    HOW TO RECOGNIZE THIS WISDOM (4): FULL OF MERCY

    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy …
    James 3:17 (KJV)

    Mercy is defined as that aspect of Yahweh’s character in which He does not give people what they deserve. Mercy is a disposition to be kind and forgiving. It is the feeling that motivates compassion. It is the force that alleviates distress and shows great kindness towards the distressed. When you are full of mercy, you pity those who are afflicted and those who afflict and offend you. When you are full of mercy, your default response to those who hurt you is pity not vengeance. This means that vengeful, get-even spirit is not divine Wisdom but earthly, sensual and devilish wisdom. When you are full of mercy, you are patient with people’s quirks. There are just people that behave odd and oppose everything. When you are full of mercy, you exercise a lot of patience with people’s quirks. What person in your life has irritating quirks? How can you practice patience with that person this today and this week? Colossians 3:12 admonishes to ‘Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;’ The bowel is the inner most being of a person which is often considered by Hebrews as the seat of the tenderer affections, especially kindness, benevolence, and compassion. This is telling us that our mercy should flow from our innermost being and not a fake camouflage. That when you see someone in trouble, something should well up from your depth to show mercy to the person.

    Full of mercy means helping anyone around you who is hurting. Our world is full of people that are broken, battered and hurting. You don’t go about gossiping and killing them the more, instead you show them mercy by extending a helping hand. When you see someone drowning, do you help rescue or contribute to the person’s sinking? See who around you is obviously hurting—and then look for a way you can help this week. If you can’t find anybody, then you’re not paying attention. Look closer! Who in your life needs a second chance? How can you show that person mercy and compassion today and this week? Full of mercy means giving people a second chance. Yes they have blown it before, mercy says, try again. Quit reminding them of how they failed before, let mercy erase their past while giving them a clean slate to win. Full of mercy means doing good to those who are hurting. Whether it is sickness, or marital distress, or career challenges, full of mercy, lains over to do good and offer help. Maybe you’re suffering from an old wound that you have not been able to let go of. Choose to forgive and then turn it around for good. Who is that person in your life? Will you make a phone call or a visit this week?

    Full of mercy means being kind to those who offend you. Friend hear this, offence is a must (see Matthew 18:7). If you are going to achieve any worthwhile goal in your life, you are going to be offended in people and people are going to offend you, and some deliberately. Make up your mind for advance forgiveness for anyone that finally offends you. Look with pity on every offender. Moreover, we offend our Abba Yahweh everyday, so we have no choice but to be kind just as we have been shown kindness by the Father. How can you be intentional in showing kindness to those who offended you today and this week? Full of mercy means building bridges of love to the unpopular. What person first comes to mind when you think of an outcast? Who spends their lunch breaks eating alone or doesn’t seem to have friends at soccer games? What specific thing will you do this week to bridge the gap between you and that person with love? Go ahead and show mercy today and always, that is Divine Wisdom in operation.

    REMEMBER: The Wisdom from above is full of mercy.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I ask for grace to be full of mercy in my relationship with the people of this world in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you function in mercy, you shall obtain mercy from the Lord in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO GET WISDOM (3): THE FEAR OF THE LORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday October 5, 2023

    HOW TO GET WISDOM (3): THE FEAR OF THE LORD

    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
    Proverbs 9:10 (KJV)

    The fear of the Lord is the foundation for everything that is coming down from heaven. Every other gift from the Lord apart from Salvation is a function of the fear of the Lord. Salvation brings you to the fear of the Lord. Even though at Salvation, you are holy, made a holy priesthood, however, the matter of the fear of the Lord is a choice every believer must make. Proverbs 1:29 says, ‘For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:’ Until you make the choice for the fear of the Lord in your life, you don’t have a chance with this Wisdom that turns the mountains by the roots. We saw a valid example in Daniel. The Wisdom that Yahweh gave Daniel was on the altar of the fear of the Lord when Daniel made a solid choice out of the fear of the Lord not to defile himself. Daniel 1:8 says, “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” What was the result of the fear of the Lord in the life of Daniel? “As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” (Daniel 1:17). The fear of the Lord is the foundation for Wisdom. You want to flow in this Wisdom from above? Then you must make the choice for the Fear of the Lord today.

