    DOING RIGHTEOUSNESS

    Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
    I John 3:7 (KJV)

    Do you notice that our opening text says “let no man deceive you?” That is because there was and still is a teaching that once saved is always saved no matter the kind of life you lead. The teaching says that you have the nature of righteousness therefore, you can never be wrong or unrighteous. Our opening text is saying that such teaching is deceptive. If the nature of righteousness you claim to have does not manifest in practical righteousness, then it is fake. The nature of righteousness makes people to do righteousness. It does not engender to sin and iniquity. You cannot be swimming in iniquity while still claiming that you have the nature of righteousness because by their fruits we shall know them (see Matthew 7:16, 20). If it is grape fruit that you are producing, you cannot claim that you have the nature of orange. Never! What shows us who you are is the fruit that you are bearing. At least that is what the Lord Yahushua taught us. So, there is a doing of righteousness. You are standing right with Yahweh by redemption and that not of anything that you could ever do. It is a gift of Yahweh because of what the Lord Yahushua did for us at Calvary.

    Then, after you have received this gift of righteousness, it empowers you to stand on the Word of Yahweh rightly. You are empowered by the nature of righteousness to rightly divide the Word of truth and do it (see II Timothy 2:15). Your overwhelming desire now is to please Yahweh with every step of your life. You are obsessed with being on key with the Word of Yahweh. The pleasure of the Lord becomes your sole objective for living. This is doing righteousness. It is conforming your lifestyle to the Word indeed. It is being rigid on following the detects of the Word. Practical righteousness is implementing the Word in your day to day operations. It is doing the will of Yahweh which is His Word.

    Is there anything in it for you if you start doing righteousness as a lifestyle? Absolutely yes! Firstly, until your obedience is complete, you cannot avenge any disobedience of the enemy. II Corinthians 10:6 told us so, “And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” Doing righteousness is the only way to have our obedience to the Word complete. Beloved, the devil is not your problem, sin and unrighteousness is. When the issue of sin is sorted in your walk with Yahweh, then you can see practically how weak and inconsequential the devil is. Secondly, doing righteousness engenders boldness. Proverbs 28:1 says, “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Your confidence intimidates the devil and paralyses him.

    REMEMBER: Doing righteousness is the authentic proof of the nature of righteousness within.

    CONFESSION: My glory is in what HaMashiach did for me at Calvary and the result is the unfolding of practical righteousness in my everyday life. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see you walk in wholeness as you begin to engage practical righteousness in your everyday life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • RIGHTEOUSNESS NATURE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday August 19, 2023

    RIGHTEOUSNESS NATURE

    Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away? behold, all things are become new.
    I Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

    The problem of sin is not just an act but a nature. Sin is a nature in the unsaved. That is why just a decision to stop doing something cannot suffice because sin is who you are if you are not born again. In the same vein, for the believer, there is a new nature called the nature of righteousness which you received at salvation. You are not a refurbished person at salvation, you are a new creation. This literally means that you are now a new specie of being that has not existed before. That is the mystery of righteousness. While you are seeing yourself as someone that just believed in Yahushua as Lord, the real fact is that you are a new creation that does not have a past. That is because your past was crucified with HaMashiach on Calvary. So, quit feeling the pain of what you did in the past, the record no longer exist at that point you believed and confessed with your mouth the Lordship of HaMashiach, your past was wiped out. You are now a new creation, a new specie of being that has no past. That is not all. You now have a new nature and that is the nature of Yahweh, the nature of righteousness. This new nature is what makes it possible for you to be able to stand before Yahweh sinless and able to accommodate divine presence. This nature of righteousness is why you can live a holy life. Without being righteous, you cannot live righteous. Your being determines your doing. Why does a lion roar? Because he is a lion and it is in his nature to roar. Why does a sinner commit sin? Because he is a sinner and sin is his nature.

    The challenge with many people is that they never renewed their mind to align with this nature of righteousness in their spirit. You became a new creation spiritually, in your spirit-man. That did not affect your mind. It is you that will have to do something to your mind by renewing it with the Word of Yahweh. It is your responsibility to control your body by the Word. You have the nature of righteousness in your spirit but for you to live it out, you must renew your mind with the Word and discipline your body to conform to the Word. Romans 12:1-2 says, “1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

    This is the missing link in the lives of so many children of Yahweh. They are new creation, all right but they are not renewing their minds and surely not presenting their bodies a living sacrifice, so there is no expression to the nature of righteousness on their inside. Wake up!

