  • IS THERE ANY CONTRADICTION BETWEEN FAITH AND WORK?

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday March 10, 2023

    IS THERE ANY CONTRADICTION BETWEEN FAITH AND WORK?

    But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
    James 2:20 (KJV)

    Romans 3:27-28 (BBE) says, ‘What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith. For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.’ Apostle Paul is saying that you don’t need the works of the law to emerge the righteousness of Yahweh in HaMashiach. That the works of the law cannot get you saved, only faith in Yahushua HaMashiach can. James 2:26 (NET) says, ‘For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.’ Apostle James is saying that if your faith in Yahushua HaMashiach does not produce good works, that your faith is dead. Now, the question is: Is there a conflict between the view of Apostle Paul and Apostle James? The answer is emphatically NO. There is no conflict whatsoever between the views of these Apostles. They are saying two different things and it is important you understand it.

    Apostle Paul was addressing a false teaching that faith in Yahushua HaMashiach alone was not enough for salvation, that you must have to observe the law otherwise you couldn’t be saved. The teachers of these falsehood were insisting that new believers be circumcised and observe the law otherwise they are not saved. But the works of the law cannot save anybody. If it could, then there wouldn’t have been need for Yahushua HaMashiach to come and die. No person can be saved by observing the law. Observing the law is good because the law is the commandment of Yahweh but it is grossly impotent in securing salvation for humanity. If you want to be saved, the only way is to believe in the sacrifice of Yahushua HaMashiach and receive Him into your spirit/heart by confessing Him as Lord and Saviour. As simple as this is, it is the only way to be saved.

    Apostle James on the other hand was addressing high-handedness of some believers whose faith is only by mouth, without works of mercy and compassion. The truth is that if you are truly born again, the love of the brethren must be in your heart. If your heart is devoid of that love and compassion, your faith is dead, you haven’t met with the Lord at all. James 2:15-17 (NET) says, ‘15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacks daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it? 17 So also faith, if it does not have works, is dead being by itself.’ The works here are the works that show that you believe not the works that will secure salvation for you. You already have salvation. This is called ‘the works of faith’. It is working in obedience to the word because you believe the one who said it. So, there is no conflict between the two concepts. Let me ask you, does the faith you claim to have in Yahushua HaMashiach produce good works (See Ephesians 2:10)? Selah!

    REMEMBER: Genuine faith powers good works.

    PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for your word to me today. Help me to be mindful to do good to my family, brethren and neighbours in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Today marks the end of every form of hard-heartedness. Your life shall be characterised with good works in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • FAITH COMES

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday March 6, 2023

    FAITH COMES

    So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
    Romans 10:17 (KJV)

    Faith is the gift that the Holy Spirit imparts to your spirit upon hearing the gospel of Yahushua HaMashiach. So faith comes primarily by hearing the Word of HaMashiach. Someone had said that the second hearing in our text is understanding; so that the text could read faith comes by hearing and understanding the word of HaMashiach without doing the text any injustice. It is not anything that you hear that gives you faith; it is hearing the word of HaMashiach. So, you must be careful of what you hear. You are absolutely responsible for what enters your ears or what you see. Some hearing imparts fear. Just as faith comes by hearing the Word of HaMashiach, fear comes by hearing the word of Satan and evil people. So guarding what you hear becomes very paramount.

    The hearing that brings faith comes in these ways:

    1. Reading the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit imparts faith. It is understanding that brings faith and it is the Holy Spirit that brings illumination to our spirits. Light from the Bible is what imparts faith in the heart of people. That was the case of Daniel in 9:2, “In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.”
    2. Studying the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit imparts faith. In studying the scripture, you pick a particular topic or character and seek to know as much as the Word says about it. When you are through with a study, your faith is boosted in that area of the knowledge of Yahweh. (see II Timothy 2:15)
    3. Meditating on the Word of Yahweh by the help of the Holy Spirit imparts faith. To meditate is to mutter, to speak to yourself the word of Yahweh. Meditation is confessing the word to yourself loudly or silently. (see Joshua 1:8)
    4. Hearing the testimonies of the acts of Yahweh imparts faith. Testimonies bring faith in Yahweh into your spirit and emboldens you to trust Him for replication of that act. (see Revelation 12:11)
    5. Speaking in the tongues of the Spirit imparts faith. Jude 1:20 (NET) says, ‘But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith, by praying in the Holy Spirit,’. As you speak in tongues, the word settles in your spirit-man with powerful conviction that kill every form of doubt.