    Another solid example of the fear of the Lord that brought about divine Wisdom was the man Joseph. Genesis 42:18 says, ‘And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:’ What was the result of the fear of the Lord in the life of Joseph? Genesis 41:39 says, ‘And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:’ The fear of the Lord our opening texts says, is the beginning of Wisdom. If Wisdom never began in your life, what is your hope of ever functioning in Wisdom? Divine Wisdom starts in and with the Fear of the Lord.

    The Fear of the Lord is reverence for Yahweh. It is deep seated love and awe of the Lord upon your spirit, soul and body. The Fear of the Lord is coming to the point of living your life because of the Lord. It is coming to the point of living for the whole purpose of pleasing the Lord. The Fear of the Lord is living for the pleasure of the Lord in words and deeds. The Fear of the Lord is commitment to doing the Word no matter what. The Fear of the Lord is not a gift of the Spirit. So, beloved, you are not disadvantaged at all. The fear of the Lord is a choice. Also the fear of the Lord is taught by the Word. Psalms 34:11 says, “Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.” The Lord Yahushua says in Matthew 11:29 that we should come and learn of Him. The teachings of the Word is what imparts the fear of the Lord which activates the Wisdom of Yahweh in your life. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Divine Wisdom.

    CONFESSION: Lord Yahushua, pleasing You is my greatest ambition. I am committed to doing Your Word no matter what it costs me. I function in Wisdom in all my ways! Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree your deliverance now from any area where iniquity is holding you to ransom in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • DIVIDENDS OF PRAISE (4): YAHWEH’S MANIFEST PRESENCE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday June 12, 2023

    DIVIDENDS OF PRAISE (4): YAHWEH’S MANIFEST PRESENCE

    It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord;
    II Chronicles 5:13 (KJV)

    Praise is the vehicle that conveys anyone into Yahweh’s presence. Yahweh inhabits the praise of His people (see Psalms 22:3). Whenever anyone wants to experience God’s presence, all that is required is to enter with thanksgiving and go on with singing praises to the Lord from the heart, then His presence is provoked. When Yahweh arrives what happens?

    1. Everything holding you quakes out. There is earthquake when Yahweh arrives at the scene. Paul and Silas were thrown into the prison for preaching the gospel but at midnight, they praised Yahweh. As Yahweh visited the prison to inhabit their praise, there was great earthquake so that the foundation of the prison was shaken (see Acts 16:25-26). Praise builds a house for the presence of the Lord and when He arrives, whatever is harassing your life must be shaken out by fire. That is the wonder of praise. It has the capacity to bring Yahweh on the scene who in turn sets you free from every harassment of the enemy.

    2. Supernatural opening of doors. At the presence of Yahweh, doors open on their own accord. Did you notice that at the presence of the Lord in Acts 16:26 all the doors were opened. Is there any door you have been knocking on since and it looks like there is no response? It looks like the more the knock on this door, the more it tightens up against you. Now, draw back and look at that stubborn door and give Yahweh praise for supernatural intervention. As you praise Him with all your heart, His presence compels the opening of every impossible door supernaturally.

    3. Bondage is terminated. At the instance of the presence of the Lord, bondages are terminated on their own accord. Acts 16:26 says ‘And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.’ Everyone’s bands were loosed. You don’t negotiate what Divine Presence guarantees for you. Your freedom is at the instance of the presence of the Lord. In your health, family, finances or in the life of your children or loved ones, you can force every bondage to be terminated by praise. Just bring Yahweh to the scene. I decree that every form of bondage on your life is terminated now as you read this in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    4. There is Conviction for the Unsaved. At the presence of the Lord, people cry, ‘sir, what must I do to be saved?’ (see Acts 16:30). This was the same man that bound Paul and Silas and threw them into the Inner Prison. Hardheartedness is melted at the presence of Yahweh. All that is required is for the presence of Yahweh to come down, people will start crying for their sins and asking for the Lord Yahushua to come into their lives. If you have a family member or friend that is not saved, write his/her name and dance before the Lord for their salvation and if you can do it with the whole of your heart, the next thing you will receive will be the news of their salvation.