    REMEMBER: New birth brings you into the nature of righteousness.

    CONFESSION: I am the righteousness of Yahweh in HaMashiach with the nature of righteousness. My mind is constantly being renewed by the Word and my body disciplined to align with the Word. Glory be Yahweh!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree your liberty from the corrupting influences of this world now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT THIS PARTNERSHIP HOLDS FOR YOU (4): VIBRANT SPIRITUAL LIFE & RAPTURE READINESS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday April 28, 2023

    WHAT THIS PARTNERSHIP HOLDS FOR YOU (4): VIBRANT SPIRITUAL LIFE & RAPTURE READINESS

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

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

    Another thing is preaching the gospel renews the consciousness of the rapture. As the consciousness of the rapture bears heavy on your mind, it makes you live ready. The Word says that if in this world only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable (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 raptured 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 Yahushua 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 as it helps me maintain spiritual vibrancy and rapture consciousness in the wonderful 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!

  • WHAT THIS PARTNERSHIP HOLDS FOR YOU (3): SUPERNATURAL ADDITIONS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday April 27, 2023

    WHAT THIS PARTNERSHIP HOLDS FOR YOU (3): SUPERNATURAL ADDITIONS

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

    From our opening verse, the Lord spoke to Bishop David Oyedepo “Seek me and the interest of my kingdom first and all these things that men are running after shall be added to you”. “I want to build a house of my own”. “I want to buy a new car.” “I want to marry this year.” All these things that people are running after are additions to the person that goes about bearing the gospel. The author hates suffering and smiling. He strives to find out the way to get something without struggling and takes that path. You can suffer your head out just to build yourself a house. You save, you deny yourself of some many things, then after 20 years, 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 the 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 Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.’ That goes to say that in this life, you have a guarantee of an hundredfold returns for following the interest of the Kingdom. Beloved, thirtyfold is even mindblowing, let alone an hundredfold. You cannot pursue 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 the Lord Yahushua. 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 wonderful 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!

  • WHAT THIS PARTNERSHIP HOLDS FOR YOU (2): POTENTIALS COME ALIVE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday April 26, 2023

    WHAT THIS PARTNERSHIP HOLDS FOR YOU (2): POTENTIALS COME ALIVE

    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 a like a fertile soil upon which whatever you sow on it produces maximally.

    Look at the disciples of the Lord Yahushua (Jesus). Acts 4:13 says that the Pharisees and the Sadducees marvelled at them. They were perplexed to see that these seemingly ignorant men have become men to be wondered at. That is what the gospel does in the life of anyone. It has the ability to turn nonentities to celebrities. It has the power to manifest the marvels of your life to those who think that nothing can come out of you. The greatest answer to your critics is to be committed to the gospel because therein lies the power to make you a wonder in the midst of men. They marvelled at the disciples and took notice and knowledge that they had been with 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 fulfill destiny. Get going beloved! Fulfill your ministry, preach the Word. Tell the good news till nobody in your sphere of contacts is going to hell. Then, suddenly, the world would begin to mind you as a result of potentials that are beginning to show forth all around you. Selah!

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

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

  • FAITHLESSNESS IS VERY TRAGEDIC

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday March 27, 2023

    FAITHLESSNESS IS VERY TRAGEDIC

    He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved? but he that believeth not shall be damned.
    Mark 16:16 (KJV)

    Faith is not just a treasure but not possessing faith is a tragedy. It is very dangerous to be faithless. It is deadly to exist without faith. It is calamitous to function in life outside of faith in Yahweh. One of the motivations of pursuing faith is not just for the victories that it holds for you but also for the dangers that existing without it holds for you. Firstly, without faith, your eternity is in the lake of fire (see Revelation 21:8), then, you exist without eternal life on earth (see John 3:36), then a life full of natural limitations and frustrations (see Matthew 8:26), then a life barren of the help of Yahweh (see 2 Chronicles 25:8), also a life at the mercy of Satan and his agents (see Luke 13:16), etc. The list is almost inexhaustible but for space, we shall be explaining the above-mentioned.

