Jesus, followed by Simon Peter and Andrew

Even every one that is
called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea,
I have made him (Isaiah 43:7).

The reason
many people still find themselves in unpleasant situations is that they have
not come to terms with their identity in Christ Jesus. You must realize that
you aren’t a part of the masses. Though you’re in the world, you’re not subject
to its rules and procedures.

From the day
you were born again, God gave you the ability to become the best of you that
you could be. In Matthew 4:19, Jesus met two fishermen (Peter and Andrew) and
said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men”. What interests
me here is not what they would become (Fishers of men) but that Jesus was the
One making them, and not they trying to become.

Therefore,
the issue isn’t what you’re being made into, but that God is the One making
you. If He makes you, nobody can unmake you! He lives in you to make you become
that dream that you have in your heart. You don’t need money to become what He
wants you to be.

You don’t
have to wait for promotion to take you from one level to another. You are a
child of God and you deserve the best. It doesn’t matter where you begin; what
matters is where you are going. Wake up, rise, shake yourself out of the dust,
and be the person God has ordained you to be because you can!

PRAYER

Dear Lord, thank You for choosing me
out of the world for Your glory. Thank You for the divine ability to become
whatever I want to be. I take advantage of this power that’s at work in me and
I bring forth durable fruit, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

FOLLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT.

One of the things you must do throughout this year is to yield to the Holy Spirit and follow His guidance and counsel in all your dealings. No other personality in this life is worth following but the Holy Spirit. He’s the greatest friend and teacher you could ever know; He’s the One called alongside to go with you, and to be with you and in you! He’s the One who guides you into all truth and brings His Word to your remembrance.
Following the Holy Spirit means yielding yourself to Him through the Word of God. You cannot follow the Holy Spirit except you’re yielded to God’s Word; doing what He says. This will reflect the beauty of God in you and help you live a more excellent life. You’ll find yourself making the best decisions and the right choices always. You’ll do the right the first time, be at the right place at the right time, and live an inspiring life.
How important it is to be led by the Holy Spirit of God in all your affairs! No one but He can give you true counsel and guidance in life. So be sure to yield to Him with all your heart. Isaiah 30:21 says “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” Also, He said through the Psalm 32:8, “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye.” This is the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life, take advantage of it today and you’ll never lose your way.

CONFESSION
I yield myself to You precious Holy Spirit to be led, instructed and directed in all my dealings today, and throughout this year! And as I do this, my entire life is transformed form glory to glory, in Jesus Christ Mighty Name, Amen!

Communication Deepens Our Fellowship With God

Every relationship without communication suffers; be it relationship with your children, your spouse, your co-workers, or with God. Communication – good and frequent communication – helps or enhances relationships. If you have a relationship with someone you don’t talk with, that relationship will suffer setbacks. No matter how proximate you may be to the person, without continually exchanging thoughts by talking to each other, your relationship won’t grow.

This is the reason we’re to constantly fellowship with the Lord through prayer. 2 Corinthians 13:14 says “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.” This is an indication of the kind of relationship we’re to cultivate with the Holy Spirit; a communion; a sharing together. The Father and the Son are in heaven, but the Holy Spirit is here with us. Hence, He’s the God we know and relate with in the earth today, and He lives in us, fostering this extraordinary communion with divinity.

There’s no other way to develop an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit, aside from communing with Him constantly in prayer, and through meditation on the Word. Consciously create time to talk to and with the Lord the same way you’ll perhaps schedule to talk to a friend, colleague or loved one.

Remember, the Holy Spirit is a person with emotions, will and intellect; therefore relate to Him as such. The highest means of communication with Him is by speaking in tongues; and as you do, He’ll make the presence of God real to you and the miraculous your constant experience.

PRAYER

Dear Holy Spirit, thank You for Your abiding presence that brings glory and beauty to my life. I’m constantly energized from within because You strengthen me with might in my inner man, even as I fellowship with You today. Thank You for Your glorious ministry in my life, in Jesus Christ’s Name, Amen!

Give no place to sickness, disease or infirmity in your body! it’s the temple of the Holy Spirit

As a child of God and a believer in Christ, your body is the temple of The Holy Spirit. But you’re the custodians or caretaker of your body. Thus, you have the right to determine what happens to, and in, your physical body.

As the watchman over your body, it’s your responsibility to give no place to sickness in your body, for you stand to give account to God for whatever you allow or disallow in your physical body. You’re to permit in your body only those things that are consistent with the Word of God for your life. That means you’re to give no place to sickness, disease or infirmity in your body!

Sickness cannot stay in your body if you don’t allow it. Your body can only get sick when you endorse sickness, for until you endorse it, it’s nothing but a mirage. No wonder the Bible says they that dwell in Zion shall not say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24). So as one who’s born again refuse to be sick. Take charge and rule over your body with the Word of God; refuse to yield your body to sickness.

When you sense the symptons of sickness in your body, refuse to consider them for they’re nothing but lying vanities. They only become real when you say they are, because what you say is what you get. This is what the Word of God teaches in Mark 11:23, “…he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Therefore, never say “I have headaches,” or “I have the flu,” or “I’ve got migraines,” or I have “diabetes”; never endorse sickness.

What? Know ye not your body is the temple of The Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (1 Corinthians 6:19)

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, how gracious and loving you are to me. Thank you for making my body the temple of Your Holy Spirit. I’m continually strengthened with might in my inner man as the anointing of Your Spirit runs through every fibre of my being, making me sickness and disease-free, in Jesus’ Name, Amen!