    The manifest presence of Yahweh is your greatest assets in life. You are indomitable, unconquerable and unassailable in the presence of Yahweh. The price to get His presence is praise. Go for it. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The manifest presence of Yahweh is experienced at the instance of praise.

    CONFESSION: I cannot be bound because I am a mobile carrier of Yahweh’s presence. I am unassailable, unconquerable, unmolestible, and unharmable because the presence of Yahweh is my present hour reality. I am a praiser and always has a song unto the Lord. Glory to His Holy Name!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: You shall begin to see the palpable presence of Yahweh from today as you praise in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (2): BRINGS MERCY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday FEBRUARY 22, 2023

    THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (2): BRINGS MERCY

    “Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”
    Jude 1:21 (KJV)

    Beloved, after this month in this #WordForTodayDevotional, you will never have any reason to hold down your head any more in life. The love of the Father has procured His mercy upon you. By that love, you have become the object of His mercy. This is mind-blowing to say the least. Romans 9:22-23 says, “23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?” The Father’s love has made us the vessels of mercy. That means that there is nothing that runs in your generation that should be part of your life. There is no wrath of the enemy or even the curse of Yahweh (if any) on your lineage that should be part of your experience today. This is because you are now the vessel of His mercy. His love has brought us His mercy.

    Mercy is you not getting what you deserve as the result of deeds or even the deeds of your forefathers in your lineage. From scriptures we saw that what a person does can affect generations later. Exodus 20:4-6 says, “4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” The consequences of sin can be trans-generational. So many people today are suffering as a result of what someone in their lineage did, their father or forefather. The people that crucified Yahushua implicated their generations and you can’t imagine what happened afterwards. Jerusalem was destroyed and generation that didn’t commit that crime received the judgment. Matthew 27:24-25 showed us this, “24 ¶When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. 25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.”

    However, Yahweh’s love speaks His mercy over those that believe in Yahushua. That is what our opening text shows us. No matter the curse following your lineage, it is minus you and yours. From you a new lineage of blessing starts because you have subscribed to the Father’s love that makes people the vessels of His mercy. Today, marks the end of the trace of curses in your life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    REMEMBER: The Father’s love makes us the vessels of His mercy.

    CONFESSION: There is now no condemnation to me because I am in Yahushua HaMashiach and walking in the Ruach HaKadosh (Spirit the holy). I am the object of the Father’s mercy. I have escaped the wrath of the Father and the adversary. I am free indeed. Halleluyah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Today marks the end of any trace of curse in your life. I declare the mercy of Yahweh over you now. Be healed, be released, be completely free now. From now goodness and mercy shall be your testimony in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • ACCEPTABLE FAST (6): EXTEND MERCY TO YOUR RELATIONS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday January 30, 2023

    ACCEPTABLE FAST (6): EXTEND MERCY TO YOUR RELATIONS

    Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?Isaiah 58:7 (KJV)

    Fasting exposes one to see the vanity of this world and its possessions. It is easy to drift into a life of selfishness where nobody but you and yourself matters. You find that most times people are good to all but their own relations. They give to outsiders but when they get home, it is a different ball game. No wonder, Elohim is emphasizing that you are not to hide yourself from your own flesh. When you see needs in your family, don’t hide and pretend as though you are not seeing it. I Timothy 5:8 says, ‘But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.’ This is a very serious issue. Don’t turn your back on your own flesh and blood. Show mercy to your relations and ensure that they are not crying out to God for needs that you can meet. Know that Adonai placed you in their lives for you to be His extension to reaching them. That starts with ensuring that they have heard the gospel enough to make a decision whether to accept or reject the offer of salvation that Yahushua brought. So ensure that their spiritual needs are met. This is your first obligation as a believer. Acts 16:31 (NET) says, ‘They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”’ If you are saved, the next obligation for you is to ensure that your household comes to the saving knowledge of the Lord Yahushua.

    Secondly, Adonai placed you into their lives to ensure that their physical needs are met according to your grace and capacity per time. So, please don’t hide yourself from your flesh and blood. This starts with your relations and family and extends to the larger body of Yahushua. You are the answer to the prayers of your people and whenever what is needed is within your means then don’t allow such to still remain a prayer request. Do you now see that Adonai is very mindful of the welfare of humanity. You can see that all that makes fasting acceptable before Him all concern the welfare of humanity. See what Mark 11:25 says, ‘And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.’ That is your fasting will be a waste of time and exercise in futility if you are not in good terms in your relationships. You must live a life of forgiveness. All these are requirements for acceptable fasting.