    What are the tragedies of faithlessness?

    1. Eternity in the lake of fire. In Revelation 21:8 the word says, ‘But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.’ Why is that so? Our opening text already gave us the clue. Without faith in Yahushua HaMashiach, you cannot receive salvation, without which you are damned to the lake of fire. You see that faithlessness was the second thing Revelation 21:8 mentioned. It is very critical. Escape for your life today. Surrender your heart to the Lord Yahushua now.
    2. Existence without Eternal Life. John 3:36 says, ‘He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.’ Eternal life is the very life of God that was given to us as a result of the resurrection of HaMashiach. This life is the presence of the greater one in us (see 1 John 4:4). It is eternal life in our spirit that quickened us back to life from spiritual death. If we ever overcame the evil one, it is because this eternal life is at work in us. Without faith in Yahushua HaMashiach, He cannot impart eternal life to you.
    3. A life full of natural limitations and frustrations. Without faith, what limits other natural people will limit you. Faithlessness sponsors existence in frustrations. In Matthew 8:26), we saw the disciples of the Master Yahushua confronted by a great tempest in the sea insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves (see Matthew 8:23-24). That is life for you. In life you face oppositions, limitations and confrontations. But faith is the force that delivers a testimony in the midst of these challenges. So without faith, you are left solely on human effort and strength. And by strength shall no man prevail (see I Samuel 2:9).
    4. A life barren of the help of Yahweh. The help of Yahweh is what guarantees heights in life. The help of Yahweh is the secret of health and continuity. In 2 Chronicles 25:8 we saw that Yahweh has power to help. In 2 Chronicles 26:7,15, we saw that the help of Yahweh is behind greatness in life. The help of Yahweh determines if you will win or lose in the race of life. In Acts 26:22, we saw that continuity is a function of the help of Yahweh. However, you cannot access Yahweh without faith and if you cannot access Yahweh, you cannot access His help.
    5. A life at the mercy of Satan and his agents. Without faith, man is without Elohim and without Elohim, man is at the mercy of Satan and his agents. In Luke 13:16, we saw Satan binding a woman for eighteen years, until faith was activated in the woman to be healed from that satanic bondage. Faith connects you to the power of Yahweh which terminates the operation of Satan and his kingdom. Existing in faithlessness is very dangerous and exposes you to the realm of uncontrolled wickedness of the devil.

    REMEMBER: The worst tragedy of faithlessness is eternity in the lake of fire.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I receive grace to exist in faith all my day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Everything killing faith in your life comes under divine judgment now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (4): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday March 14, 2023

    HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (4): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

    For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

    II Corinthians 5:21 (KJV)

    This area of righteousness is one of the major arsenals of the devil against the faith of most believers in HaMashiach because they lack the understanding of our righteousness in HaMashiach. Firstly, at new birth, you were born righteous because you took after your father. It is same DNA in your father Yahweh that runs in you. Yahweh is righteous and that nature of righteousness is what you were born with (see 1 Peter 1:23; John 1:13). At new birth, you are not trying to be righteous, you were born that way. The challenge for most people is that this nature of righteousness is only in your spirit because man is a spirit which has a soul and lives in a body. Your soul/mind was not born again. Your body was not born again. So without educating your mind with the word of Yahweh and disciplining your body, you can never manifest this righteousness practically (see Romans 12:1-2; I Corinthians 9:27). In Yahushua HaMashiach you are perfect, righteous and holy. You are complete in Him (see Colossians 2:10). You must educate your mind and discipline your body to conform to this new nature in your spirit. Sometimes, you may fall short but as soon as that happens, confess your sin and fall back in line with that your nature of righteousness.

