  • IT IS WISDOM TO KNOW YOUR PURPOSE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday October 7, 2023

    IT IS WISDOM TO KNOW YOUR PURPOSE

    Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
    Jeremiah 1:5 (AMPC)

    Purpose is the original intention for the creation of a thing. Purpose is the reason for the making of a thing. Purpose is the thought in the mind of the manufacturer that necessitated the making of a thing. Nothing that is created is without a purpose. But the purpose of a thing cannot be known from the thing. You cannot ask a mobile phone for instance, “what is your purpose?” It does not know its purpose. Purpose is only known from the marker or manufacturer of a product. That is the reason, every manufacturer accompanies their product with a manual that describes the purpose, functions and maintenance of its product. If you want to know the purpose, functions and how to maintain the mobile purpose, it behoves on you to consult the manufacturer’s manual. So many people carry mobile phones that are laden with extraordinary functions beyond texting, calling and receiving calls, but are not making use of those functions because they are ignorant that those functions exist in those phones they are using. Man is a product of Yahweh. Genesis 1:27 says, ‘So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.’ Beloved, you are not a biological accident. No matter, how you came, you are a product of pre-ordination of Yahweh. He picked you, out of the millions competing spermatozoa released. You are not an accident.

    Purpose is the key to life. Without purpose, life has no meaning. A lack of purpose and the impending tragedy that results from its absence is found not only in people but in all things. When elements of nature lose their purpose, chaos and destruction are the results. When nations, societies, communities, organizations, friendships, marriages, clubs, churches, countries or tribes lose their sense of purpose and significance, then confusion, frustration, discouragement, disillusionment and corporate suicide—whether gradual or instant— reign. Purpose is the master of motivation and the mother of commitment It is the source of enthusiasm and the womb of perseverance. Purpose gives birth to hope and instils the passion to act. It is the common denominator that gives every creature an element of distinction. This guiding sense of purpose is more than an orientation towards a goal. Rather, it is a deep awareness that a common vision encompasses all life and existence.

    Having arrived, it takes wisdom to go back to the maker and ask, “Lord, why did you create me?” “Why am I here?” The foolish has no such inclination. Wisdom makes you restless until you have aligned with the purpose for your making. Pause today and ask yourself Purpose questions. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Purpose is the reason for your making.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. Father, you are my maker and I come to you today to ask you to show me that very reason that you brought me here for in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you align to purpose, I decree today that systems and individuals holding what belongs to you come under the pressure of the Holy Spirit to release yours into your hands. Your hands shall not be dry again. I curse empty-handedness now and release you into overflow of resources in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • STOP SEEKING WHAT IS NOT MISSING

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday September 29, 2023

    STOP SEEKING WHAT IS NOT MISSING

    Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
    Colossians 1:13 (KJV)

    Whenever you are seeking for what is not missing, frustration will become your second name. Almost all of us have experienced that time when you are looking for something, (it has happened to me with socks). You just cannot find this thing that you saw a while ago. Where did this thing disappear to? You turn over almost everything in the house looking for this one thing that is seemingly missing. But all the while you were looking frantically for it, it was in your hands or pocket but somehow it was just occluded from you. I asked everybody in the house, please did you see so so and so? Then someone just looks at you and calls your attention to your hands or pocket and asked, “is it not the socks that you are looking for that is in your hand or pocket?” To your amazement and utter dumbfoundedness, you truly saw it in your hand or pocket. It may have taken you an hour of frantic searching. But fortunately, what you were searching was not missing but has always been there with you just that you couldn’t see it. That is the same case with so many believers running from pillar to post looking for deliverance. Whether it is deliverance from generational curse, ancestral curse, Satan, or whatever, you have already been delivered. Our opening texts told us so and the Word cannot be broken.