    Giving yourself wholly to the Word in reading, studying, meditating, hearing testimonies and consistently speaking in the tongues of the Holy Spirit will build and develop your faith for triumph. Give all diligence to build your faith (see II Peter 1:10). The level to which you understand the Word will determine the level to which you will produce proofs (see Matthew 13:23). Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Faith comes by hearing and understanding the Word – the Bible.

    CONFESSION: My heart is flooded with light as I read, study and meditate on the Word of Yahweh. I only give my attention to the Word and my faith is built up to dare the impossible. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Grace to sit down to read and study the Word is released upon you now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (7): SPEEDY REVERBERATION OF HEALING/HEALTH

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday January 12, 2023

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (7): SPEEDY REVERBERATION OF HEALING/HEALTH

    … and thine health shall spring forth speedily: …Isaiah 58.8 (KJV)

    When we say that fasting springs forth speedily your healing and health, we are just stating the obvious both from scriptures and from raw testimonies. There is no sickness that cannot be terminated by fasting. Even medical doctors, have discovered that majority of ailments is a function of what people eat, so when you eliminate such diets, the body naturally recovers. Cancers have been seen to dry up and die in long fasts and afterwards the person tests showed that he/she was cancer free. Your health springing forth speedily is both supernaturally and naturally. The body has been enabled by the creator to heal itself in some cases that the challenge is not organic. Just going on a 21 days to 40 days total fast can take care of your frequent health challenges, and afterwards, resume eating healthy ensures that you sustain the gains of your fast. And all this is just naturally, the body repairs itself. Please refer to the scientifically certified repair workings of fasting as we have already seen.

    Your health springing forth is also supernaturally. Whatever the challenge with your body and health is can be sorted out by the power of Adonai as you fast. In this realm, all organic malfunctions can be healed by the power of Adonai as you fast. The Lord Yahushua says that “this kind” does not go except by prayer and fasting (see Mark 9:29). “This kind” covers all types and even ones that cannot be diagnosed in the laboratory because they have their roots in Satan. As you fast, the roots of that affliction comes under the judgment of Yahweh and you walk free. Bondages are broken; yokes are destroyed and whatever that is troubling you comes under the vengeance of the Lord as you fast. In His book “Fasting” Jentezen Franklin shared testimonies of his Church members along this line. They fast for 21 days to start the year. “Eve had people testify that only three days into a fast for a loved one suffering with cancer, the cancer was completely cured! Another lady’s son was dying from a 107-degree fever associated with his leukemia. The very first day of the fast, the boy’s fever broke, and he didn’t suffer a trace of brain damage! One year, only three days into the fast, Melissa testified that her father had been battling prostate cancer and that she had begun the fast on his behalf. When he went to the doctors for a procedure, to their shock, the doctors found no signs of the cancer anywhere! God healed him.”

    You can stand for your loved ones and demand that they are released from terminal affliction in fasting and the Lord will honour you as you will see their healing springing forth speedily.

    REMEMBER: Fasting facilitates your health springing forth speedily.

    CONFESSION: The Spirit of Him that raised HaMashiach from the dead lives in me and that Spirit revitalises my body. As I fast my youth is renewed like the eagles and my health springs forth speedily. Glory be Yahweh!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that the root of that infirmity in your body is destroyed and eliminated from your body today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (6): ERUPTION OF SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday January 11, 2023

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (6): ERUPTION OF SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

    Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, …
    Isaiah 58:8 (KJV)

    We are living in the days of prophetic gross darkness (see Isaiah 60:1-2). Darkness connotes the devil and all his manifestations. Darkness is a state of visionlessness, purposelessness, and hopelessness. Darkness is a state where you do not know what to do, where to go and what to expect. Darkness is a state of confusion, contradiction, conflict and depression. Light here implies illumination, insight, understanding and enlightenment. Light here means the opening of the Word of God for you to the point of understanding and seeing really what God is showing you from the pages of scripture. To be lighted is to be lifted. To be illuminated is to be elevated. The glory of your life is at the mercy of light because until you are illuminated, you will end up eliminated. Your change of story is at the instance of light. Until you can see it, you cannot seize it. Your inheritance in HaMashiach (Christ) is available and ready for the taking, but it would take you to see it to seize it. So anything that you would do to see the hidden treasures behind the written Word, it is wisdom to go for it.