    It is pertinent to conclude this day with this charge: “17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy? 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate? 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” (I Timothy 6:17-19).

    REMEMBER: Adonai expects you to be His hands to your family and relations.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for your word to me today. I ask for the grace to always be there for my flesh and blood according to the capacity you have given me per time 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!

  • IF IT IS THIS WISDOM THEN (7): IT IS WITHOUT HYPOCRISY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday November 25, 2022

    IF IT IS THIS WISDOM THEN (7): IT IS WITHOUT HYPOCRISY

    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
    James 3:17 (KJV)

    This is the last characteristic of divine Wisdom that Brother James talked about. This Wisdom is without hypocrisy. In Greek, the words for hypocrisy and hypocrite have to do with someone playing a part, as if they were an actor on stage. They’re dissemblers, pretenders who simulate, feign, and pretend to be something they are not (Thayer’s dictionary, entries on G5273 and G5271). The opposite is what we find in wisdom — anupokritos (G505), something that is unfeigned, undisguised, sincere. Somehow, we’re all familiar with the problem of hypocrisy in the Church. For most of us, it’s something we’ve had close experience with. We’ve found ourselves disgusted with others who we identify as hypocrites and we may even have caught ourselves doing hypocritical things. The Bible tells us “wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get wisdom” (Prov. 4:7, KJV). Wisdom is something Yahweh has in abundance and which He is eager to share with those who ask for it (James 1:5). As we grow in wisdom we will become people who are sincere, authentic, and live without hypocrisy.

    Avoiding hypocrisy is not as simple a matter as it may seem, even for mature Christians. For example, Paul speaks of a time when the Apostle Peter and “even Barnabas” were carried away by hypocrisy, along with other Jewish Christians (Gal. 2:11-14). We all need to be vigilant. James 5:12 (WEB) says, “But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear— not by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your “yes” be “yes”, and your “no”, “no”, so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy.” You’ve probably read translations of this verse where the last line reads “lest you fall under judgement,” but the Greek word here is hupokrisis (G5272). I think knowing James is talking about hypocrisy makes his “above all things” statement make more sense. There is a great need for us to live genuine, godly lives without dissembling, lying, double-standards, and pay-acting.

    The word used in James for “without hypocrisy” is used only five other times. In addition to wisdom being without hypocrisy, we’re also to love without hypocrisy (Rom. 12:9; 2 Cor. 6:6; 1 Pet. 1:22) and have faith without hypocrisy (1 Tim. 1:5; 2 Tim. 1:5). Sincere, unfeigned faith and love are core parts of a Christian life. As one of Yahweh’s most important character traits, love is foundational to having Godly wisdom. Faith and wisdom are also linked (Matt. 24:45; 2 Tim. 3:15). I Peter 2:1-3 says, “1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” We have all tasted the Lord’s grace and love if we’re in a relationship with Him. As such, we owe Him our whole hearts — not some outward, play-acted version of insincere faith.

    REMEMBER: The Wisdom from above is without hypocrisy.

    CONFESSION: I am a sincere, truthful, and dedicated friend. When I say that I love, I genuinely love. I don’t talk behind people’s backs. I don’t gossip. I don’t betray the friends Adonai has brought into my life. I function by Divine Wisdom. Halleluyah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I release grace upon you now to be true to Yahweh, brethren and yourself and whatever is confronting you today as a challenge turns to testimony for you now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • IF IT IS THIS WISDOM THEN (4): IT IS FULL OF MERCY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday November 22, 2022

    IF IT IS THIS WISDOM THEN (4): IT IS FULL OF MERCY

    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy …
    James 3:17 (KJV)