    If you were just delivered, that would have been awesome still but you were more than delivered. You were translated to the kingdom of Yahweh’s dear son Yahushua HaMashiach where those things cannot have access to you again. But even though this is your reality in your spirit, your soul is yet to come to terms with it because you as the believer has been given the responsibility to renew your mind with the Word of Yahweh and conform your body (see Romans 12:1-2). Your mind need to come to that reality and that is why the Lord Yahushua has sent you ministry gifts so that you can come to the knowledge of the measure of the fullness of HaMashiach. So know today that you have been delivered from everything that represent darkness. You were not just delivered but you were translated and seated with Yahushua HaMashiach in the heavenly places, far above principalities and powers.

    The fight we fight as believers is the fight of faith. The fight of faith connotes insisting that what the Word says about you comes through, the prevailing situation notwithstanding. If it looks like one area of your life is still invaded with darkness, don’t despair, that is why there is a fight of faith. Now, confront that darkness with the truth of the Word and command its tenure to expire. The devil will try to know if you know your rights in HaMashiach. What do you do when you notice that the devil is encroaching into your territory, resist him. I Peter 5:9 says ‘Whom resist stedfast in the faith,’ James 4:7 says, ‘Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.’ You see that the devil has no choice but to disappear when you resist him. Go ahead and take dominion.

    REMEMBER: You are already delivered, stand on the Word and enjoy your liberty.

    CONFESSION: I am not that person running around looking for what is not missing. In Yahushua HaMashiach I am complete. I am already delivered from the dominion of darkness and translated into the kingdom of light where only goodness and mercy follow me. Hallelujah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: The thief is caught today. I decree a restoration of whatever he has stolen in your life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (1) BY CASTING OUT THE EVIL SPIRIT RESPONSIBLE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday September 23, 2023

    RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (1) BY CASTING OUT THE EVIL SPIRIT RESPONSIBLE

    And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
    Luke 13:16 (KJV)

    From all we have learnt so far, it is obvious that sickness is from Satan. It does not matter the name the laboratory gave it, it is called the spirit of infirmity and it can manifest with so many names. The Lord Yahushua came into the house of Peter and saw Peter’s wife’s mother sick with what the doctor or laboratory called fever but when the Lord Yahushua touched her the fever left. (see Matthew 8:14-15). That shows you that it was a spirit behind that fever and it was the spirit that left and when it did, the resultant fever was gone too (see Luke 4:38-39). In Mark 9:17-27, we saw a person dumb and deaf but when the Lord Yahushua attended to him, we saw that it was a spirit of dumb and deaf that held him in bondage. In the laboratory, it was discovered that he was dumb and deaf maybe because of physical malfunction of organs but without any medical solution when that evil spirit responsible for that condition was cast out, he was able to speak and hear. Littered in scripture are examples that shows us that whatever your condition that it is the spirit of infirmity behind that operation and manipulation.

    In Luke 13:11, we say a woman that the doctors would have diagnosed as having acute arthritis which has damaged her spinal cord, which made her not to walk well, she was bent over and that conditioned has lasted for eighteen long years. But when the Lord Yahushua saw her, he saw a spirit of infirmity behind that affliction, ‘And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.’ It is the spirit of infirmity that is responsible for that cancer, HIV, leukemie, arthritis, typhoid fever, coronavirus, HBP, stroke, etc. Whatever the name that it has manifested in your body, behind it is the spirit of infirmity. And some of its operation can never be detected in the laboratory but the person is dying. How can you connect a lady that was having severe stomach pains that when the pains come like this, it would seem as if she is dying for the kind of excruciating pain she goes through. They have done all manner of tests, seen all manner of specialists still no solution. One day in the midst of that ordeal, this lady’s mother just tired of the whole thing left her in the hands of Yahweh and started praying for the salvation of souls. In the midst of her prayers, the Holy Spirit instructed her to serve her daughter the holy communion and a shot of the anointing oil, which she did. After receiving it this lady went to sleep, by the time she was up, she was pressed and as she went to the toilet, she excreted a dead rat and that affliction ceased from that day. It was the spirit of infirmity. No laboratory could see that.

    Cast that spirit of infirmity out in the name of Yahushua and you will be free. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: There is an evil unclean spirit at the root of sickness.

    PRAYER: Sweet Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word to me today. I command you spirit of infirmity come out now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: You spirit of infirmity, I command you to come out of this child of Yahweh now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HAS THE THIEF STOLEN YOUR HEALTH?