    There is one thing the Bible guarantees will make your light to break forth as the morning. It is fasting. Fasting facilitates the springing forth of your light which in turn causes you to take a flight to the top. Your place is at the top if you are interested. When you fast, the limitations of the flesh are overcome and your spirit is freed to explore in revelations of the Lord. The scales over your eyes suddenly fall off and you can now see clearly what the Spirit is saying to you to do. And when you can see the Word of God, it imparts faith. When faith comes, anything is absolutely possible to you. You begin to walk in the stances of Adonai because you are operating in the faith of Yahweh by the illumination of scriptures. That impacts authority and dominion over the elements of the earth. This is your turn. You shall no more walk in darkness. Confusion is over in your life from today!

    Influence and impact for the gospel is only possible when your light comes. But light is not cheap, it comes in the labour room of fasting. It is those pregnant with fasting that gives birth to spiritual understanding which we call light. See the expression “Then shall thy light break forth as the morning”, that connotes that it was hedged in until there is a force that catapults it out forcefully as it were. Fasting is that force that secures and breaks forth your light. Being lighted is your inheritance in HaMashiach but it takes fasting to see the realization. As you fast and pray, the prayer of Apostle Paul in Ephesians 1:17-18 is fulfilled in your life. That shall be your testimony!

    REMEMBER: Fasting secures the breaking forth of spiritual understanding.

    CONFESSION: My eyes of understanding are enlightened to know what is the hope of my calling and what is the riches of my inheritance in the saints and what is the exceeding greatness of His power that is at work in me mightily. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree the breaking forth of your light now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

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

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday December 28, 2022

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

    Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
    II Thessalonians 1:6 (KJV)

    When you follow divine direction, oppositions to your Yahweh-ordained inheritance are taken care of by Yahweh. Yahweh takes your enemies down for your sake. It is a righteous thing with Yahweh to smite all that rise up against you (see II Thessalonians 1:6). Even Yahushua had to surrender himself otherwise no hands could be laid on Him. Those that came to arrest the Lord Yahushua had to fall before him. They couldn’t stand his presence. No man could harm Yahushua until He surrendered himself for the cross. John 18:4-6 showed us that, ‘4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.’ You are indomitable walking in the will of Yahweh; following divine direction for your life. I Peter 3:13 says, ‘And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?’ You are unconquerable following divine direction because all the powers of heaven are at your disposal to handle any satanic uprisings. You don’t struggle to reign and rule following divine direction.

    Psalms 25:1,5 says, ‘1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.’ Following Yahweh’s plan for your life renders the devil helpless over you. You become unbeatable, a man respected by hell. Why? Because Yahweh cannot send you on a mission and Satan hijack you. He may attempt to, by causing uproar and confusion, so that you don’t have access to Yahweh’s voice; but once you refuse to be distracted, Satan cannot handle you. Remember that it is Yahweh’s will to lead you to where the pastures are green. He is committed to leading you to where your profiting lies (see Isaiah. 48:17), but you must be a committed follower. I believe that your commitment to following divine direction will skyrocket after knowing what it has to offer you.

    The life of king David is another vivid example of Yahweh taking care of oppositions when you are following divine direction. The only time king David recorded evil in his life and family was the time that he sinned against the Lord. Can you imagine the powers that be in a country with all the military might coming against a man to crush him still they couldn’t? That was because David was committed to following divine instructions. They hunted David, still couldn’t handle him (see I Samuel 26). Instead Yahweh brought the opposition King Saul into David’s hand to do with him as he wishes to show that following divine direction you are never at the mercy of your enemies and adversaries; instead, they are at your mercy.