    Mercy is defined as that aspect of Yahweh’s character in which He does not give people what they deserve. Mercy is a disposition to be kind and forgiving. It is the feeling that motivates compassion. It is the force that alleviates distress and shows great kindness towards the distressed. When you are full of mercy, you pity those who are afflicted and those who afflict and offend you. When you are full of mercy, your default response to those who hurt you is pity not vengeance. This means that vengeful, get-even spirit is not divine Wisdom but earthly, sensual and devilish wisdom. When you are full of mercy, you are patient with people’s quirks. There are just people that behave odd and oppose everything. When you are full of mercy, you exercise a lot of patience with people’s quirks. What person in your life has irritating quirks? How can you practice patience with that person this today and this week? Colossians 3:12 admonishes to ‘Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;’ The bowel is the inner most being of a person which is often considered by Hebrews as the seat of the tenderer affections, especially kindness, benevolence, and compassion. This is telling us that our mercy should flow from our innermost being and not a fake camouflage. That when you see someone in trouble, something should well up from your depth to show mercy to the person.

    Full of mercy means helping anyone around you who is hurting. Our world is full of people that are broken, battered and hurting. You don’t go about gossiping and killing them the more, instead you show them mercy by extending a helping hand. When you see someone drowning, do you help rescue or contribute to the person’s sinking? See who around you is obviously hurting—and then look for a way you can help this week. If you can’t find anybody, then you’re not paying attention. Look closer! Who in your life needs a second chance? How can you show that person mercy and compassion today and this week? Full of mercy means giving people a second chance. Yes they have blown it before, mercy says, try again. Quit reminding them of how they failed before, let mercy erase their past while giving them a clean slate to win. Full of mercy means doing good to those who are hurting. Whether it is sickness, or marital distress, or career challenges, full of mercy, lain over to do good and offer help. Maybe you’re suffering from an old wound that you have not been able to let go of. Choose to forgive and then turn it around for good. Who is that person in your life? Will you make a phone call or a visit this week?

    Full of mercy means being kind to those who offend you. Friend hear this, offence is a must (see Matthew 18:7). If you are going to achieve any worthwhile goal in your life, you are going to be offended in people and people are going to offend you, and some deliberately. Make up your mind for advance forgiveness for anyone that finally offends you. Look with pity on every offender. Moreover, we offend Yahweh everyday, so we have no choice but to be kind just as we have been shown kindness by the Father. How can you be intentional in showing kindness to those who offended you today and this week? Full of mercy means building bridges of love to the unpopular. What person first comes to mind when you think of an outcast? Who spends their lunch breaks eating alone or doesn’t seem to have friends at soccer games? What specific thing will you do this week to bridge the gap between you and that person with love? Go ahead and show mercy today and always, that is Divine Wisdom in operation.

    REMEMBER: The Wisdom from above is full of mercy.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I ask for grace to be full of mercy in my relationship with the people of this world in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you function in mercy, you shall obtain mercy from the Lord in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THANKFUL FOR JUNE 2022

    THANKFUL FOR JUNE 2022

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday June 30, 2022

    THANKFUL FOR JUNE 2022

    Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
    Colossians 2:7 [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 thirtieth. It has been a torrent of the word of Love and we owe the Lord thanks. We have returned today to thank Him for the success of the month of June 2022. In case, you cannot see anything to thank Yahweh for – I know such a person will not be reading this now; let me remind you that not all that saw 1st of June 2022 are alive today to see the 30th June 2022. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed (see Lamentations 3:22). We owe Him thanks today. Also, our attitude of thanksgiving determines, what the next month will be for us. Let us explore more on the benefits of thanksgiving.

    Our text says that we should abound with thanksgiving. The Greek word translated abounding is ‘perisseuo’ meaning to superabound (in quantity or quality), be in excess, be superfluous; also (transitively) to cause to superabound or excel. You see that the English word abounding did not capture the Greek rendering. What the text is saying in essence is that we should superabound with quality and quantity thanksgiving, and allow our thanksgiving to be in excess. This is beyond theology brethren. The Lord wants us to superabound with quality thanksgiving and quantity thanksgiving. We are not just expected to thank Yahweh but to superabound with quantity thanksgiving. Thank Adonai until it is in excess. Let us think a bit. How many hours can you thank Yahweh today that will be in excess and will be of highest quality. You see that thanksgiving is not something to be mindless about.