    ROMANS 5:17 says, ‘For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.’ Of course believers are to live right. But, actually, “righteousness” means rightness or right standing. And righteousness is a gift. If you can’t see that, read Romans 5:17 again and let it sink in. Righteousness as a gift is something that is received now. Righteousness as a stage of spiritual development is a fruit of the born again recreated human spirit and it takes time to grow. Other scriptures in the Bible do talk about “the fruits of our righteousness,” but they are referring to the fruit that is a product of our right standing with Yahweh (see Philippians 1:11; 2 Cor. 9:10). Righteousness as a fruit of the born again human spirit is a result of our being vitally connected to the Vine (see John 15:1-8). But if the word “righteousness” referred to in Romans 5:17 was a fruit of the spirit, it would have said, “… and of the FRUIT of righteousness” (see Romans 5:17). In other words, you would have to grow or develop to that place of righteousness. But it doesn’t say that. It says that we receive “the gift of righteousness” (Rom. 5:17). Every one of Yahweh’s dear children has the same righteousness and the same standing with Yahweh because we are in HaMashiach and He is our righteousness.

    When you know this, your faith will abound, and your prayers will work. So many people struggle so long in the realm of self-condemnation and, in the process, let the enemy rob them.

    REMEMBER: The knowledge of your righteousness is your backbone and boldness against Satan.

    CONFESSION: I am the righteousness of Yahweh in Yahushua HaMashiach. I was born righteous. It is my nature. I do not sin. Yahushua HaMashiach is my righteousness and that fuels the fruit of righteousness in my life today and forever. Halleluyah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: The revelation of your righteous standing with Yahweh overwhelms your spirit-man today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (1): DELIVERANCE FROM SIN

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday FEBRUARY 21, 2023

    THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (1): DELIVERANCE FROM SIN

    “Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.”
    Romans 6:18 (KJV)

    The greatest challenge of man is not Satan. It is sin. Disobedience to the Word of Yahweh is what brings a person under the dominion of Satan and the gates of hell. Lack of money is not your greatest challenge beloved! Satan doesn’t care if you own all the money in all the Central Banks of the World as long as you are living a lifestyle of sin. Firstly, Sin is your shortener. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” You’ll be looking at glory but you can’t access it. Don’t play with sin, it is not your mate. Secondly, Sin withholds the showers from a life. Jeremiah 3:3 alludes to that, “Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.” So, sin is behind fruitlessness. Sin is behind wilderness experience most times. If the showers are withheld, everything begins to wither. Thirdly, Sin places one under the dominion of Satan and his cohorts. 2 Timothy 2:26 says, “And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” Sin is the snare or trap of the devil. Living in sin as a lifestyle is being caught by the snare of the devil. You know what that means? Everything about you will be caged. You may have very great potentials but there will be no expression. Not because the devil is powerful but because of sin. Sin has ensnared you.

    Beloved, the good news is that sin has been handled already by the power of His love. Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Yahweh’s love moved on your behalf even before you were born because He knew you before you were born. He already made the provision of triumph over sin. So, now that you are here, you can access the power over sin as you surrender to the Lordship of Yahushua in your life. John 1:12 says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” There is power that help the sons of men to become sons of Yahweh and it comes by a total surrender to Yahushua. This is a genuine heart repentance and confession of His Lordship over your life and destiny. All of these are available because of the Father’s love. That is the power of love in action.

    When you are genuinely delivered from sin. You are free indeed. John 8:36 says, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” To be free indeed means that all that came upon you as a result of the bondage of sin is totally annihilated from your life. Today, I rebuke every hold of Satan upon your life and affairs, Satan get lost in this life now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    REMEMBER: It is the love of Yahweh that provided us deliverance from sin and its consequences.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. Thank you for delivering me from sin, sinful habits and uncleanness. Satan, you have nothing any more against me in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree your complete deliverance from every sinful habit and weights hindering you from taking hold of what the Love of the Father has already settled in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (9): DOES NOT REJOICE AT INJUSTICE OR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday FEBRUARY 12, 2023

    CHARACTERISTICS OF YAHWEH’S KIND OF LOVE (9): DOES NOT REJOICE AT INJUSTICE OR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS

    It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
    I Corinthians 13:6 (AMP)

    How our lives and relationships will be transformed if we can just start manifesting the Yahweh-kind of love. This love does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness. What does it mean to not rejoice in iniquity? The word “rejoiceth” in the phrase “rejoiceth not in iniquity” according to KJV is translated from the Greek word chairō, which means to rejoice, to be glad, to be delighted or pleased. Think about when you are delighted in something. You may dwell on it or talk about it—maybe you even make a big deal about it or magnify it. You rejoice in it, and it makes you glad. When we manifest the love of Yahweh, we absolutely don’t rejoice in unrighteousness. We assuredly don’t take pleasure in wrongdoing. And we most certainly don’t gloat over other men’s sins nor show gladness when others do wrong or fail.