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

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

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

  • WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (1): EXISTENCE IN THE STILL WATERS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday December 27, 2022

    WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (1): EXISTENCE IN THE STILL WATERS

    He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
    Psalms 23:2 [KJV]

    There is a place of existence besides the still waters. It is a place of peace, calm and unfathomable tranquillity. It is a place of supernatural comfort and rest. The still waters of destiny is a real place but it is only reserved for those that are led by Yahweh’s Spirit. The still waters is that place where the Lord takes over your battles. Yahweh through the prophetic told Jehoshaphat and Judah to set themselves. II Chronicles 20:17 says, “Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.” Do you want to see the salvation of the Lord, then it behoves on you to be diligent to access divine direction. That leading into the still waters for Jehoshaphat and Judah came out of a three days fast. These things don’t fall into one’s lap, you have to reach out and lay hold on them. The challenge is not if there is a place where one can enjoy the still waters of Yahweh. The challenge we have today is taking responsibility like King Jehoshaphat and Judah did to ask direction from the Lord. But Beloved, there is no way around it. If you desire to exist around the still waters, divine direction is the way there.

    When we talk about existing in the still waters, it does not imply that you would never go through challenges in life. But it does imply that His presence will take you through whatever the challenge is that is confronting you. The problem is that most turbulence in life is caused by not going the direction the Lord is leading one. For instance, see prophet Jonah in the storm. Was it the will of Yahweh for him? The answer is No! But disobedience brought him to that storm. The same is true. You would see less challenges in life if you are heading the direction that the Lord is leading. The leading of the Lord is the answer to peace and quiteness in life. Following the plan of the Lord for your life is the answer to arresting the uprisings of Satan most times. You would completely avoid the path of the storm especially those usually encountered as a result of disobedience. Before the Lord leads you to certain direction most times, He would have seen the danger ahead and that direction is to stir you away from the agenda of your enemy Satan but most times we prefer our own ways and the limited permutations of our mind.

    I prefer to look foolish before my eyes and the eyes of people following divine direction than to be hailed by people but on the road where Yahweh is not leading. I just love existence in the realms of peace, tranquillity and overflowing joy than constantly being under pressure and attacks from left, right and centre. It gives peace of mind knowing you are in the will of Yahweh undergoing a challenge than otherwise. May the still waters become your permanent abode from today! Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Existence in the still waters is heaven on earth experience.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask for grace to always follow your leading and your plans for my life so that I can abide in the still waters in the mighty name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Your days of existence in turmoil and calamity is over in Yahushua’s name Amen!

  • JOY TO THE WORLD – MERRY YAHUSHUA BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday December 25, 2022

    JOY TO THE WORLD – MERRY YAHUSHUA BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

    And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
    Luke 2:10 (KJV)

    Luke 2:6-7 says, ‘6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.’ The groping in the dark was finally over. The Way was born. Angels heralded it with joy. Luke 2:8-15, ‘8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.’

    Beloved, our search came to an end the day HaMashiach was born. Throughout all ages, people had desired to related with Yahweh in a more personal intimate ways but it was impossible because of sin. Humanity lost Eden the place of Yahweh’s presence (Emmanuel) and unfortunately we didn’t know how to get back there. We lost the way and joy. Oh but what is this sound the angels just heralded now? It is joy that the way to the Father was born. We just got back the way to Eden.. This is something to shout about. No wonder, the angels could not contain their joy. Humanity just got back the way to the presence of Yahweh. This means beloved, that you should never miss your way again in life because Yahushua HaMashiach the way is born and today we are remembering and celebrating this good tidying of great joy. Hallelujah!

    Divine direction should not be a mystery any more. Nothing in life should be a mystery any more because the demystifier is born. Best of all, we are now in Him. I am now at home with the Father living right inside of me. Yahweh is no more a mystery to me, all because of Yahushua HaMashiach. Beloved, hope you know Him. Hope you are in Him. Hope you have surrendered your life to Yahushua HaMashiach and living in love with Him. Rejoice if you have done that because you are the most blessed and favoured on earth. Rejoice today and share with someone that the way is born. The Way to the Father, the Way to life and peace. The Way to eternity in the Kingdom of Yahweh. The Way that has separated us from eternity in the lake of fire. Rejoice! Celebrate! My joy knows no bounds! Merry Yahushua Birthday Celebration!