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday September 17, 2023

    HAS THE THIEF STOLEN YOUR HEALTH?

    The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

    John 10:10 (KJV)

    You must stop explaining away your health condition. If you are sick today, recognize that sickness implies that the thief has stolen your health. Sickness is your health stolen by Satan, the thief. It is not because of cold or the weather. It is the devil, the thief, prowling about taking what does not belong to him. In Igbo language, Satan is ‘ekwensu.’ That is instructive because it means literally “ikwe ya esu” that is “if you agree, it would start raging” That is to say that until you agree with the terms of Satan, he is powerless and all his activities and wickedness cannot start raging in your life. You can say “Satan get lost now, my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, I curse your manoeuvrings and manipulations against my body now, get out in Yahushua’s name Amen” and that halts all his agenda against you. But you could also just be mute like a nepios and the devil will have a field day in tormenting your physical body.

    Are you going to continue to allow Satan to steal your health and that of your family members? There are families today, that are pharmacy store by virtue of the value of drugs that they store at home, with which they nurse sickness and disease. I curse that ignorance gone on rampage in your life and family now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach. You have been redeemed, why are you living like you have not. Yahushua HaMashiach didn’t come to establish a religion. No, a thousand times No! WE are not in a religion, we are in a life and that life gives light to men. Why are you in light and still grooving in darkness in your physical body as a result of sickness? Why would you continue to allow the thief to steal your health inheritance in HaMashiach? That manipulation ends now in your life. Get up, get angry and make that bastard thief to restore all that he has stolen from you. Proverbs 6:30-31 says, ‘ 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.’ When the thief is caught, he must restore.

    In Luke 13:16, the Lord Yahushua says, ‘And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?’ That means that Satan was the culprit that stole this woman’s health for 18 solid years. This devil is very wicked and heartless. Until this particular infirmity ate up all that this woman had in terms of wealth. Whether it is cancer, tumour, arthritis, fever or whatever name it goes by, it is Satan that is behind it. He is caught today and I command that he restores to you whatever he has stolen from your body. In the name of Yahushua HaMashiach be healed now, be restored now! From today, never allow the thief to tamper with your health or that of any member of your family. At any slightest sight of his manoeuvrings, shut him down in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Sickness is Satan stealing your health.

    PRAYER: Satan you have no room in my body or in my family. In the name of Yahushua HaMashiach, get lost in my health, family and in the lives of those associated, connected and related to me now in Yahushua’s Name Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I command a restoration for you and your loved ones now of whatsoever this thief has stolen from you in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday JULY 29, 2023

    BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED

    Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.III John 1:2 (KJV)

    To access the realm of financial fortune and remain in that realm, you must be spiritually minded. The covenant of blessing is not a game of give and take, no! It is a relationship with Yahweh and being spiritually minded is key to maximizing your access and maintenance of the blessing of Yahweh on your life. Why is being spiritually minded important and what does it mean to be spiritually minded? Being spiritually minded is setting your mind on the Holy Spirit and the interest of Yahweh’s Kingdom. It means to walk after the Spirit of Yahweh. It means to live according to the dictates of the Spirit. As we have said over and over in the course of this month’s teachings that Yahweh is not after your pocket. Your pocket is too wretched for Yahweh to be eyeing. Yahweh is after your heart not your cash (see Proverbs 23:26). It takes being spiritually minded:

    1. To strive to know Yahweh more. So many when the Lord put small cash at their disposal leave Church. Someone told a pastor, “I was praying and fasting that hard when it was much rougher, now I don’t see the need for all that” What he was referring to was the fact that his spiritual fire in prayer and fasting was high in the days he was still coming up in life but now he has some substance at his disposal, he does not see the need for that intensity again. That is the kind of person that can never go far with Yahweh. His seeking Yahweh is for things not for Yahweh. Philippians 3:10 was the desperation of a man that has gone very far with Yahweh but still striving for more. Until you are spiritually minded, you will be pursing Yahweh for things and not for Yahweh, not to lay hold on the reality of His presence, principles and power.
    2. To know the seriousness of sinfulness. So many people are playing with sin today. So many unrighteousness has been commonised. Do you know that it was sin and its consequences that made the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach go through the agony of the cross? Do you know the sacrifice Yahweh had to make to atone for the sins of man? You obviously don’t know. If you do, your attitude towards sin would change. I John 3:5-9 spelt the matter verbatim. For space, I would have reproduced it here, but please ensure you read that. You need to be spiritually minded to appreciate the sacrifice and nature of righteousness you have in HaMashiach and not be returning to your vomit like a dog. Even though you are saved, if you don’t finally align with the nature of righteousness you have received, you would end up in hell where the devil and his colleagues are. Sin is not enjoyment. Sin is signing in into a nasty end in the lake of fire. In case you are reading this, and you are still signed in, please delete that account and never be back there again. It is not too late to get it right.
    3. To understand Yahweh’s pleasure and pursue it with excitement. Some of you have been in Church for donkey years but there is no passion for the things that please Yahweh. How far with soul winning? How far with defending the gospel against enemies that want to see it exterminated? How have you used your position and possession to advance the gospel of HaMashiach? Have you not been ashamed to speak up for HaMashiach and the Church where it matters most because you were ashamed to be viewed as a Christian fanatics? See what the Spirit says in Luke 12:47, ‘And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.’ Giving to the gospel will be with excitement if you are spiritually minded.

    Beloved, it is time to stop playing Church and mean business with the Lord. Selah!

    REMEMBER: It takes being spiritually minded to know that it all does not end here on earth.

    PRAYER: Beloved Father, I thank you for your word to me today. I receive grace for daily intimacy with the Holy Spirit who will enlighten my eyes in the word and keep me spiritually minded, so that I will end well in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Begin to walk in the reality of divine presence which will produce the harvest of increase, abundance, advantage of the Holy Spirit, favour and glory from now in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE PLACE OF FAITH IN KINGDOM PROSPERITY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday JULY 22, 2023

    THE PLACE OF FAITH IN KINGDOM PROSPERITY

    But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to Yahweh must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)

    Your blessing is packaged in Yahweh’s Word but can only be delivered by faith. Hebrews 4:2 makes us understand that you can have the word preached unto you but until you mix it with faith in your heart, the word will not produce. Romans 10:17 says, ‘So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of Yahweh.’ Faith for prosperity comes by hearing the Word on prosperity. That is the reason the enemy keeps attacking the teachings on prosperity, because he knows that until you hear it, and hear it, faith will not come. Faith is not, “I agree.” That’s consent. Faith is not mental assent. Faith is that active living force that controls your attitude and your actions as you allow the Word you have encountered to direct and control you. When faith comes, you graduate from hearing to doing. It moves you to do what you heard. It is your actions that tell whether you believe what Yahweh has said or not. Yahweh weighs your actions, to prove your faith. Your action either betrays or authenticates your claim of faith (see 1 Samuel 2:3).

    You have heard, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it” (see Malachi 3:10-11), and all you do is to only thank Yahweh for the message, but don’t pay your tithe, or you give offerings grumbling (from left over balance from Coca Cola)! You certainly don’t know the meaning of what you have heard. You hear the Word that says, “Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.” (see Proverbs 3:9-10) You agree, but do nothing about it. That’s not faith. Show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works! (see James 2:14-26) Your actions betray you. It’s your actions that tell whether you believe what Yahweh has said or not.

    You can’t talk want and enjoy divine supplies, because Mark 11:24 says, “You shall have whatsoever you say.” Paul said in 2 Corinthians 4:13: We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; So what you have believed, you naturally speak. Faith is expressed in words. Not just by the words you speak to other people, but even the ones you speak to yourself. The words you speak either count for you or against you. Everything in life answers to what you say. In the school of faith, your tongue draws the conclusion. But your tongue answers to the contents of your heart, because it’s out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. That’s why Yahweh is stuffing your heart with matters, so that your tongue will never run dry of the truth that refreshes and prospers. One of the laws of the spirit of life is the law of right speaking. And that functions according to the contents of your heart. Every seed sower is a prosperous citizen of the kingdom, if only his mouth allows him to get it. Let faith be in your mouth, then you shall make your way prosperous, and you shall have good success.

