority over them is the Yahweh-kind of Love.  Determine not to live a second more outside the love of Yahweh.  Have you heard “built to last”?  That is from manufacturing, it was configured to endure the challenges that will come against it and stay for a very long time.  For human, the Yahweh-kind of love is what makes you a built-to-last entity.  No power can cut you short one second before your time.  That is how superior a force divine love is.  No spiritual virtue dares.  Selah! 

    REMEMBER:   The Yahweh-kind of love supersedes all other spiritual virtues.

    PRAYER:    Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today.  Thank You for opening my eyes to see why my faith has not been working.  Help me to live by love.  From today, Your love dominates me and flows to my world in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   Today marks the last day that your faith fails to produce. I decree that as you walk by love, speedy deliveries of expectations shall be your portion in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (12):  HOPES ALL THINGS

    WordForTodayDevotional_19082026

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday, August 19, 2026

    CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (12):  HOPES ALL THINGS

    … its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, …
    I Corinthians 13:7 (AMPC)

    This word we see translated as “hope” is the Greek word “elpizo” which means to expect or confide.  The word is translated in other places as “trust” and “expect.”  It is the confident expectation of something to come.  To “hope all things” means to confidently expect the long-term spiritual growth of our fellow brothers and sisters in HaMashiach; to expect that their lives will turn out right;  to expect that their situation will change for the better; to treat them according to that beautiful future you expect.  To “hope all things” means that we never consider another to be a lost cause.  It means that we never give up on each other, even when we see one another fall and fall hard.

    When we fail to “hope all things” we consider failures of sin to be a final judgment.  It is betrayed in quickness to write the other off.  We have critical notions of others and when they meet our expectations of their weakness, we cross them off our list and push them out of our lives.  When we fail to “hope all things” we separate.  We separate because we feel we have to move on, as if the offender has fallen out of our boat and won’t recover. And what is most awful about losing hope is that it can be so silent.  We usually won’t even bother to confront them in hopes of producing repentance, simply receding from them, quietly, withdrawing from their orbit.  We even convince ourselves that we are actually “covering their sin in love” by staying quiet.

    We must come to that point where we expect the best of them, possessing an optimistic view of how things will turn out, in this life or, more importantly, in eternity.  We must recognize ‘…that all things work together for good to those who love Yahweh, to those who are the called according to His purpose.’  (see Romans 8:28 KJV).  This kind of attitude is tested when troubles arise, but possessing this kind of love means we will continue to confidently expect the best of the person we love.  It also means we will do what we can to help that positive and Godly outcome become a reality.  This can sometimes be a challenge.  Sometimes circumstances develop or decisions are made that make it difficult to maintain an optimistic expectation for someone.  That is where we need to remember that the essence of this love is the commitment to the best interest of the one we love.  It is also important to remember how often we are on the other side, making decisions that make it difficult for someone who loves us to maintain that confidence in us.

    REMEMBER:   The Yahweh-kind of love expects the best future and works to help actualize it for people in the person’s world.

    PRAYER:   Dear Father, thank You for the love shed abroad in my spirit by the Holy Spirit.  I ask for the grace to see the people in my world with Your eyes and to treat them with love even when they are not getting it right in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   There is nothing that brings one divine presence and interventions like walking in love and I declare that as you make walking in love your great quest, everything mocking the glory of God in your life is cursed now in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • LOVE – WHAT IS IT? (2)

    WordForTodayDevotional_03082026

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    LOVE – WHAT IS IT? (2)

    And hope maketh not ashamed? because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
    Romans 5:5 [KJV]

    Secondly, the Yahweh-kind of love is holy.  It is imparted to us by the Holy Spirit.  Yahweh-kind of love is always the expression of His holiness.  This divine love is directed towards producing holiness in us.  Divine Love makes us holy.  Ephesians 1:4 says, “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:”  Beloved, let me shock you.  Yahweh does not accept you just as you are.  Never.  You can only come to Yahweh by HaMashiach.  As you come as you are, you meet the cross, at Calvary and all that you are, are nailed to that cross, your sins forgiven and then you are ushered into the presence of this Holy Yahweh in HaMashiach.  Yahweh cannot and will not accept your sin.  That is why Yahushua came.  To take away your sins and provide us the way to the Father.  Having been born into the presence of this Holy Yahweh, you cannot go on in sin and not be ushered out.  You may fall in sin and repent and be cleansed by the Blood of Yahushua, but living a lifestyle of sin will remove you from His presence.  Romans 6:1-2 asked and answered this pertinent question of all times, “1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?  2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”  Some argue that if Yahweh loves them, why are they suffering.  The suffering we see today is not the failure of the love of Yahweh but the stubbornness and disobedience of man and humanity.  Yahweh in love disciplines us, moving us towards His holiness.  The love of Yahweh is not a guarantee that we will not suffer; it is the assurance that whatever suffering we endure is directed toward making us holy by a God who loves us.  If it was necessary for HaMashiach to suffer in order to demonstrate Yahweh’s love toward us, why would we think our suffering is incompatible with Yahweh’s love toward us?