    REMEMBER: Joy to the world, the way is born. Halleluyah!

    THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, thank You for the birth of Yahushua HaMashiach. Thank You for loving us so much that You brought us back to the place of Your presence, to Eden. Thank You for saving me and I ask that someone somewhere who has not known You would see the light today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Today shall mark the beginning of unending celebration in your life and family in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (7): NO PRECONCEIVED OPTIONS

    Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
    Ezekiel 14:3 (KJV)

    Ezekiel 14:4 says, ‘Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;’ Yahweh is saying that don’t come to seek for my direction if you already have option in your heart. You have decided what to do then you come to the Lord and say “Lord, what do you want me to do about so so and so?” Meanwhile, you have already made up your mind on what you are doing. That attitude blocks you from ever accessing divine direction. You must come to the Lord with open mind like a baby who truly does not know what to do concerning the area you are seeking direction from Yahweh. Yahweh says, if you have your preconceived ways and you come to make a fool of Yahweh, then He will make a fool of you. He will answer you according to your heart. You know what that means? He will okay whatever you have made up your mind to do even if it will take your life, He would not disturb you. He is answering you according to your heart.

    You must understand that Yahweh sees what is going on in your heart. He is hearing what you are saying but He is also seeing what is going on in your heart. You are saying one thing but another thing is in your heart. “Let me just finish this prayer, I know what I am going to do”. Adonai is also watching you and saying, “You can just go and do that thing in your heart because I am not going to say anything to you, it would be a complete waste of time.” A couple of men came to prophet Jeremiah and asked him to inquire of the Lord for them whether they should go down to Egypt or stay in the land of Israel at a time when the person the king of Babylon placed on the throne was murdered with Chaldean soldiers. So the men sent Prophet Jeremiah to inquire of the Lord for them, they said “That the Lord thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.” (see Jeremiah 42:3) The Prophet obliged them and took their matter to Yahweh. When Yahweh told them through Prophet Jeremiah what to do, because they already had preconceived action, they rebelled (see Jeremiah 43:1-7).

    Having already determined what you want to do in any issue, don’t bother to ask Yahweh because He would answer you according to your heart and it may not be the best for you. So always come before Him bare as someone that truly wants to know what to do and when you have that witness in your spirit, you go ahead and hearken to the instruction. That is the way to go. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Always come with a true heart before Yahweh not having any alternative at all.

    CONFESSION: I am always your baby my Lord and King. I don’t know what to do and where to go. I totally depend on you to lead me to the green pastures of life. I shall not miss you because you are committed to leading me. Glory to Your Holy Name!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: That thing in you that makes you feel that you are sufficient on your own ability without Yahweh is cursed today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (6): PRAISE LIFESTYLE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (6): PRAISE LIFESTYLE

    Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.
    Isaiah 30:29 (KJV)

    It is a spiritual reality that having a song facilitates hearing from Yahweh. At a point, the prophet Elisha needed to know what Yahweh was saying to the kings that came to inquire of the Lord about the journey they were undertaking. In II Kings 3:15 Prophet Elisha requested that a minstrel be brought to him and as the minstrel played the hand of the Lord came upon the Prophet and he prophesied. Praise is Yahweh’s habitat. When praise is available the presence of Yahweh is invoked and when Adonai is available, then His voice can be heard. Anyone that desires to get divine direction must strive to provide the atmosphere for the presence of Yahweh. You must run away from any form of gloom, anger, boredom, depression and weariness. These are enemies of Yahweh’s presence. Do you know that in the ancient times, you dare not appear before a king with a sad face. That is automatic death sentence. It is considered as treason. How are kings welcomed? By singing and dancing and rejoicing. Earthly kings learnt those protocols from Yahweh. You cannot have access to the presence of Yahweh with a gloomy heart and face. You want direction from Yahweh? Then you need to enter His presence first.