    REMEMBER: Believing and behaving the Word is what activates the covenant on your life.

    CONFESSION: I believe the provisions of the Word for my prosperity and I take required actions according to the Word to realise it in my life. Glory to Your Holy Name!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you take steps in obedience to the Word, I decree that every resistance to your prosperity is blasted by fire now in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • OBSTACLES TO ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (6): NEGATIVE PAST

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday June 24, 2023

    OBSTACLES TO ACCEPTABLE PRAISE (6): NEGATIVE PAST

    Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

    Isaiah 43:18 (KJV)

    Negative past talks about events in your past that when you remember them, you are full of hurt, resentment, hate, vengeful, bitter and depressed. The habit of looking back at past failures is an enemy of praise. You can’t live a life of praise until you let go of the negative past. For instance, if you are driving a car forward, and rather than facing your front, you concentrate on looking backward, you know of course that you are heading for a ghastly motor accident. Lay all the troubles of the past to rest! If you have lost anything, He is the reason why you have not lost everything. You can’t praise Him with burdens. Looking at your negative past all the time will make things negative in your life. Let them go! The Bible says anyone who puts his hand on the plough and looks back, is not worthy of the kingdom (see Luke. 9:62). That means he is not fit for the blessings of the kingdom.

    It is impossible to live a life of praise when you are attached to your negative past. If you do not let the past be past, you may pass on with it! Yahweh says, instead: ‘Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.’ (Isaiah 43:19). It means, if you must know the things Yahweh is about to do, let go of the negative past and remove it from your mind and heart. We are definitely in the days of new things. So, would you let go of the past now? Apostle Paul has this to say about the past, ‘Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.’ (Philippians 3:13-14). He means to say, “I forget the past, I press towards the future.” Looking backward makes you a failure in the faith.

    You have gone around that mountain long enough, now go forward! Remember Lot’s wife? As they were leaving Sodom and Gomorrah, she looked backward, and turned to a pillar of salt (see Genesis.19:26), a statue of no value. Let all those troubles of the past rest. The only thing to be remembered in your past should be testimonies. If they are not testimonies, Yahweh commands, “Remember not…” I declare every bitterness planted by the irreparable past dead in your life today, in Yahushua’s name! Every depression caused by the irreparable past is broken right now! There is joy before you today and no man shall take it from you, in Yahushua’s name. Say with me,”I am free from the weight of the negative past!” Shalom!

    REMEMBER: If you don’t allow the past to pass, you will pass with the past.

    PRAYER: Beloved Father, thank You for Your word to me today. I received grace to nail my negative past at the cross. I am a new creation, therefore, the past has no more hold on me now in Yahushua’s Name Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: There is a new thing the Lord is doing in your life from today and it shall be evident for all to see shortly in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • PARTNERING WITH THE LORD INVOLVES (2): PREACHING THE GOSPEL

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday April 11, 2023

    PARTNERING WITH THE LORD INVOLVES (2): PREACHING THE GOSPEL

    And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
    Mark 16:20 (KJV)

    There is nothing sophisticated or special about preaching. Every believer is called to preach. To preach simply means to proclaim, to declare, to publish; to herald. When you talk to your colleague about his eternal destiny, and what the Lord Yahushua has done for him, that is preaching. Preaching is not for special people. It is not for pastors, evangelists, etc. No! A thousand times No! They were a minimum of 120 people that the Lord Yahushua gave the command to go and preach. They were not all apostles or teachers. They were just believers. Some of you go for lunch with your colleagues and all the while you are talking about your football clubs; that is preaching about your football clubs. You could even hear some people arguing about their favourite players from a mile away during lunch break. Beloved, that is exactly what preaching is all about. Instead of talking what does not have eternal value, why not talk about Yahushua HaMashiach. The time is very short. Make the most of every opportunity to help someone make a decision about where he/she would spend eternity.