    You probably have seen or heard something happened to someone and you responded “Yes, he/she deserves it” maybe because of the way they have treated you in the past. That kind of response is not the Yahweh-kind of love’s way. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. When someone is unjustly treated and you are happy because the person has also treated you unjustly, you are not manifesting the Yahweh-kind of love. When someone is unjustly treated, no matter what the person has done, stand against the injustice because the Yahweh-kind of love does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness. No matter how “deserving” it may seem for someone to “get what’s coming to them”, that’s not what love would do. Love does not avenge itself. Love is not secretly glad someone was injured or hurt or paid back for their wrongs.

    The Yahweh-kind of love does not rejoice when someone falls into sin. It does not condone unrighteousness. There is no triumph in knowing we were right about another’s failings; a heart of love is sorrowful, prayerful, and broken over the fall or faults of another. Love does not live at peace with unrighteousness. Love cares too much for other people to “wink at sin” or to look the other way when iniquity enters the camp. Love cares enough to confront sin, even to “expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11). We must be bold to stand up against unrighteousness, iniquity, and injustice. To not just believe that unrighteousness is wrong, but to live a life that demonstrates what truth is, to show the world another way of living, and to campaign against wickedness by our own good deeds. Love takes a stand! Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The Yahweh-kind of love does not rejoice in injustice and sin but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I ask for the grace to manifest your love that is shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost. I do not rejoice in injustice and unrighteousness in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: The grace to function with a heart of love that does not rejoice in injustice receive it now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (8): ESTABLISHMENT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday January 13, 2023

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (8): ESTABLISHMENT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

    … and thy righteousness shall go before thee; …
    Isaiah 58:8 (KJV)

    Amplified puts it this way: your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity]. Fasting establishes you in righteousness because you cannot approach Yahweh in sin. And righteousness is not just who we are but what we do. I John 3:7 says, ‘Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.’ Fasting helps you establish the culture of doing righteousness. When one does not live a life of consecrational fasting, his/her life will be filled with uncleanness and filth of all manner. Though he/she may have genuinely at one time confessed the lordship of HaMashiach over his/her life but because he/she has refused to work out his/her salvation with fear and trembling (see Philippians 2:12), he/she cannot exercise dominion over sin and unrighteousness. Yahushua saw this when He said in Matthew 6:16 “Moreover when ye fast”. Fasting offers you establishment in righteousness.

    When you are established in righteousness, it provokes a lot of chain reactions in your life. Isaiah 54:14 says, ‘In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.’ Being established in righteousness removes you far from oppression. Whether it is oppression by Satan and the gates of hell or by wicked and unreasonable men, you are removed far from oppression. Being established in righteousness disables fear in your spirit. You begin to live as though the devil doesn’t exist any more. The strength of the devil is a lifestyle of sin and unrighteousness. Fear brings bondage. Fear magnets death (see Hebrews 2:15). But as you are established in righteousness you are far removed from terror. Terror is barred from your life. Instead, you become the terroriser.

    Being established in righteousness brings you to the peace that surpasses all understanding. Your life is established in the rest of Yahweh. Then you enjoy supernatural prosperity. The power to make wealth is released upon you. All these are what a life of righteousness affords you and it takes a life of consistent consecrational fasting to come to that point where you are established in righteousness. That is why it is almost impossible to make a mark in the sands of time without a lifestyle of consistent consecrational fasting adventure. As you observe this kind of fasting lifestyle, your flesh is constantly mortified empowering your spirit-man to be in full control. You shall not fail!

    REMEMBER: Fasting establishes you in righteousness.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask for the grace to be on key with the revelations You are giving me on fasting in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: You shall not be a hearer only but a doer of the work in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