    Thirdly, Yahweh-kind of love is infinite, limitless and unfathomable.  Ephesians 3:17-19 says, “17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith? that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height?  19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.”  The Yahweh-kind of love is too deep and infinite that even throughout all eternity we cannot fully comprehend it.   Psalms 103:11 (NASB) says, “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.”  This love is deeper, stronger, higher and wider than anything that mind can comprehend.

    Beloved, this love is better experienced than explained.  Get in today!

    REMEMBER:   The Yahweh-kind of love is deeper, wider, stronger, and higher than anything mind can comprehend.

    CONFESSION:    Oh how my spirit, soul and body is enamoured by this Divine Love to ecstasy.  I am completely overwhelmed.  Thank You Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:    Beloved the transformation has already started, don’t wait, dive in.  I see you catch the fire of His love this month in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE TIME IS SHORT

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday, February 6, 2024

    THE TIME IS SHORT

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

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

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

    We are in 2024. Remove seven years from 2033, you would be in 2026 which is two years away from this year. If the dates are anything to go by, then we have between now and maximum five and half years to expect the rapture of the church. Should every living soul around the world not hear that time is running out to make a decision about their eternity? If you are born again, you should preach the gospel with such velocity because time is short. If you are not born again, you should know that time is running out. Unfortunately it is only humanity that does not know but the adversary the devil knows this very well. Within the next five years, we are specially suppose to be rapture conscious. The events unfolding before our eyes all allude to this shortness of time. There is a threat to have every inhabitant of the earth vaccinated by 2030. What is in the vaccines? You have probably heard of quantum dots vaccines being developed by MIT engineers. You have probably also heard of ID2020, the program to leverage immunization as an opportunity to establish digital identity. Beloved, all these are being proposed to be implanted either on the forehead or right hand (see Revelation 13:16-18). When we say the time is short, prophetically, it is even at the door. Preach the Word! Win a soul today! Save somebody from eternal doom! Shalom!

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

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

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Everything that makes you at ease in Zion is cursed today 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!

  • THE WORD CANNOT LIE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday MAY 3, 2023

    THE WORD CANNOT LIE

    That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
    Hebrews 6:18 (KJV)

    The Word cannot lie. It is impossible for the Word to lie. It is something that cannot happen. If the Word says something, it is better heaven and earth expires than for the Word to fail to come to pass. Matthew 5:18 says, ‘For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.’ The surest thing in time and throughout all eternity is Yahweh’s Word. It is one thing that you can take with your two eyes closed and still not miss your way or target. It is that sure and even more. The Word has been tried seven times and proved true both in heaven, on earth and in hell. Psalms 12:6 says, ‘The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.’ We want you to understand how infallible the Word is and that will built trust in the Word that will become your bedrock for unbelievable success with the Lord. The problem is faith. If you can believe the Word, you can become whatever the Word says, no matter how far removed presently from your reality it is. It is impossible for the Word to fail. The Word is the integrity of the LORD YAHWEH. The Word carries in itself the capacity and capability to become whatever it talks about, the only clause is if the person can believe enough to behave in accordance to the demands of the Word. Mark 9:23 says, ‘Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.’

    The Word impossibility only exists in the mind of the person that has failed to believe the Word. If you believe that if Yahweh is to come down on your situation, there will be instant change and intervention for you. The same effect is obtainable if you can believe the written Word enough to take the steps it demands of you. The Word can never prove false or seen to be a lie. Beloved, please know that Yahweh and His Word are one. His Word is Him. There is nothing that is superior to the Word in both heaven and on earth. There is no revelation or understanding that stands against the Word, the Bible that stands. It is only the Word that is immutable. No situation can defile the Word. In Genesis 18:10, the Lord visited Abraham and spoke the unthinkable by all human standard; “And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.” Genesis Chapter 19 came and passed and nothing happened. Genesis chapter 20 came and passed and nothing happened. Some would even have started murmuring and saying what a liar the Lord is. But in Genesis Chapter 21, the Lord visited Sarah as He has spoken, He did unto Sarah as He has said.

    Whatever He has spoken concerning you, no matter how far removed from your reality, is a possibility. The Word cannot lie. Its immutability has been confirmed seven times. This month, the wonders of the Word shall begin to manifest in your life and situation in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    REMEMBER: It is impossible for the Word to lie.

    CONFESSION: I am born of the Word and if I am real and true, then the Word is much more. My life and world is based on the Word with divine certainty of success and accomplishment. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that your faith on the integrity of the Word comes alive now thereby taking delivery of all the possibilities of the Word in your life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • IS FAITH AND HOPE THE SAME?

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday March 8, 2023

    IS FAITH AND HOPE THE SAME?

    Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)

    There is a difference between faith and hope. Hope is confident expectation of a good future or salvation. Hope is in the future. Hope never materializes because once it materializes it is no longer hope. This is very instructive and striking, never miss it. As long as you are in hope, you will never see your hope materialize because if it does, hope ceases to exist. Romans 8:24 (KJV) says, ‘For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?’ For as long as you are in the realm of hope, you will lack manifestations, because there is always tomorrow and tomorrow never comes. But faith is now. Faith is bringing hope into present reality. Thank Yahweh we do have a Blessed Hope. The Blessed Hope of the Church is the soon return of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach, the resurrection of the saved dead, the rapture of the living saints, the hope of heaven, and the hope of seeing our loved ones and friends. Thank Yahweh for that hope. We rejoice in that hope, but that’s all future tense. Jesus is coming again, whether we believe it or not. He is coming because the Word says so. The resurrection, rapture and the return of the Lord is going to take place whether we have faith in it or not.

    Faith is the force that converts your hope into your present hour inheritance. Moffatt’s translation of this verse reads: “Now faith means that we are confident of what we hope for, convinced of what we do not see.” One modern translation of Hebrews 11:1 reads: “Faith is giving substance … to things hoped for.” What Yahweh is simply telling us is that faith is laying hold of the unseen realm of hope and bringing it into the realm of reality. Too many times when it comes to receiving the Holy Spirit or healing or an answer to prayer, many people are just simply hoping they will receive and as long as they abide in hope, frustration abounds.

    But it’s not hoping that gets the job done; it’s believing. The Bible says, “Now faith is . . .” (Heb. 11:1). If it’s not now, it’s not faith. Someone said, “Well, I believe I’ll get the Holy Ghost sometime.” That’s not faith, that’s hope, because hope is always future tense or pointing to the future. But faith is now. Faith says, “I’ll receive right now; I believe I have my petition now when I pray” (see Mark 11:24). We need to realize this when it comes to receiving from Yahweh. Oh, it makes such a difference when you really believe Yahweh instead of just hoping you’ll receive your petition from Him – whether it’s receiving the Holy Ghost, healing, or any answer to prayer. At what point is your answer released? At the point of prayer, ‘… when you pray believe, that you receive them and you shall have them.’ (see Mark 11:24). Is it when you have your answer that you receive them? No, it is when you pray that you receive your answer. Whatever you cannot receive when you pray, you cannot have in reality. I hope this sinks into the spirit of someone. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Faith is now. Hope is future.

  • CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (12): HOPES ALL THINGS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday FEBRUARY 15, 2023

    CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (12): HOPES ALL THINGS

    … its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, …
    I Corinthians 13:7 (AMPC)

    This word we see translated as “hope” is the Greek word “elpizo” which means to expect or confide. The word is translated in other places as “trust” and “expect.” It is the confident expectation of something to come. To “hope all things” means to confidently expect the long-term spiritual growth of our fellow brothers and sisters in HaMashiach; to expect that their lives will turn out right; to expect that their situation will change for the better; to treat them according to that beautiful future you expect. To “hope all things” means that we never consider another to be a lost case. It means that we never give up on each other, even when we see one another fall and fall hard.

    When we fail to “hope all things” we consider failures of sin to be a final judgment. It is portrayed in quickness to write the other off. We have critical notions of others and when they meet our expectations of their weakness, we cross them off our list and push them out of our lives. When we fail to “hope all things” we separate. We separate because we feel we have to move on, as if the offender has fallen out of our boat and won’t recover. And what is most awful about losing hope is that it can be so silent. We usually won’t even bother to confront them in hopes of producing repentance, simply receding from them, quietly, withdrawing from their orbit. We even convince ourselves that we are actually “covering their sin in love” by staying quiet.

    We must come to that point where we expect the best of them, possessing an optimistic view of how things will turn out, in this life or, more importantly, in eternity. We must recognize ‘…that all things work together for good to those who love Yahweh, to those who are the called according to His purpose.’ (see Romans 8:28 KJV). This kind of attitude is tested when troubles arise, but possessing this kind of love means we will continue to confidently expect the best of the person we love. It also means we will do what we can to help that positive and Godly outcome become a reality. This can sometimes be a challenge. Sometimes circumstances develop or decisions are made that make it difficult to maintain an optimistic expectation for someone. That is where we need to remember that the essence of this love is the commitment to the best interest of the one we love. It is also important to remember how often we are on the other side, making decisions that make it difficult for someone who loves us to maintain that confidence in us. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The Yahweh-kind of love expects the best future and works to help actualize it for people in the person’s world.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for the love shed abroad in my spirit by the Holy Spirit. I ask for the grace to see the people in my world with your eyes and to treat them with love even when they are not getting it right in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: There is nothing that brings one divine presence and interventions like walking in love and I declare that as you make walking in love your great quest, everything mocking the glory of God in your life is cursed now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.” – Hebrews 4:10 (KJV)

    Oh I pray for you that you would enter His rest today. That you would cease from your own works and begin to function in His rest forever. Enough is enough for existence in the hustle and bustle of life. That era ends in your experience today. You shall enter into rest in all areas of your life. Be blessed beyond measure in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (2): OPPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN OUT

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (2): OPPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN OUT

    Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
    II 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 Yahushua 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 (see 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 was the time 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.

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

    CONFESSION: I know no barrier or opposition. I am more than a conqueror because I am committed to following divine direction and plan for my life. Glory!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Whatever that is breaking your connection to Yahweh is cursed today. I decree that by divine direction, every opposition is destroyed now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