    You don’t even need to go far. Your barber and stylist; your neighbour; your customer and even acquaintances are all targets. The Lord Yahushua HaMashiach came for every soul. There is no soul that is less important to Yahweh. By all means preach the gospel. You don’t need too many scriptures to preach the gospel. We are called to be witnesses. A witness is someone that has experienced something and is telling about that experience. If you are genuinely born again, you already have an experience to share with someone. “I used to be this and that and I surrendered my heart to the Lord Yahushua and my life took a turn for the great and here I am today; come to Yahushua HaMashiach, He can do same in your life”. That is being a witness. It does not require plenty grammar and quoting of scriptures. You do not have any excuse not to preach the gospel.

    Do you know that your potentials as a Christian only comes out when you are on the mission of the gospel? You carry the power of the Holy Spirit at the baptism of the Holy Spirit but that power only comes out when you are sharing the gospel with others. Then you can say “in the name of Yahushua be healed” and that happens. You can command demons to come out of those they are oppressing and they obey you. What otherwise wouldn’t cross your mind that you can do starts manifesting when you are on the move for the gospel. Another thing is that all that others are running after in life begins to run after you. You cannot be in need when you are genuinely on the go for the kingdom, preaching the gospel, never! All your needs are supernaturally taken care of. Even things you did not ask for begins to come to pass in your life. Commit to preaching the gospel today and see how everything in life aligns to you. A family was always in crisis, no peace. Until they subscribed to the call of the gospel to go preach and as they started preaching as a lifestyle, they were talking one day among themselves, they started wondering when last they had issues and could not remember. Peace like river had replaced; all that by obeying the call to preach. Beloved, all your answers to all your prayers are in obeying the call to preach the gospel. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The Lord Yahushua commanded you to preach, obey!

    PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You for Your word to me today. Burn in my heart today the fire of preaching the gospel and according to Matthew 6:33, I receive all that others are running after added to me in the precious name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: You are a great soul-winner, I decree that the gospel potentials in you come alive now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (3): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF YOUR NEW CREATION STATUS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday March 13, 2023

    HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (3): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF YOUR NEW CREATION STATUS

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

    Our redemption has a legal side which is very crucial for you to understand in order to stand in liberty and command of faith. You need to know that in the mind of Justice, we were recreated in Yahushua HaMashiach. This means that the justice for sin demands death. When HaMashiach died, the new creation died in and with Yahushua HaMashiach. In the death of Yahushua HaMashiach on the cross, the demand of Justice was fully satisfied. Halleluyah! That is not the end of the Story. Yahushua HaMashiach went to hell on our behalf and collected the key that Adam surrendered to Satan back. He was raised up on the third day with Zoe – the Yahweh-kind of life and as many as surrender to Him, He quickens (recreates and gives life) to their spirits.

    You should also know the reality of the new birth vitally for yourself. You should know and understand that the moment you accepted Yahushua HaMashiach as your Saviour and confessed Him as your Lord, you were recreated. That is when the legal act of redemption, which was wrought in Yahushua’ death, burial, and resurrection became a reality in your own life. In the new birth, you have in your spirit the very life and the very nature of Yahweh. The new birth is not just an experience. It is not a religion, and it is not joining a church. It is the actual rebirth of our spirits. We are the very sons and daughters of Almighty Yahweh. He is our very own Father; we are His very own children. We know that we have passed out of Satan’s dominion – spiritual death – into the realm of life through Yahushua HaMashiach. We were born into the family. You cannot join the family; you have to be born into it.

    What will be the effects of this knowledge of the reality of the new birth and the new creation? In the new birth, Yahweh became your very own Father and you are His very own child. You have as much freedom to fellowship with the Father as Yahushua had in His earthly walk because Yahweh loves you even as He loved Yahushua (see John 17:23). Thank Yahweh, we are begotten of Yahweh. We are born of Yahweh. We are children of Yahweh. We are heirs of Yahweh. We are joint or equal heirs with Yahushua HaMashiach (see Romans 8:17). We are not magnifying ourselves when we talk about our inheritance in Yahushua; we are magnifying Yahweh and what He has done for us through the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach. We did not make ourselves new creatures; Yahweh made us new creatures. And Yahushua is the Author and the Finisher of our faith (see Hebrews 12:2). Thank Yahweh, we are new creatures created by Yahweh in Yahushua HaMashiach.