    One of the benefits of thanksgiving is that it is the major channel of increase in the Word. Whenever, something is in short supply and there is need for increase and abundance then thanksgiving was employed. We saw the Lord Yahushua feeding the multitude with limited resources available but with thanksgiving, it became more than enough. In John 6:11(KJV), ‘And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.’ In case there is an expectation that is yet to materialize in the month of June, it is not late yet, if you can offer quality thanksgiving for the issue today. Don’t murmur, nor grumble, just be full of gratitude to the Father, for that expectation and watch how it turns to your manifestation. Congratulations and see you in July 2022!

    REMEMBER: Thanksgiving should be in quantity and quality.

    THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, we are not worthy of the least of Your mercies. What shall we say for bringing us to the end of this great month, 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 encounter with Your love 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 June releases in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT IS THE LORD SAYING FOR JUNE 2022?

    WordForTodayDevotional01062022

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    WHAT IS THE LORD SAYING FOR JUNE 2022?

    But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
    Romans 5:8 [KJV]

    Welcome to the month of June 2022, the end of the second quarter and also the end of the first half of the year of STILL WATERS, GREEN PASTURES 2022. This year we have been exploring our place of rest, refreshing and freshness of grace, power and everything that makes for life and godliness in our still waters experience where the Lord has brought us as a people. Yah has also brought us to the green pastures: Our place of abundance of resources, supplies, affluence and effectiveness. Psalms 23:2 says, “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.” That is Yahweh has brought us into the Still Waters/Green Pastures and made us to lie down. We are therefore experiencing the Still Waters and Green Pastures now in this life. If this is not yet your experience, don’t despair because you have arrived at the month of love where all things concerning your life and destiny settled by His love shall be your experience practically. That means, salvation has been settled by His love, therefore, sin shall no longer have dominion over you from this moment. Health and vitality has been settled by His love, therefore an end has come to every molestation of sickness and disease in your body. Riches and affluence was settled by His love, that means an end has finally come to the scourge of empty-handedness in your life from now.

    The month of May has been eventful indeed in the Word. We believe the Word on Health, Healing and Deliverance has impacted you with dominion over all forms of harassment of sickness, disease, even Satan and his cohorts. You have been raised in HaMashiach above all rule, power, dominion and name that is named in all realms: heaven, earth and hell. That means that at the name of Yahushua HaMashiach, we are not at the mercy of sickness, disease or human wickedness resulting in human orchestrated pandemics. It doesn’t matter what is going on in your environment or world in terms of plagues, it is minus you and yours. You have been brought to the Still Waters, where you only see freshness of life in His Presence. May this become your present-hour revelation and experience from now and forever in Yahushua’s name Amen! Sickness and disease shall never be once named among you and yours from now. Welcome to existence in the Still Waters Green Pastures in your health and body in Yahushua’s name Amen!

    John 16:27 says, “For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.” I John 3:1 says, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.” Beloved, the Father Himself loves you. It is a personal love that He has on you. Whatever your experience is today, it has not cancelled this fact that the Father Himself loves you. The first display of this love was in sending the Lord Yahushua to pay for the debt of sin that you could never pay. That price paid indeed covered every aspect of whatever you could ever need in time and eternity. You are reading this now and maybe you are sick, jobless, overwhelmed that time is passing and nothing is happening to you marital-wise. Maybe you are looking for the fruit of the womb or suffering acute financial limitation and scarcity, don’t despair, the Father’s love has actually settled you and this month, there shall be a confirmation that the hold of the enemy over your life has just been broken by this Word. You don’t need to continue to labour under that bondage, I challenge you to stretch your faith today and take hold of what His love has provided for you.