    Psalms 100:4 says, ‘Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.’ The pass code to the presence of Adonai is coming with a grateful, thankful heart. Then go ahead to sing and dance before HIm. In the midst of your celebration of Yahweh, the heavens will open and the voice of El-Shaddai concerning what you are asking will be known. Just know that sadness, gloominess and depression will lock you out of His presence and ultimately out of divine direction. Our opening text says that a song is one of the rituals of a holy solemnity. A holy solemnity is that moment when you are serious and in a reverence mode before the Lord. If you desire to come into that mode of holy reverence with a serious consciousness before the Lord, then you come with a song. Then it says “and gladness of heart as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord”. That means that coming into the mountain of the Lord requires gladness of heart and a pipe/organ/ or any instrument of music.

    These are divine protocols and in the school of divine direction, you must master these in order to arrive at your desire of hearing and understanding the leading of the Lord. So check yourself today, if you qualify to be led by Yahweh. Are you given to gladness of heart? Do you always have a song especially in the night? You have seen that being solemn involves having a song not a tight face. We have missed it for so long. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Having a song and gladness of heart is a necessity to hear the voice of Yahweh.

    CONFESSION: Joy unspeakable full of glory is the level I function in by the power of the Holy Spirit. No room for sadness, gloominess and depression. I live on the mountain top of life 24/7. Glory to the Father!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I command an end now to whatever eats up your joy and deposits heaviness into your spirit in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • TO ACCESS HOLY SPIRIT’S VOICE (1): BE IN THE SPIRIT

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday December 11, 2022

    TO ACCESS HOLY SPIRIT’S VOICE (1): BE IN THE SPIRIT

    I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
    Revelation 1:10 (KJV)

    The Holy Spirit speaks. The challenge we have today is that we are not positioned in that place to access His glorious voice. Right now as you are reading this, there are radio waves in the air but you are not hearing anything because one you may not have the right kind of equipment to access the waves or you may even have the right equipment but it may not be powered on or even tuned into the frequency of the sound. So, you don’t only need the right kind of equipment or even having that equipment powered on, you also need to know how to tune your radio to the right frequency to be able to access the sound wave in the air. The Holy Spirit speaks and wants to speak to you even now however, you need to know how to connect to His frequency. So, what must I do if I desire to access the voice of the Holy Spirit? Today, let us look at the fact that the Holy Spirit’s voice is a spiritual reality that can only be accessed in the Spirit. Be in the Spirit. That is be conscious of the presence of the Holy Spirit on your inside. Be conscious of it. Live in its constant awareness and consciousness. That is what it means to be in the Spirit. In that consciousness, the Holy Spirit can open your eyes to see things into the realm and reality of the spirit world. The Holy Spirit can open your ears to hear into the realm of the spirit.

    How can you maintain the consciousness of the presence of the Holy Spirit? John 6:63 says, “It is the spirit that quickeneth? the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” The words that I speak to you are spirit. The Word of Yahweh communicates His Spirit to us. Being in the Word helps you maintain the consciousness of the presence of the Holy Spirit. You are in the Spirit when you are reading, listening and meditating on the Word. In that realm, encounters are obvious to happen. In that realm, you have access to the voice of the Holy Spirit. The realm of the Word is the realm of access to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

    Psalms 29:3 says, “The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters.” Ephesians 5:26 says, “That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,” The water is the Word of Yahweh. The voice of the Holy Spirit is upon the Word. He breathe over the word. So, being in the Word affords you the opportunity to encounter the voice of the blessed Holy Spirit. Do you now see why the voice of the Holy Spirit is scarce in our day? Many people these days have zero time for the Word.

    Finally, to be in the Spirit, you would need to maintain an attitude of prayer. I Thessalonians 5:17 says, “Pray without ceasing.” That is maintain an attitude of prayer always. This is a lifestyle of being in the Spirit. When you pray always, you are in contact with the Spirit, helping you function in that frequency where you can access His voice. More so, when you are praying in the Spirit majority of the time. Selah

    REMEMBER: You need to be in the Spirit to access the glorious voice of the Holy Spirit.

    CONFESSION: I am dwelling in the secret place of the Most High as I read, study and meditate on the Word daily and maintain a prayer glow consistently. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: From today you begin to enjoy the activities that makes you live in the Spirit as a lifestyle in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