    REMEMBER: You are a new creation which empowers you to dominate Sin, Satan and Sickness.

    CONFESSION: I am a new creation in Yahushua HaMashiach an heir of Yahweh and a joint-heir with HaMashiach. I was begotten of Yahweh and a child of His love. No activity of Satan can prosper in my sphere of influence because as He is, so am I in this world. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that you be drunk with the knowledge of your new creation status from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WISDOM FACILITATES ROBUST GLORIOUS MARITAL LIFE (A)

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday November 27, 2022

    WISDOM FACILITATES ROBUST GLORIOUS MARITAL LIFE (A)

    18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.  19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
    Colossians 3:18-19  (KJV)

    Man is a creation of Adonai. It is also only Him that knows the best way that the man can function and fulfill purpose. That is why, it is wisdom to go to the manufacturer’s manual for man which is the Bible and find out the Wisdom steps to take to maximize his/her life. There are wisdom steps in the Word for every area of the man’s life including his marriage. Marriage is Yahweh’s initiative. He therefore, knows the best way to enjoy it. It is Wisdom to search out the keys the creator of marriage has made available for unlocking the treasures in the institution. It is important to note that the wisdom of Yahweh looks like foolishness with men. However, the foolishness of Yahweh if there is anything like that is wiser than men (see 1 Corinthians 1:25). No matter the school you attended and the resultant certificate that you parade, if you don’t humble yourself and subscribe to the wisdom of Yahweh concerning marriage, you will make a shipwreck of your marriage. The evidence of the foregoing statement is the divorce statistics the world over and looks like the number is more with the well read class. Education is not equal to wisdom. Divine Wisdom is a function of hearing and hearkening to the Word of Adonai. If you are too big to hear and obey the word of Yahweh – the Bible, you are too big for success in marriage. If you are too educated to humble yourself before the Word of Elohim, you are too educated to succeed in marriage. Truth is truth. There is no new generation truth. Truth is timeless and ageless.

    The position of the wife in the family is a spiritually sensitive and strategic one. Contrary to several years of teaching that the success of the family hangs on the head of the home who is the husband of the home, the Word actually teaches that the rise and fall of a home is almost 100% dependent on the wife of the home. In almost all the New Testament references about the family, the first person to be addressed is the wife. In Ephesians, Colossians and Peter that addressed the home, the wife was always the first person to be addressed. Proverbs 14:1 (KJV) says something striking, ‘Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands’ Proverbs 23:4 says that ‘Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:’ Every building is built by the operation of Wisdom. This is very critical. How does the wise woman build her house? Our text explains how: wives submit to your husbands as unto the Lord. This is not human-made postulation. This is Divine Wisdom for a successful marital life. No matter your estate in life, if you submit to this Wisdom, you will enjoy peace like river in your home, even if Satan is your husband. Did you notice it says that you should submit to your own husband as to the Lord? That is in the same measure that you would submit to the Lord Yahushua, is exactly the same measure that you should submit to your own husband. That is grave to me, just thinking about it.

    Did you notice that I said that even if Satan is your husband, that you would have peace at home? That is exactly what 1 Peter 3:1-6 was explaining. The Apostle Peter says that even if your husband does not obey the word meaning is not a Christian, he may be won by your chaste character which he will observe. The wife wields so much influence in her home that she literally holds the rise and fall of the home. May the Lord give every wife wisdom to walk by the Word. Shalom!

    We shall continue with the husband tomorrow…

    REMEMBER: Submitting to your husband in everything is the wisdom for marital bliss.

    CONFESSION: I am a woman/man of wisdom. I walk by the word of the Lord, pleasing him in all my ways. I submit to my husband as unto the Lord and I receive the fruit of heaven on earth marriage Thank You Lord!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you work in this wisdom as a wife, I declare peace, love and rest in your home in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