    Our prophetic focus for the Month of June 2022 therefore, is “THE FATHER’S LOVE SETTLED IT CAUSING ME TO FUNCTION IN STILL WATERS AND GREEN PASTURES” (Romans 5:8). Beloved, if the Father demonstrates His love for you while you didn’t know Him, be rest assured, that He did not bring you out of bondage to watch Satan and his cohorts mess with your life and destiny. He brought you out to decorate you; to make you a masterpiece of His love and grace and this month of June will establish that in your life. This is a strange month of divine visitation that changes the story of people and your case shall be supernaturally handled this month. The Father’s love is on you and no Satan’s agenda can annul that. He did something about you while you were yet a sinner, now that you are saved and you love the Lord Yahushua, get set to experience the Still Waters, Green Pastures side of life where you exist in rest, refreshing and freshness of grace, power and everything that makes for life and godliness; where you experience abundance of resources, supplies, affluence and effectiveness. Nothing short of that shall continue to be your experience from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen! Let your heart open this month to experience the Father’s love. Let your spirit open this month to the Love of Yahweh that will guarantee a speedy manifestation of your expectations. By all means, this month is your month. It may have been the turn of your neighbour last month, but this month, your turn has finally arrived and your testimonies must be heard in the name of Yahushua Amen! Shalom!
    Happy New Month!

    REMEMBER: The Father’s Love Settled It Causing Me To Function In Still Waters And Green Pastures.

    THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, thank You for the privilege of life, sound mind and body, of seeing a brand new month. Thank You for sending Yahushua HaMashiach to pay the price for my sins and for the privilege of your presence in my life by the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit). Thank You for bringing me into this month of June to settle every issue of my life and destiny by Your love. Thank You for all you did for me in the month of May. Thank You for what You are set to do in me and for me this new month. To You alone be all the glory in the precious name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that this month of June shall not see your end but you shall see its end. The Lord shall settle you in that area of need this month. I decree no evil news shall be heard in your life, family and job/business. This month, the heavens open over you and your family for a turnaround your world cannot deny. This month, every agenda of evil against you is shattered now. You shall only walk in success, increase, favour, supernatural possibilities and triumphs on every side you turn. No man shall be able to stand against you and your progress all the days of this month. Testimonies shall be your daily bread this month and celebration unending shall be in your house. You are coming into a world of all possibilities this month in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen.

  • QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (2): BE MEEK

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday December 18, 2021

    QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (2): BE MEEK

    The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
    Psalms 25:9 (KJV)

    Meekness implies humbleness in spirit or manner. It is being absolutely submissive to the will of Yahweh with an attitude of humility. This virtue is one that turns our Yahweh on. It moves Him to unveil Himself to such a person because there is already a submissive humbleness to the His will. To be led, you must be meek towards Yahweh. He is not a waster of time and resources. If you are not meek, you are not committed to doing only what pleases Yahweh, why will He then continue to waste His time to speak to such an individual? Absence of meekness is one big factor why many today are not accessing divine direction. Yahweh sees them as full of themselves and lets them be. Your willingness to submit to the direction of Yahweh is what will determine if you would ever be led. You know our Yahweh sees the end before the beginning begins (see Isaiah 46:10).

    We saw one man that was so divinely led that he was said to speak with Yahweh mouth to mouth. That is how close he went in his relationship with the Lord. Yahweh testified about him in Exodus 12:7-8, ‘7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. 8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?’ Is there any other level of divine direction that can get better than that? While other people saw the actions of Yahweh, Moses was a custodian of His ways (see Psalms 103:7). How did Moses arrive at this most prized relationship with Jehovah? Numbers 12:3 says, ‘(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)’ So meekness was the backbone of this enviable relationship of Moses with Yahweh. You want to hear Yahweh speak with you mouth to mouth, meekness is the way to go.

    Meekness connotes teachability, apt to learn and unlearn, humble submission. Meekness means you allow Yahweh to be Lord at all times. Adonai is free to change His mind on an earlier instruction and you are still committed to following even if you don’t understand. Meekness implies that all your being is completely submitted in total humbleness to Elohim to do with you at all times as He wishes. You see that meekness is a level of consecration. It takes the fear of Yahweh to be meek. You must come to the point of highest regards there is for Yahweh to be truly meek towards Him. Maybe it is true to say that the Fear of Yahweh is the bedrock of meekness. Do you Fear Yahweh? Are you apt to do your thing without regards to Yahweh’s ways and word? Meekness is a fruit of the recreated human spirit. So, if you are born again, you can grow the fruit of meekness. Go ahead and do that. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Mouth to mouth communication with Yahweh is by meekness.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, Thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask for the grace to grow the fruit of meekness in my spirit as I respond to you always in complete submissive humbleness in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive the grace to function in the fear of the Lord as a lifestyle from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
